My soul loves a good surprise. My life is a journey of my love. After college I abandoned illustration to wash dishes at a 5 star restaurant. (I was a poor salesman with a very refined palate) I made zines and hosted events to cure midwestern boredom. I fell in love. It didn't work out. I screamed in a metal band. Hiked across America. I shared paintings and photography to poetically share my transformations and journeys. I biked across the Himalayas and my heart broke for the worlds lack of vision and creativity in the margins. I now live in the middle of America where the concrete weeds are overgrown and still spreading. In the cracks there is new life and unexpected community. The greatest surprise so far was to find sustainability near desolation and creativity in emptiness. I can’t wait for a better world to crash into this one so I’m attempting to make the most of what is most proximate.

May…yay and the 816 wonderfuls

tuesday was a picnic on the pavement..friends and fabulous flavors..drums and dancing… parting party for leigh and the 816 yadies at the gallery.

working with iO this week.

kickball with my crust travelling friends and random broadway cafe community. 

first harvest at the bad seed was slow compared to last month.. but certainly good. david washington sat, turned and pondered one of the paintings for almost an hour.. finished friday devouring a breakfast sandwich covered with spicy gravy at YJs with aaron and seth.

saturday saunter at antioch park with turtles, ducks, and budding trees.. pingpong at the boiler finished with art and music and friends till the end.

crepe paradise on a lazy sunday morning. my favorite was bananas, yogurt, dark chocolate, and rum sauce!
