I finally got around to scanning some interviews and adding them to my website, after, oh I donno, like 5 years passed. LOL Better late than never I suppose. It was interesting to read them and see what is unchanged about the way I think and also how my views on some things are very different. Seeing your own growth and transformation is like an artistic process. I enjoy documenting the various stages of a piece of art that I am working on, photographing it in the line drawing phase, and then a few times during the painting phase. I've done seemingly a lot of looking back at old photos and memories lately. It makes me feel good about where I am and how far I've come, though I continue to strive for progress always. I just don't think that I am the type of person to ever decide, 'Ok, I've done enough. I can chillax now.' Yeah, thats just not gonna happen, like ever. But thats good! Its what you call drive.

Anyway, I plan to photograph and post some new art on the site soon as I get a chance. The look of the site will also be revamped whenever I wrap my head around where I want to go with it. It will prob always be a very basic, simple, clean looking page however, considering that I do it all myself in html. Less is more, no?

I've chosen which pieces I'm going to show at the Beauty Sweet 16 party the last Saturday this month. Now I just have to frame it, and thats the easy part for me. Choosing the work is always the hard part, but I am confident I picked works that have a cohesive theme. Also noteworthy that they are all new works so this will be the first time I am showing them.

Ah, and the most exciting thing that I can report is that Brent (Cedar Block) and I spoke last night to discuss several art event happenings. Lots of stuff in the works. We are both actively working hard on planning & lining up venues. Dates are yet to be firmed up. But its gonna happen. Oh yes. Its gonna happen. Stay tuned!!!
