United States of Anxiety.

Hey America, I know shit's bad right now.

Oil on Canvas board, 2010.

It's gotta get worse before it gets better.

But don't worry, it'll all be okay.

This is the type of work I should be doing on cardboard boxes from the United States Postal Service. Mostly I was just experimenting with sgraffito. The canton turned out well.

Year of our Lord

Two Thousand Eleven.

I usually don't make New Year's resolutions because the middle of the winter does not feel like an appropriate turning point. I make resolutions in the Spring, like the citizens of the Roman Republic. If they were into that kind of a thing.

This time the Kalends of Janus felt like a turning point. Seasons change and so do I. As a matter of public record, and for the purposes of auditing, I have made four New Year's Resolutions fit to publish.

1. Hold down a job for +6 months (&or go back to school).
2. Move out.
3. Get serious about building a nascent art career. (&Or go back to school.)
4. Read the ~52 unfinished/unread books I'm sitting on.

Notes:

One and three are likely. Four is doable. Two is a dream, but it's good to dream.

How many turning points can you have before you end up back where you started?
