“You can pretend I’m an old millionaire, a millionaire washing his hands” It’s a scene from “Swamp” from Stop Making Sense. This is a tiny page in a grid paper art journal. Me, 2020

A long time ago, there were dinosaurs. This we know. They left behind their bones and skulls as proof they were here; I appreciate that evidence, my Jurassic dudes. So here is a sketch I did, here’s one for the fossil record you could say. The stegosaurus is traditionally my favorite dinosaur, but hey it’s a triceratops in this drawing.

“Question the Answers” by me, 2021 Watercolor crayons Why? It’s important to question the answers. Curiosity keeps me going. How do you know that what you’ve heard is indeed the answer? Is the answer an opinion or a fact? Is the fact reliable? What can I learn? I have to find out  Asking “Why?” is my right so I can make sure to proceed with all the knowledge I can gather on a situation to best suit my needs. Incorrect information is given all the time under the guise of being helpful but only serves to breed subjective and divided opinions. Never stop paying attention.

“Christmas With Family” me, watercolor, 2020 I guess this is how spending time with my family makes me feel. It’s stressful, I feel misunderstood, and I don’t have anything in common with them. The repetition of painting these circles was hypnotic and soothing. The orange was mostly a stylistic choice and also a subtle homage to Kubrick. Circles contain circles contain circles contain dots

I did it, I finally set up a Tumblr. I have ridden the mighty moon worm! I plan on using this space to contain my arts and mixed media projects, experiments, and to gather inspiration and ideas. I hope to finally capture some of the things in my head and put them down here. Arts, photography, sounds and words. We shall see. Stay tuned...
