I’ve had many people, friends, brand followers and otherwise, ask me for advice or help regarding some of the sensitive issues I’ve dealt with in my past, usually ranging between depression, schizophrenia, alcoholism, suicide and being a young father. It’s difficult to dedicate enough time to these types of requests because sometimes it’s through text [...]
I bought an easel 2 days ago to support my newly discovered escape through painting. It’s a standard, low cost easel that’ll do the trick but doesn’t have the finished luster of some of the more ‘professional’ grade offerings at Deserres Art Store. When I received the easel it came unbuilt; a few wooden stands, [...]

This is my first chance to look at the BTKDP event from a step back and really get a sense of the people in the space and the vibe of the evening. This is all really surreal to me still.. I’m very grateful for everyone who was present at my first solo exhibit to show [...]
It’s 12:57pm on Monday and I’m still in bed. I still can’t fully register what happened last Friday the 13th at my first solo art exhibit. My vision was limited to the people stopping me for a hello and handshake and my mind was racing with feelings of gratitude so much so that I never [...]
So, my first solo art show is only a few days away and you’re not quite sure what to expect, how to act, what to wear or what exactly #BTKDP means. Have no fear, I’ve put together 10 things you need to know to prepare yourself for the best Friday the 13th of your whole [...]
My first solo art show is in less than 4 weeks. The artwork isn’t totally ready. The components aren’t all set to go. And I’m not as uneasy about it as I think I should be. I realize that I’ve bitten off more than I could imagine anyone with a mouth smaller than Steven Tyler’s, [...]
