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.

Into the sun

into the wilds

The time to let all things dry and bond.

Those leaves are the rest of time in a rapper. A moment of space enclosed with a life print, laying in the sun to vanish. The darkness creeps in hours before my mind can grasp it. We are the epicentre. Paint is the epicentre. Ink is the epicentre.

madness

my Summer plans made it!

I have never had a green thumb really ever and yet my studio has kept these babies alive. I know it’s a cactus but I’m back at not killing them from neglect.

I just feel they are beautiful.

that is all.

Do you have studio plants? What are they? How old are they?

Seeing the sun undressed.

Let the sun in and greet her with a hot cocoa.

I’m finding it important to do little rituals in the mornings. They just start everything right.

The cats do it, the dog does it, why not me?

I enjoy the chaos of creativity but maybe I’m out growing that lost feeling? I think so.

meet me in the sleeping world next to the tire swing.

The book

I think I finally know what to illustrate in my book. Not sure what to write yet but it’s progress. it came to me while trueing a wheel at the shop.

I haven’t given up on my only painting what I photograph myself but I’m no longer against using visual aids.

Painter Files- paint count

Resting in the night sky covered in paint.

2 but not three in one.

Intrepid travelings of a painter mind wrapped tight like cough drops in tins.

As one lays waste to the imaginary making thins real on the page.

an end zone of making.
