I have a passion for Illustration. Illustration is more than expression, it carries with it a responsibility, something that cannot be said for art in general. An illustrator has a responsibility is to communicate with his viewers. I love to draw, and I love to design and create, but without the central responsibility to convey an idea or a story, it feels a wasted effort. It is the active conversation between image and audience that attracts me to art and it is that exploration that drives all my work.
Busy Busy Busy.
I have been hard at work the last few months. Which is stressful sometimes, of course. But then I think about how much nicer it is than the alternative. And yes, I would much rather be worrying about how I'm going to find time to sleep than I worry about what the hell I'm supposed to do with my day, or if I'm wasting my life away sitting around the house.
So I have a job.
I sort of meant to make a post about this as an announcement, but the truth is that I've been so busy this week with the actual job, I've barely even set foot in my home office. I've left my computer off basically all this week. Very odd. I am, in fact, making this post at work, before anyone else shows up. Because I have rediscovered my ability to get up in the morning. :)
I've been making some updates to my site. (finally - it seems like I only get to this about once a year). Some new images in both color and black & white, some scattered other changes. What I'd really like is a much more major overhaul - ideally by way of installing gallery software on my site like what I have set up here on Dream Colony.
Around 2002, while doodling and thinking about tattoo designs for myself, I scribbled down a little character that I thought represented me at the time. He was a combination of two Native American characters with kind of a trickster edge to them: Kokopelli, the hunch-backed flute player, and Coyote.
