“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sometimes those moments result in something grand, or something that lets you grow as an artist... other times its a dud...
Tonight I had such a moment...
I have been working with ink splatters and inspiration struck... I was totally into the moment... and when I go
October Series
Well - today, besides being a great holiday, marks the accomplishment of a strange and spontaneous goal I set for myself.
I don't normally use a lot of dialogue with my art, I find that I enjoy letting the viewer decide what my pieces mean to them, take what they will from it, let the work speak for itself, rather than telling the viewer what it is that I am trying to express. Sometimes people get on to me for this practice, but it is my way, I'm usually just not one for words, but today is different, and if you are reading this, I hope you find my uncharacteristic wordiness worth while.
On October 1st of this year I drew a little Jack O' L
