Me, and and my tenuous relationship with sanity.

by be-forbes | Jan 30, 2017 | "The Successful Return", My Art Experiences

Well, this morning I did something I’ve done my whole career and plum forgot about it. It was always a, I don’t know, salubrious occasion. I did my final “punch list,” a detailed list of details; clipping tags as a tailor would say, or a final...

Metaphors. A Way Of Talking About Reality Without Talking About Reality!

It’s now (metaphorically written) February, 12th in the painting process of this original. Meaning, it’s (metaphorically written) dreary outside; it’s freezing cold, there are ice storms, daylight is short, nothing’s growing, and I’m...
