I looked up the lyrics to "Revolution" by the Beatles.
as powerful a song you think it may be, its tragically simplistic relative to where we are headed my children. Brace yourselves.

"Realize the change you need to make, take a shot, and dive headfirst into an empty pool."
when i take the time to reflect, i am always amazed at where i am in life. it's a humble existence, but one i could not have dreamed as a latchkey kid in Buffalo. i've no pool on the premises or lamborghini, but i have a car, a sweet motorcycle and i drank champagne for brunch. and i could crack another bottle at will. i live in one of the top 29 cities in the world. i am in a truly healthy, reciprocal, adult relationship. and I love it! i still have great aspirations for fame and notoriety but thats my hang-up... i often ask myself "who do you think you are?!" that's a good thing. i am very thankful through the twists and turns of life i have lodged myself here. for now.
i am a self made man and have pursued my whims for better or worse, and have learned a great deal.
an unequivocal promise
I owe a great debt of gratitude to my mother who encourages me at every turn and finds pride in my adventures as long as they are true!
and i continue...

"A sketchbook is a place to put your heart and soul."
Coming to a gallery near you...
I entered a very cool traveling exhibit called the sketchbook project - look for the show in your area coming 2011. I will post updates often when I receive the book.

I've added several drawings from my "While you were here" series from the Lab Postcard show to the current work section under paintings.

Finally tackling my new portfolio site. Two years ago my last site was hacked crippling it. Iam trying new technologies to keep this site dynamic. We have made major ground setting up my home studio/workspace, returning from a three year hiatus. "I'm Back baby!"
hiatus
-so the story goes.
chewing on my insides and wondering where they went
chasin my tail and rollin in it
-sometimes i forget i only got two legs
it's a gravity thing...
like when you're only half way up you're neither
