The free generation
The hell with not being real. Art has this heart to it and if you can’t hear the heartbeat then I will see you on the other side. Paint requires me and inks but not those who can’t feel the strokes. Too long ago I stopped hearing the sound. I was deaf to my hands and canvas. It calls for all these colors and forms and now I hear the ringing and I’m going into the studio to bathe in it. Freedom is blinding and scary but if the shark gets me then I died doing what I love. To the anger … I can swim forever, can you?
By the by we are all great swimmers because watching you drown in front of us as kids looked like it sucked. I want the best for you but I will not stand for any less from my self ever again.
rather be mad than angry any day.

There is this way of making that grabs you and doesn’t let go. It crawls inside of you and becomes your skin. When you eat it turns into the flavor.

Fuck,
I’m a strong believer in curse words. It just feels like freedom. I love the word fuck. It is such an amazing word and conveys so much. I kind of want one day when people ask what my style of painting is fucking painting. I’m a fucking painter. I feel it in bones of my fingers that scream me awake at 3 AM as I wonder the hall in our condo with the cat.
Painter Files ….Inktober week one
The stars are all the salt and pepper that makes us lucid. This month is only a few days in and it is melting away into cooler fall. These lines and colors slowly tap onto my canvases.
I’m making new plans for the next big painting and how to frame them. It is going to be such a big and beautiful adventure. I can’t see the full future of it but I know it is going to be big and loud and amazing.
Side note every day is Inktober when you are always making.
Inktober 1-5 days
I never really know how this will go. It has a power of being a lot of fun but at the same time because everyone is doing it so maybe it’s not special? I want to find a journey of growth in this. I always look for ways to grow and learn from making. I’m not sure what I am going to find in this.
