I have more art ideas than a freshman art student off his A.D.D medication. An idea has to come back around two or three times before Shannon will give it any validity. Something that keeps coming up, several times in the last five years, is making boxes.I am back on the box kick and ideas are flowing.

I made a glass ring.

I am working on a collabrative project with a filmaker using photography to recreate historic events. This image is my attempt at making a study for a civil war photo. The neighbors must think I am crazy because I kept flinging myself on the ground. Shannon's only comment was "you dont look dead".

I try to get into my studio everyday,even if it is only for a moment, preferably longer, but it is not always easy.

Sometimes I wish I could be in a collaborative art group rather than just making my own work. I think the work would go further that way. Like being in a rock band where four or five guys work up ideas together. I could be the builder of the group, we would need and ideas person and perhaps an illustrator, and then definitely a manager who could go out and get us some gigs. That would take a lot of the pressure off my shoulders and produce better work.
