My First Art Showing

in ,

after many weeks of preparation I am happy to say that I have a handful of my art on display at Vivace, the coffee shop I work at. I'll be putting more up over the upcoming week.

i've never put art on display like this before. It's truly a dream come true and thank magic for that reality. 

normally it's more about the meditaional moment that I share via zzzwalking.com.  

seeing a sketchbook drawing converted to a computer file... 

then converted to a print that is multiple times the size of the original image...

buying them a frame...

giving those moments names...

that's a lot of work, man. but the process was fun and i plan on doing a lot more of it.

Unframed prints will be available via the interweb store soonly.

but hey! If you live in Portland come check it out! 

Be free fellow earthlings!

Also

I just reread Fahrenheit 451 for the first time since high school.

If you haven't read it in a while or never read it ever, I highly recommend it.

It was written 62 years ago and still feels like it could have been written in the present. 

Stuff, Things, and Acrobats

I've been drawing a lot of randomness lately. It's been rainy these last few days and my head is swirling with words and ideas. 

To begin with I'm really trying to lock in and focus on producing words for a new book or zine or something. I need to focus on the head thoughts of the last year and make it into a something. More on that when it's a more complete idea. But it's a happening in the making.

Also last night I discovered that with the free program inkscape and a scanner I can make vector images of all my drawings.

It's as easy as clicking a few buttons, man. Which means I can make prints to sell, stickers, and/or pictures to go with stories. All the possibilities! 

Also if you haven't been to zzzwalking.com please check it out. There's a total of 6 of us contributing to the site now and it's magical seeing all the happenings. 

Head Thought

Sometimes I think we build such an expectation on what we expect a moment "should be" that we neglect to see the magic/blessings that are happening.

I know I do this. 

The beauty is in the insanity.  

Take time to think.  

Take time to be.  

Be Free Fellow Earthlings.

Documentation

Living in NW Portland has been an ever unfolding adventure.

I would like to relate to you all the things I do, but sometimes photos say enough.  

This life I live is truly a blessing and I'm thankful for everyone who is a part of it.

Thank you friends. 

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Rambling Rainbow Rain

I feel the elements really strong these days

i feel the wind and rain pulsing through my veins like a hurricane

hours feel like days  

they talk of spring and summer like it's just around the corner

i just want the rain

i just want a snow storm

i just like the feeling of having to stay warm

there's a new moon on Tuesday 

and this americano is just about drank  

I need a shower

time to start another day
