My life is consumed by art these days. I've edited my days down to the bare necessities and things are great. Art, food, sex, love, yoga. The order depends on the day . There's no drama or strife, hardly any worry and if I do begin to worry the answers are right in front of me. I still spend far too much time thinking, but that's okay for now.

I just watched Beautiful Losers and Exit Through The Gift Shop this week and they put a refreshing spin on my art-making. Perhaps that is why things seem so simple and playful. I would highly recommend watching them, especially if you are an artist. Beautiful Losers was like hitting the reset button on my artistic brain. I stopped thinking myself into paralyses and started playing more. Exit... was ridiculous and funny. I thought it was the perfect example of Malcolm Gladwell's theories in action.

This summer is quite busy for me. I've got a big show in June that I went and committed myself to making 15 pieces for. That seems to be how I get productive, by making big promises. There are actually so many prospects right now that it's a bit dizzying. I'm trying to enter my work into local juried competitions and there are a few new galleries/spaces that want to show my work.

Here's a reference photo for a new drawing that I'm working on. I never use myself but I couldn't find a magazine photo that I liked. I actually photoshopped my head into this because I like the pose but not my expression.
