I've been learning how to write so that I can tell stories with my art. I talked recently about being pretty lonely with my art. I think my art was missing a crucial component to connect with people and that is narrative. You don't need narrative for art, but for my art I think it's vital. I...

Had some fun on my lunch break

Figured I'd work on some good confidence builders as I'm getting back into art again after a very long and drawn out moving process between houses. I like these organic subject matters when I'm getting back to it because if I make a mistake, no one will know. Who's to say that three trunk...
