There’s something missing
This isn’t right
Something feels off
I need to fix this
Common thoughts
Annoying, yes.
But it’s missing pieces
That fuel my ambition
To move forward
I created this piece of art as a tribute to one of my favorite comedians, and host of two of my favorite shows, "The Colbert Report" and "Late Night with Stephen Colbert."

My birthday is over
My special day
Passed
Signed off
And filed in a drawer
With the others
Lying on the beach
Under the sun
Breathing
Feeling
I keep catching myself thinking
I want nothing wrong
I want days with smooth edges
And no complications
Life is smart
It beats me up just enough
To expose what’s under my skin
So I can see better
Most of our lives are spent in the moments
Between the moments
The large swaths of time
Sandwiched between memories
Have you ever believed something
That turned out wasn’t true?
Belief is malleable
Fallable
I don’t know what to say
Sometimes I feel so much
It’s overwhelming
And inspiring
Time has a way of traveling
Downhill
And uphill
At the same time
It’s a trickster
I gotta go back
Back before I wasn’t sure
Before disappointment got me down
Back before I had questions
And got all confused
I'm working on my new solo show opening in a few weeks. Funny how I think I can have an idea, but the art has a mind of its own. It's part of what I love about being an artist.

I took an extra day in Big Sur as I'm gearing up for my upcoming solo show at Gallery 825 in Los Angeles. Articulating artwork for context is not a particularly easy task, but a necessary part of the process.

I thought I’d go numb. Like I usually do. Chalk it all up to present day “reality” and soldier on. But today I can’t do that. I’m feeling it. All of it.

Art is as much about what is left out as much what's put in. I took a quick work trip and had some time to think about context.

I wrote this prose as a companion to a new series I'm working on called I Got This. I'm also modifying the text as a lyric to a new song. The visual body of work was originally inspired by my book Art. Now. More Than Ever. which I'm just putting the finishing touches on.

Keyboards and computers have their place, but for certain things, the energy of a pen and paper can't be replaced. I recently returned to writing in a journal by hand to connect my thoughts. It's been yielding great results in my art.

Final install day at the Griffin Club in Los Angeles. 4 of my art pieces have a new home. Even though it inspires me to make more and try to outdo myself, I still find it difficult to say goodbye sometimes.

This is the last video in my Road to Basel series which documents my preparation for, and showing in Basel Switzerland during Art Basel.
We took a couple days to relax before heading home. I had a great trip, but riding this luge down Mount Pilatus was definitely one of the high points. SO FUN!!!!
