I am an artist. A real artist. Like the kind that is one mad weekend away from chopping an ear off ….

It’s not all paint and canvas. Sometimes you need a break from the madness in America and Mexico was the perfect call. Big sailfish on stand up gear. It lived to fight another day.

Doomscrolling through the end of America is annoying. While my heart hurts, I will expel my energy towards my vision….

Ok…. So I just found out I get a solo art exhibit in my hometown at a local gallery. Go me. It’s a solid 2 months away

Didn’t make me stop and start another though…..taking one of my pen n ink sketches and going bigger…🤦🏻‍♂️
