Sell Out

0 min read
Money, power, love, respect. We're all looking to fill voids, and our culture tells us that these things work best. We're taught to engage in retail therapy, taught to seek our one true love. but are these things really fulfilling? We work a job for money, not for passion. We find a partner for security, not for connection. Or maybe this is just me. I've been caught up in the grind of life lately, and I've failed to pursue my creative interests. This has to change. I've decided to sell some of my work as a way to subsidize the expensive materials I use, and to challenge myself to keep producing. 10,000 hours, right? Would you buy this? htt

Happy New Year!!! Wish you the best in 2015!!
Happy New Year to you too! All the best in the coming year.
I see you've taken up modeling instead of art making. What's up with that? Not that I'm complaining...
ahh! Every time! I'm thinking, "who is this??"

Anyways. A guy's gotta pay the bills somehow. Right?
Haha, it's fun throwing you for a loop. Yes, unless you want to be a hermit living in a swamp...
I swear I'm art making still! working on another Gandalf costume... These commissions never end (but they do keep me out of the swamps). What art are you making?

You sir are a wonderfully wicked man. I am starting on an Altair outfit, and I just saw your pieces, you have set the bar too high...Way too high. It looks great, and I can't wait until you finish and post your final product!
