I said I ‘d have new work soon and it is indeed coming. I almost forgot just how long it takes to do major vis-dev portfolio pages. Haha it’s been years since my last portfolio ( man how time flies!). I remember being back in Georgia doing little paintings everyday trying to figure out what color was. Things were a lot different then. Though I had very little I had the two things I cared about about and I was happy. I was at peace. Success brought me out to L.A. where I’ve grown tremendously as an artist in every respect but the tranquility I once had is almost always out of reach. I can feel the constant anxiety of the inhabitants around me and my mind sometimes dwells on decisions I made over a year ago. I takes my full morning routine (workout, breakfast, shower, meditate) to bring me to a state that I would have considered “mediocre” in the past. Those things aside there is a lot to be fortunate for now and after the morning woes have been shrugged I’m pretty excited to produce some bomb ass material everyday. I suppose this is just growing up but I thank the universe for my gifts and vision. Without it I don’t what I’d do…. This is a quick painting of my view at the West Hollywood Library.
