I don't have any words for the rest of this. so.


Here goes an opening of dreams....






there are a million people not pictured. And, I am so sorry about that. but 

I am so thankful for these pictures by Becca Hankins and Melissa Bruster. Without them I would have nothing. I never once picked up my camera. I just talked to everyone. And I am mostly glad I did that.
I soaked it all up.  So, thank you Becca and Lissa. xo.

Be careful if you let me into your house.

And especially if I have one of these.

and one of these.

Drawing on a wall or ceiling or floor is a lot like cliff jumping. You sort of can't believe someone told you to do it, or let you do it.

But you said you'd do it. and now you are up there. so you have to jump.

Because it would be so lame to half-amaze.

or half-attempt to amaze. 

I COMMIT OFTEN TO PROJECTS THAT SCARE ME A LITTLE. 

things should scare you a healthy amount. 

or else. things stay lame. 

and you never get that filled-up-celebratory-exhausted feeling. 

theres also some pressure when you paint on houses. or ON theaters. 

like HERE and then also here

I figure that I like pressure. or really, I am propelled by it.

And to be honest. I am in love with drawing.
