Got back last week from shooting a Walls festival in Honolulu.... it was good to be back home for a bit.

The post-festival crash mixed with homesickness for the island once I got back to CA was bad though 😭

I definitely miss it there, but it was great being back and seeing everyone. The festival was so good, over 40 murals went up across...

I'm stoked that this summer of record heat, weeks of 105-110 or higher temps are over...

But that also means the slow, cold, and dark weeks are getting closer.

Trying to build up better habits now before those days get here...

-Stepping up workouts again

-Doing larger creative works, whether it's painting or charcoal, sculptural experiments or more involved digital work

-Getting some consistency rather...

Life comes at ya fast πŸ˜…

Every few days or weeks I think "I should update <social media profile>"
But then there's so much to update... and I put it off
.......and then there's even more to update.

Been thru a winter in NorCal... missing the island bad πŸ˜–but learning to love some things.

I've gotten some opportunities to travel out east again, down south...

Hesitant to say it, but it looks like things are stabilizing. Still got classes to finish up, some parts of the move to handle, but the worst is over I think. I'll miss Hawaii, but I'm excited for new things. I'll be in California for the next stage things, no idea how it's gonna go or what's gonna happen.... but should be fun.

I'm stoked...

That job change is also looking like it'll have me moving to California so that's gonna be new, I've been happy and lucky in Hawaii since 2017 now and while I like change, I'm reluctant to leave my happy place...

Realized I haven't updated my profile pic in years... I made the old one inspired by Aisling from "Secret of Kells" when I had shoulder-length hair and 5 o'clock shadow to trimmed beard at most... Now I have more of a mohawk and way more beard so it was time for a change πŸ˜…

New one was made more inspired by art of a different...

I've been really lucky. I don't post here often, but I've been living out on Oahu the last like 5 years. It's been wonderful, it's beautiful and I get to spend so much time hiking, or out in the water, or just looking at everything. It's informed my art, it's given me opportunity to work on my photography with amazing material, learn from incredible people,...

Between the quarantines, workplaces being lovely as always, actually catching covid.... time slips away sometimes. A lot has happened even though at times it's felt like this last couple years has just been some purgatory. I'm back in classes, I've picked up so many old hobbies (skateboard and roller skating, painting and craft) and some new ones (mostly VR and VR accessories), finally upgraded my...
