Move on

You crave it, fear it, wish for the best and then take a huge leap. You finally arrive and for a while it's absolute bliss. Before you realize it, it's lost it's luster and your cravings have changed. You've changed.

Or it simply wasn't what you imagined.

It's okay. Make new plans. Get excited! Alter your course and keep on living.

Survivor

Life keeps punching you in the face and pushing you over like some kinda asshole. But being the badass you are, you don't just get back up. You spit in life's stupid face! You got this shit on lock and the moxie to prove it.

For the Girls vs. Boys show at Bear & Bird Gallery! Paintings available here.

Dreamer

Looking far and wide, searching for hope when only darkness sheathes you.

For the Banana Split Ladies show at Leanna Lin's Wonderland. Paintings can be snagged here and the show is up until April 28th!

You don't own me

If you ever meet me and ask me what my paintings mean i will silently pause. I will studder and babble. I have a hard time articulating art into speech.

Turning the impossible into images? Great! Articulating things into written words? Sure!

So if you ask i will most likely say: "It's up to interpretation. No answer is wrong." But never doubt that I have good intentions. Art about struggle and triumph. About self empowerment and bringing our dreams into reality.

If there is something you've been putting off until the "right time" let me tell you something. There is no perfect time and you can always find an excuse. Start now, work hard, and your dreams will happen sooner.

We're all just figuring it out and making it up as we go along. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. xo

First Love

Watching cartoons was a huge part of my childhood. Sitting in front of the television with my brother watching flashing colors in awe while devouring technicolor cereals. I was and am equally amazed by a great cartoon or a fine art painting. Whatever fine art really means these days.

I'm really esctatic and greatful to be a part of Moon Power, a Sailor Moon art zine! A lot of talented folks were asked to take part in it. So here's my submission!

Cheers to our current selves and childhood selves being excited and mega proud! xo

The static in front of your dreams

Your mood can quickly turn sour when you expect things to happen much quicker than they actually can. Take the time to dream up where you want to be in one, two, or five years.

What do you have to do to get there? Write that down. Have you been working on those things? If not, you'd better get going. The time you take to make excuses is time you could be getting shit done.

Go! Eventually you'll feel better.
