Life in times of sleeping giants

color

the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light.”the lights flickered and changed color”synonyms:hue · shade · tint · tone · tinge · cast · tincture

I’ve been painting for so long, I’m trying to get out of calling it “making”. The more I think of it it doesn’t feel like it captures what I do. I met someone a few days ago who called themselves a “maker” and was kind of an ass about it. Just how things go.

The art world has way too much ego in it. I never really get why we are expected to turn our noses up? we work hard to enjoy our talents but I look at it like, it’s imagaination, plus practice and then skill. You could paint like me if you practiced but it would be you coping me and not you making something from with in. It would never feel original until you looked and pulled from inside.

Art is crazy.

Little parts working towards everything. It gets easier the more you get into the work and it is work.

Something to be said about fear and fearlessness. They both motivate but in very different ways.

The soul of my brush is fearless but the hands are human. They question the motions. All I can do is giv einto the brush. So many paintings painted up inside me, waiting for a canvas to scream into.

You kind of have to fuck the fear off the hand with paint. I know that sounds insane a little or a lot. Nothing ever gained in my life was because it was given. I walked with wieghts in the water to get here. I fucked up my hands to get here. It just meant more to me than sleep or even madness.

The road to fearless painting is marked on caves inside of scared memories. The passion was and is alwasy there. That why I say “always making”. I make in my sleep , in conversations and even while I eat.

I found my path ad now I run to it.

This story moved me. James Baldwin has been one to the most powerful voices in my life. His books have fueled my imagination since high school.

They are a fun little exercise. I know at some point Marvel might tell me to stop but until then I’ll keep making them. Worst-case scenario I get noticed by Marvel comics. Fun times.

I have a ton of postcards to send out so sign up to be on my mailing list. It’s a very simple concept.

Plus if I might say I love giving away free shit. It just makes me happy. One day when I am a huge success I will do a lot of community stuff for everyone. Art needs to reach out to the masses.

I have so many prints I want to make and sell this season as well. Sadly I am not at the point when I can give those away..but one day.
