“They Say Your Brain is a Comic Book Tattoo”

I can finally share one of the many things that I am working on. I’m part of a core team that is growing a figurative arts blog along side an internet television show focused on teaching and sharing in the joys of the nude body and figurative arts in general. I’ll be posting regularly over [...]

The Ship Has Landed

Warning: This is another boring life post. There will be compelling non “me-focused” posts in the near future. I drove up to New York yesterday. My car was loaded to the hilt, all my audio and video equipment, computers and two very grumpy and meowing cats. The drive from Virginia took almost six hours. I [...]

“This was no accident. This was a therapeutic chain of events”

It is done. I have closed out the last day at my job. It was a mix of emotions, but it still hasn’t hit me that I’m moving on. Surely this weekend as I am sitting in traffic on the Jersey Turnpike it’ll hit me. When I arrived to work there really wasn’t much for [...]

One More Day Left

Well, as it turns out, it actually took me less than 48 days to get to New York. Today is my last day at the corporate job and I’m a bit surprised at myself. When I went to up to New York to interview, my father actually expressed amazement that I landed interview after interview. [...]

In the Springtime of my Voodoo

Standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona and I’m quite sure I’m in the wrong song. Yeah, Tori. I know how you feel. It seems whenever life gets a little weighty, my Tori Amos playlist goes into heavy rotation. She’s my audio equivalent of comfort food and at my rate of consumption I’ll be a [...]

The Facade Lasted One Day

Apologies for the over abundance of “life update” type posts. Seeing as I’m in a transitional flux, so much is going on. I promise, I’ll get back to regular posts about creative projects soon enough. My day job came down hard on me today after yesterdays story-book like response to my resignation. Now, everything is [...]

I Quit!

This morning my life was a detached blur. I awoke to sunlight peeking through the window of my soon-not-to-be condo. The clock was wrong (it blinked 10:17), but I guessed it to be somewhere around 6 am. My jaw hurt. All these years of being an utterly neurotic and insecure corporate worker-bee has rendered my [...]

Get the Balance Right!

I would categorize my 4th of July weekend as the “calm before the storm.” Originally, I was going to quit my job before I traveled to New York to begin interviewing. Instead, I ultimately rationalized that I should wait until I had an opportunity locked in. Now that I have everything in order, I’ve still [...]
