A series of not so serious and unrelated events happen simultaneously….I know its happened to yall before…

Yup I’m in that right now. What an unfortunately fortunate occurrence that comes to me at some point every year. See the fortunate part for me is that my bad days come in groups and often end with something AMAZING. I sit here losing my mind …..literally….yet I know that when this shitstorm decides to clear something phenomenal is there waiting for me.

Despite how I feel while going through something I get through it knowing that its a temporary obstacle in front of a permanent blessing..

Works everytime. Break-down to break-through.

It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time It’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time am I ready for what’s next? Damn right.

Be inspired. Be confident in your ability to do great things so when your time comes, you’ll be the best you can be.

In 2011 I learned to loosen up and become more of an open book. LOL annoying some with Facebook statuses, posting the good, the bad, and the ugly at times… on here as well. I’ve come to a point where I’ve learned to embrace the vulnerability that comes with showing what you think and how you really feel. I needed to tap into that part of who I am in order to push myself artistically. I have to use that same vulnerability and put it into my work. How can you be connected to a piece that I held back my own connection to? When you view a work of art you are taking a glimpse at who the artist is, specifically how they think and feel. I’ve always had a strong attachment to my work driving myself nuts to get it right however there are only a few pieces that I’ve allowed to capture more than just my attention to detail or technique. The emotion behind some of my work has been more about how hard I worked on it and not about the subject. So… I’m typing this to say I’m evolving. Like every other artist I know there comes a time when you have to move forward, step your game up, and PUSH YOURSELF HARDER. I know I’m good from a technical standpoint but how much better can I be at visually expressing specific emotions through art and getting you to feel it? What is the real statement that will be made in future pieces? How deeply connected can i allow myself to be with the subject? Most of all, how far out of my comfort zone do I have to go before I can’t tell the difference anymore?

…2012 will be a year of growth and expansion just like last year. I can’t wait to see how I evolve over the next 365 days.

What’s up people….here we go again. The year is almost over and as I reflect on the last 300 som’n days I see a lot of progress that has been made. I fell off a little bit and allowed myself to be blinded by some things that weren’t as they appeared to be however I still moved ahead and and in spite of those things I’ve managed to have my most successful year ever. I have no regrets at all!

Next year ill continue down this same road to the land of awesome just as I have been only my focus and my drive will be even more intense. I WILL GET WHAT I WANT…PERIOD.

No this ain’t some silly new years resolution its a declaration of that which is already mine. I set a goal a long time ago and I’m well on my way to reaching it. Its not a dream anymore its become very real….so I’ve decided to clear the smoke and smash the mirrors. I’m looking ahead with my third eye and the vision is more clear than ever before. Big things for 2012….

Aight party people I’ve abused social media enough perhaps I should start taking this blog thing seriously. So here goes…

I’m an artist… I express myself. Its that simple. I think, I talk, I draw, I paint. Hows that for a reintroduction?

Visit www.rochesterfineart.com for all the boring stuff like artwork and events. Ill do some more posting later with lots of long words and overextended sentences cuz I just know that’s what you’re on here for….

Til next time.
