Tonight my mom confronted me and asked me if I was planning on moving out and moving in with Katie. I can’t get anything past my mother. She always knows. Its freaky.
But I was a little shocked by how well she took the news. But I could tell that part of her wanted to [...]

Man, I spend a lot of time on the internet. I should have known to do just a LITTLE BIT of searching before I made that request. Within two minutes I had found a wikipedia page on Joyland which had excellent information and included a link to a site called Remember Joyland which had all sorts of [...]

The only problem is that these clowns are SUPPOSE to look scary. And I guess they are. I would certainly shit twice and die if I found this in my closet, [...]

MOM… I’M MOVING OUT
Posted in Uncategorized on April 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I must admit that I’m a little hesitant to inform my mother that I’m FINALLY moving out of the house. Mostly because I’m dreading the lecture that will surely follow the announcement. She will be reluctantly supportive but she will let me know that I’m making a horrible mistake. She will tell me I’m a [...]

this one came to me at hobby lobby. it was born out of frustration as well. frustration which stems from having to share one location with hundreds of non-artists, dabblers, crabs, crabby dabblers and red hat society members looking for red hat ephemera to jam up their yard, post on their doors, adhere to their windshields.

ART SCHOOL
Posted in Uncategorized on April 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »
In my experience there are generally two types of art instructors, the failed artist and the indifferent graduate student.
The failed artist teaches because the job provides financial security, health insurance, a retirement plan and a studio space and/or access to materials and supplies. They might be incredibly talented artists but they failed at turning [...]

I’ve been preoccupied with freelance work and I haven’t had much time for my “ART.”
But I have some ideas brewing.
Until then, here are some old paintings that I recently photographed.
Here they are.
Hopefully I’ll make more paintings soon.

Concerning range vs. accuracy:
“Studies have shown that given the trauma of battle, the closer a human is to a zombie, the wilder his shooting will be. When practicing with your firearm(s), establish a maximum range for repeated accuracy. Practice against moving targets in ideal (stress-free) conditions. Once that range is fixed, divide it by half.
