As a portrait artist I have come to realize the face is just a part of the body that we tend to focus on. The mind is part of that face. We see the world through our mind, it is only natural that it should be part of the face's physical appearance .

one minute drawing
I wouldn't really know if it is easy to do a drawing in one hour. I assume it is a matter of if the work feels like it is finished. I tend to need more time.
Non gallery shows
Finding places to show your paintings is a good thing. No matter where you so show make sure you let people know you are show there. It will bring the bar or shop more people who will spread the word your are showing there.
Journal
My art has always been a log of my life experience, a journal if you will. It has been fun keeping track of my life as a animal being that is fully engaged in the human experience no matter how crazy it seems. It is so exciting to try to live as a 3 party passenger to the human experience. Thus the journal can be more from a journalists point of view. The challenge comes when the human me does not know what to do when the animal me experiences a change to my predictable bubble pattern. I seem to respond with the animal self searching for protection and intuition as a guide to safety and acceptance of my new pattern of existence. Construction 6 , Graphite on rag paper, 8"x 10", 2004
Bubbles
The mind seems to build a bubble around everyday life. This bubble seems to offer the protection of predictability. This bubble seems to shrink with time in order to create patterns in behavior that make the everyday " more efficient ". Do I know this? Can I prove this? No, I can't. It just seems that is how my mind works. Blunt Sly, Acrylic on Skateboard, 2015
Plaid
The every day creates patterns that are easy to slip into. Maybe try remembering they are just patterns, and will at some point in time change. This might make it easier to accept the new pattern and the change in your life. A red and black pattern changing as you look at it.
Floating Monk 2
As to the Floating Monk, I truly believe he floated in the air forever because I saw it with my own eyes. And from the perspective of radioactive isotopes like Oxygen-12 and Boron-9, who have a half-life shorter then 10 −18 seconds, they have proof that the monk floats forever. That is a scientific fact.
