• i’m still here.

  i know, i know… i made this site back in february, and by april had essentially abandoned it. the truth is that i got some potentially devastating news in april and have spent all my time since then just trying to press onward, staying busy to keep myself from worrying too much. things have been good, and they’ve been bad. but now, i expect that i’ll have my answer within the next week, or definitely within the next two. at the moment, i’m in a lonely, restless limbo – putting on a brave face and trying to prepare for the worst. i’ll try to let you know when i find out. maybe then i’ll stop being too paralyzed to create.

  i thought perhaps a look at the books i keep close might give some insight into who i am (or, at least, who i aspire to be)

  

• art with words

  recently, i was reading through some old journals and decided to type up the poems contained therein and put them on a tumblr i made a while back. now that i’ve created this site, the question is whether i should bring some of those poems over here, or just start fresh with all new content. perhaps starting fresh will encourage me to do more writing.
  
  my hope is to use this as a place to document all of my projects. i don’t really post to social media anymore… like, ever. so i’m frequently creating things that are seen by only a few people close to me. and though i’m ultimately making art for myself, i would also like to share it. i’ve grown immensely as an artist over the past few years, and it feels like a shame to keep it all hidden away simply because i’ve developed a social media aversion. bear with me while i become reacquainted with wordpress, as it’s been over a decade since i used it. (i also had to make a new account, because i don’t have access to the email associated with my old account.)

  there’s no art in these words, but maybe this weekend i’ll write something new.
