A story

Shen I was young my mother used to take me with her to go in car washes. I felt like I was in a submarine and had to hold my breath. It was a game I played. I would bring my toys for car washes. That child like wonder was everything. I sometimes search for that when I make now. I pretend I’m making an adventure in the lines. the ink is like a river leading all over the world. kind of like a road map.

leadings me home to my family.

ease into it

Letting myself make into the ether.

The sound in my ears is ringing again.

so much to do…

Óla

I’m not dead jut tired and taking a little time to rest up. be back later today.

motion

In a fog.

Who and what am I running toward with my art now? I don’t know if I’m going to be infamous museums but I have hope. I had this fear by talking about my nomination I was jinking myself. But I don’t know I believe in jinking.

Makes me what to fight the sky.

Gotta work harder and past even remembering any of it. Because the art is more improtant then the rest stops.

I feel like this life is under water. A season of time cut with Thyme. All these flavors based inside one another and no cook time in sight.

It can be hard to be your own motivation.

no one feels the edge of over cooked like you do when creativity is over stretched. Inktober is a mixture of great ideas and will power sliced with madness and not always the good kind.

in my attempts to find clarity I walk places, like Chinatown. Old shops and wild smells. we shall see as I grow into new things. Some say the worst critics are self. I feel that is a half truth. I say it’s family. They build and break you with good intentions. just breath little Galeras. It gets easier and keep making always.
