After rejections from various art opportunities (solo and group shows, art book fairs, grants), I've started withdrawing more from the art world. I am fine at 39 knowing if my greatest successes have already happened, but it is painful to sense so much indifference in all the places I apply myself.

Starting this blog is a place I can hold some of my words: different but in some ways correlating with my art. If you, Reader, got this far I'm thankful for your interest. I may be a case study in perseverance, failure, or irrelevant grandiosity. With enough time, any and all of these qualities are applicable.
