The last few years have been trying, especially these last almost two years. Eye opening and clarifying on how I view our society and some personal relationships. Its sick how much we hold each other back and how it's the ones you love will be the ones who let you down in critical times. Yet they show right back up like nothing happened demanding more and trying to keep you in a box.
Especially in my experience being an artist/illustrator/storyteller. Count your blessings if your family has your best interest. If they don't , keep moving and hold your own. Some wise folks years ago told me to go my own way after art school, at the time it only worked for me to go back home and do the "right" thing. That next few taught me that it's the ones you love who hurt you most. Do not underestimate the pettiness and bitterness that people hold in there heart. They will try to take away your hear and soul.
Luckily I have been able to hold my own and these last couple years have just dropped the load of giving a shit about what those who claim to love me expect. I should have done this years ago in hindsight. I think I am wiser and certainly able to handle my own. Pushing myself into my art and making what I can and want of life. Here is some recent works. Planning to make more regular updates.
