A month ago my wife decided to take the train home from the city and she was very surprised to see this birthday present still going strong. What a testament to the NJ graff scene. This was never a hot spot, but so lucky and happy to see something so positive get respected in this day and age. Either way, onto my point here…….
I have been spending alot of time looking back into my life as an artist over the last twenty years or so, and while i have some regrets, overall i’m proud of the work that I have done. Could I have worked harder? yes. Did I work harder than most? maybe not. Did I do my best? no way. Good thing is I’m through beating myself up. I spent most of the past twenty years a depressed, perfectionist mess. I wouldn’t attempt new things, or put too much effort in, I wouldn’t ask for help or look for collaboration. Most times I wouldn’t finish anything as I felt it wouldn’t end up perfect. These last few years developing a better relationship with my wife and my family and friends has helped a great deal in my artistic development by giving me support and confidence. Also I learned a little about mindfulness and that pays dividends.
Again I lost my point, haha. Ok what I wanted to do with this post was put up some really old stuff that I had found recently as I look back through all my art. so here goes. also check the media section for more old stuff. Thanks for coming! See you soon!
