i produce oil pastel drawings and wood and object pieces of which i either screenprint or paint on. my art themes revolve around spatial relation of pieces, color, and the objects i vision on them . the wooden pieces i make are more abstract, where as the pastels are a showcase of my love for symbols and memories. if i were to do only one medium of art, i would go insane. perhaps you know someone that has some worn wood sitting around...I NEED IT! running out of wood drives me crazy! help an art brother out! and if you are a loser who has nothing to do other than sit around and complain about my art, get a life.

Um, wazzup little bro? Okay, so get this: I was thinking of this GREAT idea for a movie....but all I can put into words is "flashlight with no batteries" and "half-eaten bag of stale marshmallows". I think it might just end up reviving the Fluxist movement - whaddaya think?

Happy Birthday. For your b-day I was gonna give you a ridiculous amount of money for FERDINAND THE LIAR, but, oh wait-- you went and sold it. Why did you do that? That was stupid. I am mad. In fact, I hate you.
This 1930 Model A was my very 1st car. My Grandpa, Mom & Dad scraped together $75.00 to buy it for me on my Sweet 16 Birthday in 1950. Oh boy, do I wish I still had “her” today.
Perhaps one day, I can make your 1st car or dream transportation “move in wood.” Please don’t hesitate to inquire and send me photos of “your baby.”
Thank you for your friendship and supporting my ART.
