I had just started painting again and all the years if holding back...holding it in, caught up with me. California was burning and the demons inside of me were smoldering too, waiting to get out.

Painted with HIMI gouache.

Lost in a crowd of one. The city crawls high. The sounds are intense. Lost in a crowd of just me.

Sketch of a painting I'm thinking about. I think as adults, we have our own ambitions about living on the moon. However, once we have children, we can only yearn to be able to live on the moon with them.

An idea I had, to couple semi-realistic versions of the adult Mario characters with the Street Fighter 3rd Strike character select screen.

We all see the world through a different lens. What I see, and express is different then what you will see. Your background is different. Your experiences are different. I know what I see. What about you?
