Cedartown High Weight Room
Nick Chubb wrote one of the most touching things I have read in a long, long time. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/nick-chubb-nfl-football-cleveland-browns In tribute to his statements, I made this. Use it for whatever you want, modify it however you want. As long as you don’t sell the stuff you use it for. If you are going to sell…

Nom nom nom
I am taking another watercolor class at the Canton Museum of Art, and in that class we painted an elephant with butterfly ears. The point of that class was to teach us how to use a grid when drawing. I haven’t used a grid for a drawing in quite a while, and it was interesting…

Taking Stock
I am laying awake in bed tonight – I’ve been laying here for two hours now. I want to sleep so I can start another day, but I don’t know that another day will make any difference. I feel grey tonight. I feel exhausted and a lot sad because I am not sure that I’m…

Depression: #1
I deal with chronic depression and anxiety. It’s a bitch. Recently, I decided I wanted to paint what I think it feels like. This is really hard to do, because depression feels different to me all the time. Sometimes, it feels like a wet slug on the back of my neck. Sometimes it feels like…

Poplars at An Imagined Stream: #1
I have long been inspired by seeing Van Gogh’s “The Poplars at Saint-Rémy.” When you see photos of this painting, it looks almost drab, and lifeless. I don’t know if the Cleveland Museum of Art recently had it restored, or if the photos just simply can’t do it justice, but the painting in real life…

The Tree You’re Looking For: #2
I decided that I’m sick of painting the same kind of thing over and over. Or rather, it’s not that I’m sick of it, it’s that I am stagnated because I’m always doing the same thing. So I decided to try something abstract. Ok – what a righteous failure. Yeah. It’s awful. it says nothing,…
