I often stare off into the cosmos and wonder where it is that we are going as a race. The human race. The older I get I let go of the physical world. The physical world of possession and money. I find myself being pulled closer to the consciousness of my spirituality. I have been questioning everything. Why do we live the way we do? Why do we follow so much instead of lead? Is tradition really that important? Why do we suffer so and do so little to make change? Can we truly experience growth as a people when we will not live outside of our safety zones?
I am an artist. I live a simple life. I live for the experiences of creation and innovation. I have lost the luster for money and social status. I want to use myself to make change for a better humanity. I hope to do this in small and big ways. I want to excite, provoke, and stimulate people’s minds to search out their own feelings to find the real value of life. I am a vegetarian. I am very spiritual but not at all religious. I spend a good deal of time in solitude and meditation so that I can listen when there is something to be heard.

Tommy Watkins-
Artist Biography-
As a little boy growing up in Rochester, NY Tommy Watkins could often be found perfectly content with a crayon in hand, spending hours creating and drawing. As he grew and experienced the trials of adolescence, he found that the hobby he enjoyed as a child could now serve as an outlet for expressing the troubles and pain of coming of age. Now, as an adult, art has not only changed his life, but defines it.
Since arriving in the Capital District, Tommy has slowly transcended into a highly recognizable and respected artist. His style is distinct and his abstract modern paintings can be seen in several area businesses, with many more commissioned paintings created for individuals’ private art collections.
Beyond his talent as a painter, Tommy has intense passion for uniting local artists and has been working to build a dynamic and cultured art scene in upstate New York. This has culminated in a myriad of events and exhibits that have realized his vision. As a co-founder of The Albany Underground Artists and The Upstate Artists Guild, he has not only been part of a wonderfully supportive community of artists, but has also stepped out on his own in organizing events showcasing upstate artists. A memorable example of this was the community arts mansion show, the largest local art show that has taken place in the upstate area, attracting over 2000 attendees in March of ’05. In addition to his contribution to the fine arts community, Tommy has also taken a strong role in the local fashion scene, organizing and taking part in fashion shows that have created a forum for talented local designers, as well as the signature glam punk style of his own clothing line, Liability. In addition to this, Tommy is a writer for the popular Upstate magazine where he reports on up and coming artists..<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Kimle tanışmak isterim: Id like to meet an alien from outer space, but in reference to humans read the following. Anybody who is genuine or sincere and for the most part not totally mental. (its ok to be a little bit mental)I'm not on my space to find a date or hook up with anyone however I cant deny the fact that I have met and made some friends here. I'm pretty laid back but still ambitious and I appreciate the company of anyone like minded. I'm an artists who is eager to make a change for the better. I believe in artists and what we do. I have dedicated all my spare time to helping artists get their work shown, sold and promoted. I have been organizing art and fashion shows in the upstate for many years now. I feel most blessed to have shared these experiences with everyone and feel good about everything that has been accomplished up to this point. I will continue this mission as long as I still breath.

Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright."
“Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.” Lao Tzu quotes (Chinese taoist Philosopher)
This is the latest video from Michael and I. We put a lot of time and thought into it.
It is different then our last short film "split" which had a prominent purpose and direction for the viewer with dialogue and fitting video.
This one is more open to interpretation and can take the viewer where ever it is they want to go. Rather then having a poem for the audio, we chose piano. Its based somewhat around a dream sequence.
Dreaming is as important as air, food, and water. Without it we die.
I've always suffered from nightmares and night sweats. So I always try to remember and relive my dreams which are beautiful. My most beautiful ones are always based on swimming. I dream I am in a vast ocean swimming along side a school of fish. I feel safe. And I am warm. I tread within the water where everything seems to move in slow motion. where there are no worries of life in the real world. There is only one simple rule under the deep waters of the ocean: eat or be eaten.
In these dreams I'm always moving, I'm under the water floating. floating forward. floating backwards. floating upside down. And I'm weightless.
thank you for the add. it was very nice to meet you the other night at fuze. i do hope you consider showing off your latest collection at our monthly fashion event in poughkeepsie.
