Currently working with javascript, PHP, MySQL, and WordPress theme creation. I’m beginning to understand Twitter Bootstrap, and how to apply that to my development projects. I’m finding it a bit obnoxious to have multiple blogs. While understanding how to create my own wordpress theme (this blog being the example), I’m considering bringing everything here from [...]

Starting this entry was perplexing for a number of reasons. Should it start with commenting on all the babies being born by close friends and how that may be the motivation for this? What about the vegetable garden I started growing, or how there is no longer any rotting flesh in my refrigerator? However I [...]

Kevin Costello reviews SARTQ: Thirteen http://bit.ly/t5iV3W. Daniel Miller, like [Joseph] Arnegger, revisits the recent past of art history to hold a mirror up to the present. But for Miller it is the recent past of video art. His “untitled” continuous video loop has the feel of the early days of this medium. The quiet, Zen [...]

It came to my attention a week ago that I was running out of short term goals. The long term goals are shaping out nicely, but I have successfully accomplished those that were planned to be developed over a few months to a year time. A nice collection of painted portraits, three years of my [...]

After three years, I have given my resignation to the local art collective, SARTQ. In the beginning, the original branding campaign was developed in tandem with my close friend, Tobey Albright. He and I designed and implemented a cohesive marketing strategy and identity to this cause, opening up prospects that the local community had never [...]

A 70lb. dog lays on a tile floor, sleepily and content. Eggs cooking in the kitchen, the New York Times waiting in the driveway. Its 68degrees and sunny. An unfinished painting of Tobey Albrights portrait rests on an easel, an iPod plays the Suuns. Theres a slight breeze, moving the palms around a bit, causing [...]

The year 2011 has been full of change. One exciting thing is a new working space I have recently acquired. A quick bike ride from where I am living, it will provide me with a place to offer a comfortable environment for sitters. Moving on to my fourth portrait painting, I am ready to start [...]

I had the privilege of meeting with a group of the most prominent artists in Sarasota last night. I was invited to have dinner with the Sarasota Arts Council to discuss how they can assist us artists in town for further exposure and some form of unity. Most of us already knew each other from [...]

Words are something I have had some interest in since I was a child. I have books filled of writing since I was about six years old. I wrote all through high school, somewhat discretely with only a few people ever reading what I had written. I use to read Allen Ginsberg and had a [...]

I had a friend tell me this morning that she and her hubby’s mom started their company as a General Partnership. At first I was happy that she got her idea off the ground and is moving into her new office / studio today, but I was also mortified at the fact that she was [...]

I would like to thank Halimah for the wonderful critique and brainstorming she has invested her time into. Writing has also been exciting! It has been somewhat slow with Graphic Love Juice as I have been concentrating on other projects, procrastinating the online store but still on track for my new year deadline (So far [...]

This month has been the complete opposite of August. Blogs are no place for emotional exploration (at least for myself) so I will definitely refrain from expressing myself here, but I can say that relationships with people take a lot of energy. Graphic Love Juice is going strong. The goal is to have an internet [...]

Mack B Gallery has offered me space to use for my artistic endeavors! I would like to thank Tobey Albright for giving me the opportunity to get out of my room / bathroom and venture into a larger, more productive space! Much appreciated and will be utilized to its fullest capacity.

In 2002 I started a General Partnership. My partner and I had no idea what was involved with creating and managing a business. The one thing that we did know, was that we wanted to create and maintain something that would benefit the community and give the people of the area something they could take [...]
