Two-thousand and nine is here and I’m still alive. My high-school friends and I used to have a saying — “As long as none of us are dead, or in jail… it’s been a good year.” Another year past, and that’s still true. Everyone seems to be in good health, and there’s nothing to complain about.

Two-thousand and nine can only mean that it’s time for some changes. Hopefully, all for the better. I’m back on the job market, and things are looking positive, and I’m ready to get out there and start this ‘career’. Things are going to have to change, but it’s my priority to stick with my aspirations. No matter where I end up in the new year, I’m going to put my artwork first and foremost. I love the work I do, and I love to see the reactions I get when it’s out there. So here’s to the new year. A new start.

What’s going to change? Who knows. But i’ll keep on drawing. You can count on that.



“I am, much more.”

I’m a cultured mnemonic of originality
and an abscess resistant to banality.
A limerick of validity,
an example of authenticity,
Original, expressive, and
a shining example of rationality.

Not one, or two,
or many more can discourage
my personality — or challenge my
sentimentality. While at times
I may display multiple mutualities.
I stand firm on my principalities. As
I march towards an eventual fatality. I can
offer much venality, in exchange for
my immortality.

While I may recite lines of banality,
or rely on the precipice of my speciality —
I ponder on my eventuality, and
devote myself entirely
to my individuality.
