6th street, located just off Market, crawls with meandering hobos and sleazy drug dealers. Energy buzzes like a misguided bee hive. Skirmishes outbreak like an inner city epidemic and the corner thrives with business. An old building, slightly dilapidated and surrounded by stagnant puddles, stands firm along a moist alley. A series of colorful rectangle […]
February flipped into the breeze like a napkin blown off a roadside table. Kisses were planted softly on warm cheeks and hands met during long sunset walks. Rhymes scribbled on nameless pages sat snug under wipers and whispers tickled the unexpected ear. Lazy mornings often became mid day snuggles and late night snapshots now dangle […]

The act of creating produces a finished project, which describes one’s thoughts at that moment. Projects strung together begin to develop a story and eventually result in the documentation of one’s life. Like words on paper, thoughts can be recorded in many ways.

Mr. Happy by Jew Jew Bean 2008 Remember when the cartoons that we watched on television each Saturday morning were hand drawn, or at least flat digital animations that seemed hand drawn. Remember when Commander Mark of the Drawing Squad was your idol, not Pixar. Each Saturday morning will now be dedicated to hand drawn […]
Many projects are thwarted by the lack of ideas. Buckets of paint remain stagnant and brushes dry. Canvases lay white and fingernails clean. A creative block can hit like an unexpected quake. The foundation in which you base your thoughts can crumble. What was once stable, can be leveled by the lack of ideas. When […]
I return to the ARTpartment after a long day of colors, shapes and repetition. The door swings open and reveals Edie in a robe dabbing makeup in front of a vertical mirror. “Oh Andy”, she calls out as I waltz into the room. She wraps her warm arms around my neck and squeezes as if […]
