You used to be alright, what happened ?



Don't worry, they're just words to a song. Yes, a Radiohead song.  I actually thought at one point that I might get that tattooed somewhere, just as a reminder that sometimes we forget ourselves.  Sometimes, we care too much about what people think, and we forget who we are.

Music has a big influence on my work, as I'm sure it does on all artists.  I had spoken about this in another post, but I've made mistakes which I blame entirely on my poor choice of music at the time.

I painted an entire show on one album.  It was dark album that resulted in my show at Galerie Art Image. Unfortunately, I got so obsessed with that album that it made me forget the true meaning of my work.  I remember interviewing with Paul Gessel about it and when he asked me what my work was about I drew a blank, because I had lost focus on how this work actually came about, and then regretfully didn't explain it well.

This is just a rambling, me taking a break from the studio.  Also, I had a crappy day and ate a lot of candy, which made me feel better for about 15 minutes, and now I have a splitting headache and I'm crashing into candy hell.  Hmmm...caffeine ? No...

Maybe a little ukulele ?
