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
It Only Takes One Shot
Golf isn’t my God-given gift, but I love to golf. I haven’t done it for a while, because I know my obsessive self. I know that if I get out there and hit just one good shot out of a thousand I’ll be golfing 36 holes a day, seven days a week, chasing after that… Continue reading It Only Takes One Shot
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!

Art… Continue reading Smalls

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

Last night the Ardest Gallery in the Woodlands, TX opened its most recent show titled “Art of the Future”. A good crowd turned out to see what juror and art historian Joseph Staley selected as the final selections among numerous applicants. And I was super pumped to have one of my pieces proudly hanging in… Continue reading “Art of the Future” at the Ardest Gallery
Embrace Rejection
“Without suffering there cannot be happiness.” — Thich Nhat Hanh If you don’t know what pain feels like, how can you possibly know pleasure? One is the absence of the other. You have to experience both to know the difference. And trust me, I am very learned in the world of suffering. I know failure.… Continue reading Embrace Rejection
The Anticipation!
Tis the season… for anticipation! Go back to your childhood… remember how excited you were in all the days leading up to opening presents on Christmas morning? That’s the peak dopamine hit right there. As a kid, surfing on that wave of anticipation was what Christmas was all about. Metaphorically, that’s how I feel right… Continue reading The Anticipation!
