new projects....

am trying to pursue all avenues. there is a concept that i am following, a voice that leads me on to produce images in paint, ink or pen and now in recent projects i am in process of working on in sound and video installations. sonic landscapes to accompany my illustrations. this is an endeavor with fellow artist, trevor shaw, a friend and collaborator. we are working on a project called "empty stains", attempting to bring together visual art and the art of sound and performance.

also.

ive decided to start, or rather get back into making comics... cartoons to be more precise. it is what made me want to be an artist when i was younger, reading calvin and hobbes, the far side, etc, etc,. . . . .

i used to draw and write them for years, until i felt i evolved on to pursue fine art.

i feel the need now to return to that. im working on something, and soon ill have some links to its site and hopefully have them on these cartoon stip sites ive been looking at.

it is somewhat fulfilling, beginning the work on these... and hopefully something decent will turn out and come from it.

hello from the abyss.

hello from the past.

been some time that ive wrote down anything. if i do it is in my sketch book. and then i remember i am lazy and do not dictate it to this machine here.

ahhhhh.... how time has gone by..... i feel old. i can feel time slipping. with no accomplishments to really say i am proud of.

grab life by the reigns, boy! seize life! yadda yadda.

have not posted new art work here for a while now. again laziness. i need a secretary. or an aprentice. somehting. too many social site to keep my work posted and fresh. and oh yes, i have to create it as well.

this is not to say i have not been painting. well i have not been. really. well slightly i suppose.

i started a new series on canvas. have several of them laying around here and then it dawned on me that there is no where to show them. so whats the point i thought.

this is the good thing with water colors and that i can get these damned images out and put em away in a folder until some unlikely soul buys one.

not that i have not been attempting to show in galleries and the like. i have. its just such..... oh i dont know.

a studio full of material. and a lack of drive. but yet full of it at the same time. quite frustrating.

thoughts jumbled and scrambled.

working on abstract sound scapes at the moment... and video material....

panic attacks.

anxiety.

pain.

my scoliosis has grown worse i believe. constant pain 24-7.

ahhhh typical sundays.
