I'm Here

   Not much exciting going on. The usual stuff. I'm getting all organized and productive. I'm still all frazzled in the real world, but in my studio things are zooming right along. My website went suddenly blank when I was trying to update it. Somehow all that knuckleheadery led to a better looking site. Hooray for me. Always taking the scenic route, even when I'm running behind. Eh, no real surprise I suppose. Here's a brand new painting:

"You Pay me Just To Talk"

Random Nonsense

  I'm still around. Still trying to find out what my fans really want from me. Insights into my creative process? World class artwork? A sense of humor like no other? Free art? I always think I'm on the right track and then somehow I get distracted. I'm rejuvenating myself. Getting all my biographical information updated ( artist's statement, business plan, bio, CV, all that jazz). It's not the most enjoyable thing I've done, but it gives me a sense of accomplishment. Like when I finish a painting:

  I'm still drawing, but the whole Zen thing seems to be falling off in popularity. I do it for myself, to relax, to access that deep part of my brain that separates me from the average, normal person. I admit it gets kinda far out there:

But, it makes sense to me. I'm fighting the personal demons that have hounded me all these many years. I've even tilted at a few windmills lately (in the name of animal rights).  I've also made veiled references to things that less than a dozen people understand. The main thing is I'm still creating art, much to the chagrin of my arch enemy.
