New Year Same Shit

Happy 2022 to everyone out there. I’m not big on doing big end of year wrap-ups or hyping up resolutions. I will say I pulled my back at the beginning of November and have just now gotten back to pretty regular programming. This is the longest recovery Ive experienced and, I can’t lie, it scared me a little. Luckily after x-rays and physical therapy, turns out I’m completely fine. They got me on a schedule of stretching and core workouts which if I want to continue painting murals I’m gonna have to stick to, so yeah, there’s a resolution.

The positive aspect of the injury is that I got to spend a lot of time at the house slowing down and working on sketches and canvases for the first time in a long time. I learned to use the same approach I’ve created for letters the past couple of years to create some abstract pieces which recently seem to be evolving into what feels like some kind of futuristic modern architecture. I really don’t know exactly what they’ll become, which is nice. I’ve always had a hard time staying on one subject so it’s nice to feel like my work since the beginning of spring 2020 has been one evolving piece, and its exciting to think that now that the constraints of letters have shed themselves that the basic structure and physics that remain will grow into something new altogether. Anyway hope everyones year is better than the last. Lets all try and stay positive and support one another.

Now that that’s out the way, I can get to the real news. On our xmas tourist vacation to NYC where we narrowly escaped the cold grip of omicron I asked Kathryn Crawford to marry me. She said “are you kidding me?” followed eventually by “YES!”. If you’re not alreadyfamiliar with her, she is a really impressive artist and more driven than me and I couldn’t be more excited than to spend the rest of my life traveling and painting walls with her.

I’m traveling to LA for the first time in a week to see how many omicrons I can collect so more to come soon. Thanks to everyone for the continued support. Peace.
