Throughout my life I have use all kinds of implements to mark up
the surface of things, trying to make them look like other things. I have spent many thousands of hours learning how to make the marks that seem to be the most satisfying. I have received extensive instruction from accomplished artists, which has sometimes yielded good results. Other times I have gotten better results by trying to teach myself. I have colored and drawn and painted and gouged and scratched and made messes and started over.
The things in my recent work are generally ordinary things but the things are often not central to the work. Often composition and execution are the things.
In this present year, so far, I have been living and traveling in México, making sketches, taking photos and making digital drawings.
