Does the child within us actually ever really grow up? These are my drawings in response to the cards in my Inner Child Artist deck.

Art therapy is the shit, (if anything is at this point…)
The practice sketches I was working on when my dad died. I decided to finish the artwork, rather than toss it. On the evening of my dad’s death, I was drawing. I was practicing facial expressions, like I do every night, and I usually throw them away, but this night was different. What I drewContinueContinue reading “Art therapy is the shit, (if anything is at this point…)”
At a complete loss; a total eclipse of the heart…

“Baby, you’ve been prolific!”
“Even when you’re not working, you’re working.” Although I always try to see the good in other people, sometimes it is necessary to defend yourself with truth. The proof is always in the pudding. According to one person, (whom shall remain unnamed and unseen): “Since when do you work?! You’ve been busy sitting around andContinueContinue reading ““Baby, you’ve been prolific!””

Commissioned Worker, I am…
