To Feel or Not To Feel; My Question for My Life Today

Wow, guys, I apologize for this hiatus, first and foremost. The holidays came bounding through, craziness ensued while my wallet was bled dry, then the passing of my dear cousin, Deborah Davis hit my family pretty hard right after the beginning of the year. My family is also in the process of looking for another place to make a home, which is both challenging and a bit stressful.

   That of course, leads me to the art I have been gravitating to making lately. I have been in a bit of a dismal rut as of late, my heart and head have been a bit overwhelmed. I have definitely felt my feelings bleeding into any art I have been making or even viewing. My two latest drawings were like extensions of my soul, things and feelings I would not articulate, but could communicate on a piece of bristol or sketch paper. It’s not that I want to fit into the latest trend that seems to be overtaking the young world of late, the whole, ‘it’s cool to be sad or depressed’, it’s just that I have had a few sad moments in the past couple of months. With that being said, I only hope that when people view my latest works, they are able to feel what I was feeling at that time. Everyone goes through rough spots and sad times, this I know. It is to be human to feel these things. I am now however, trying to teach myself to use these times constructively, to create something beautiful from such times as these. Hopefully, through my art, I will be able to work through this time, and share with your guys all the ups and downs along the way. Keep my family and I in your thoughts.

Until next time, America..
