Always making
I have found myself living inside of my head, more so.
I made a list of things I would love to do but saw at some point maybe even now improbable.
1. Paint a 100ft mural in South America.
2. Make my own designer plastic toys.
3. Become a full time painter.
4. Build a greenhouse when we get a house.
5. Only speak Portuguese for a year.
6. Only eat fresh farmer’s market foods everyday.
7. Make art on the moon.
8. Retire my family all at once, together off my art.
9. Make all my own animation for my videos and make money from it.
These are not all impossible, most aren’t even hard to start doing. I guess there is a fear of failure and a fear of how expensive that failure would be. So I dream out loud and circle them on my calendars and planners.

I think I can do some of them this year. Mostly the Moon one. 🥰🫀
We are only stopped by our mind’s limits. I want to think it’s all a lucid dream. The ocean is my metronome.

The silent moments are the sound of a record spinning in the darkness after it has finished all the inner circles

Live in the paint and love in the ink.

What advice would you give to your teenage self?

When I started my art career I was really in my twenties. I was stubborn and silly and knew everything I was ever going to know, so twenty. Very silly. I always had a brush in my hands since age 4 but I never saw it as a living until I was 23.
Living at the beach with nothing to do I started reading all my art books again. It all started to make sense. It had to be books I had sense I was a little guy with chickenpox. Silly things kept in unsearched pockets.

My advice as a silly 40 something now is don’t just collect good books, read them too. That and don’t trust shrink wrapping on an art book.
That and lastly, be nice to yourself.
I love you… me.
