mail is wonderful

i received this in my po box today. i probably have the best friend of best friends (sorry best friends, she's pretty awesome).

so i decided to make this to share with you, and others, and your friends:

and this is for my dad... he turned 61 this week. holy shit.

and here is some artmail that i'm sending out today.

i know, it's been a long time, and i haven't shared much of what i've been working on with you. mainly because i haven't been working on anything. between Seattle, moving, and LA, everything has been a whirl wind. oh, and i was sick. twice. so i'm finally settling into my new home, and my new studio - which is heaven on earth, its' true.

greg gifted me with a printer/scanner, so i no longer have to run around trying to find an unused one.

upcoming things (that you should probably know about):

artshow:

this fall (stay tuned)

artmail:

it's going to have a real operating, functioning system,

so we can get the whole world on board.

listening to Mumford & Sons.... because they're beautiful, with beautiful souls, i'm sure.

anemones

seattle has been wonderful.

i'm slowly, but surely, falling in love with the city. and slowly warming up to the idea of moving here one day (the mountains/ocean combination definitely helps). being close to my family is becoming more and more of a priority, especially when i see what i've missed out on being far.

new york is currently the top choice (i think), but seattle will be well-visited until (if) moving here is a real option.

what's more wonderful is that i have film from all of this - video and 35mm (!)

so, prepare yourselves, i'll develop that film as soon as i have a chance

and i will soon have a wonderfully, beautifully, large studio to work in...

love,

p.s. today i touched a sea anemone.

p.p.s. we also found a jelly fish!

p.p.p.s. grey's anatomy. the season begins. boom. that's all.

for two years i have been waiting, and it's finally here. the corner is being turned and i am diving head first into being what i am created to be: an artist.

fortunately for me (and my scattered-uncommitted life) the term artist is a giant umbrella that embodies limitless possibility. and being limited is exactly what i'm walking away from.

there are so many great things in store for this season of life. i can't wait to share them with you and i invite you to be a part of the process - your thoughts, critiques & ideas are welcomed and appreciated.

in the mean time here are some tunes to explore & be a part of (even if it's a small part):

"The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire

"Telekinesis!" by Telekinesis (who i discovered by way of Logan Potts - by way of NPR)

speaking of NPR... NPR Music is one of the greatest inventions of all time

Thanks to them we can listen to full albums before they're released. Like Ra Ra Riot's new album "The Orchard"

keep your eyes peeled, there are many great things coming.

so much love & appreciation.
