New Year's Day

Aw the new year. The fresh start. A chance to get it right for once. So 2012 was an alright year, made my fist art sales on the internet, one of many goals. This year is already jammed packed with opportunities. Train-jumping, Tulsa/OKC Momentum, My 29th Birthday, 2 Books, more artwork posted for sale, Firefighter tryouts, EMT Life, Dive Master Training, Proposing to Megan, Mom/Dad's Birthdays, Help my Brother get his life on track, and instead of doing 2 things half ass, I'll be shooting for doing one thing whole ass - Ron Swanson

The Beginning of the End

I'm not going to lie. I don't like this time of year. My biggest issue in life is the end. Once you've reached it, I feel so unsatisfied. I know I am not the only one on this issue, but it just sucks. Example: one of my favorite past-times (which I haven't done in a long time) is watch a trilogy, saga, or legacy (if that is what you call the next set after a saga) in a day if possible. The only problem is I feel upset when it's over, because I must go back to reality.

Do I really belong here? In this form of being? I don't necessarily believe in past lives, but more of an understanding of a drive to be apart of another time or dream. Heck even another form of reality. The closest parallel dimension is only a, in theory, millimeter away from your exact location right now. What exists on that other side? I do hope to find out one day. Back to my bashing of this time of year. The general public tend to get way too stressed for a holiday meant to be about loving one another. People should slow down and breath again. It's our journey that makes life worth living.

November's Bounty

So I am working as an EMT now. Got a couple of freelance gigs going on. Deciding whether to sell the house or work harder to make more money. Haven't painted in a while, but I am working on sketches. Will post art soon. Thanks for listening.

October's Harvest

The Guardian at the Falls

As we move into my favorite time of the year, I like to look back how the year has been overall. The beginning of the year started with me going back to school to become an EMT. I lost my job as a graphic designer at a company that didn't appreciate me looking for another career due to their hostile work environment. My love for art has kept me in the field of design, but I was only in it for art. I haven't had the easiest time setting aside time for my art, both because I want to entertain myself and lack of inspiration. I am currently working on a children's book and getting back into painting for next year's new pieces. On the 13th of this month Living Arts is hosting Momentum (Artshow for artist under 30 years). My art was fortunate enough to make it once again into the show. Their choice of 3 of my submissions was not what I expected but so be it. I create for myself and need no explanation. Until next month, talk with you then! Thanks for listening

Labor Day Weekend

Dinner with the parents. Meg's Birthday on the 14th. First month working as an EMT and loving it. Art submission to Tulsa's Momentum, 1 piece chosen (Underopolis II). Continuing to workout in hopes of one day becoming a firefighter. Struggling with relationship with Meg, but worked it out. Must prepare for oncoming of winter. Thanks for listening

Munny, munny, munny!

The Munny

The Mega Munny. So I received this piece in the mail from a friend who wanted some custom art done for a gift to his girlfriend. So here are the progress photos for everyone's enjoyment. Hope you like!

My Mother's Birthday

To my mother, who's birthday is today. Thank you for all that you have done for me in the past present and future. I am so lucky to have a mother like you. Always loving, always caring, always worrying, and always sharing your knowledge. I wouldn't trade you for any other mother in the world and I truly miss not living with you. You have such an exciting life and hope you have the time to document every last detail.
