Over the last month I have been doing a lot of art festivals. And while it’s exhilarating and fun and exciting and uplifting (for the most part), it’s also a lot of work. I imagine the majority of people don’t realize the amount of work — the physical labor, the logistics, the stress — that… Continue reading Dream, Dream, Dream

There’s Still Hope
Friends, let’s have some real talk: I’m concerned about our youth. If I project the future based on my experiences with young people, I get overwhelmed with worry. A generation of helicopter parenting and babysitting screens has left kids untested and unprepared to deal with the harsh reality of LIFE. Life is hard. To be… Continue reading There’s Still Hope
Bold Journey
Bold Journey did a Jeff Lung Art interview. Hot dog! Looks pretty dope! Omergerd… I am pretty sure they interview just about any one… but still. It looks cool. And remember, I’m all about: does it look cool? Check it out!
Smalls
In the vast realm of art, where grandeur often takes center stage, there’s a quiet yet significant allure in smaller, more affordable pieces. These petite treasures hold immense importance for artists and collectors alike and I can attest that having one from your favorite creator is a great entry point into the art world. Art… Continue reading Smalls
The Work Is For Me
If you like it — if ANYONE likes it and WANTS it — and CARES enough to offer funds in order to INVITE it into his/her home… then that’s gravy, baby. That’s just gravy. You see, if I’m not paying attention, I find myself being led towards audience capture. I find myself making things that… Continue reading The Work Is For Me

Strength In Story
The more I wade through the waters of the artworld, the more I understand how important story is. As human beings, we connect with story. It’s tangible, universal. It is something that stays with us and gets passed on to others. Before writing was developed, everything was communicated through story, handed down generation after generation.… Continue reading Strength In Story
Neurographic Art
This coming Saturday, July 29, I’m teaching a fun “Doodles and Donuts” workshop at the Ardest Gallery in the Woodlands. The topic we will be creating around is neurographic art. For some, the term neurographic art is just a fancy way of saying “doodling”, or free form stream-of-consciousness drawing. But for me the specific term… Continue reading Neurographic Art
Nature Is My Reset
You’ve been there. We all have. Stuck on a problem. Can’t make something work. Frustrated beyond belief. Instead of banging your head against the wall hoping things will change, be kind to yourself. Take a step outside into nature. Allow your mind to reset. I once read that Albert Einstein was a habitual walker and… Continue reading Nature Is My Reset
When the Viewer Informs You of What You Were Thinking
Last night was the soft opening of the Ardest Gallery’s new location in the Woodlands and my oh my was it a hit! The artists represented are extremely talented. The vibe was fun and exciting. The turnout was great. And in the midst of it all, I learned something new about myself and my work.… Continue reading When the Viewer Informs You of What You Were Thinking
