carrying symbols
this week we have been flooded with a sea of red, in support of equality, freedom, and rights bestowed to man on this earth. i am happy to see such an outpouring of love and support to my fellow man. i feel it is only by and through love that we can conquer any hate or fear, and that we can see one another as our loving God sees each of us.

the kids are writing on the walls
i noticed the anxiety i felt within myself as i watched NEXT: a primer on urban painting a documentary movie currently on Netflix about the movement and art form of urban art (here’s the trailer). the art moves me, it speaks to me. there is genius by many artists, on the walls, all over the world. i am blown away at the creative solutions and ways that some of the artists are...

a five year old metaphor

“metaphor is the lifeblood of all art.” “everything you create is a representation of something else; in this sense, everything you create is...

the modern frankenstein
a question to pose… why do we limit ourselves, the science and progress and evolution of man? what are we afraid of? what are we threatened by? what are we trying to hold to? how is it unethical to modify the body? just as the “machine” of the bicycle has had it’s significant modifications, progress, and evolution - from heavy clunky steel to fast sleek sexy and feather...

come together and take action
when i was 16 yrs old, i remember staring at a wall of funeral flowers, with anger and tears in my eyes i said “this is so stupid”, and my cousin Daran, put his loving arms around me and said “no it’s not”. and he was right. shortly afterwards i walked outside the funeral home and saw cars moving up and down the busy street. standing there with numb legs and soul, i...

"what if" is now.
