I know.
I can't do anything but apologize profusely for my absence for the last month. I've been back in the United States and back to school since January, but with moving and beginning classes, updating here has been pushed and pushed back. But no more!
My time in England has been an enlightening one. I've seen art spanning centuries in countries across Europe. I've had conversations with people from all over the globe. And most importantly, I know who I am as an artist, and I know exactly what I want to make.
I want to make work that fills gaps. I want people to realize they had gaps they didn't know about, but are now fulfilled. I want people to look at my work and say "this is me, this is how I am, and I didn't know it before. I thought I was alone." These gaps are emotional, psychological, theological and philosophical.
And in order to do this, I want to be honest. I want to make art that doesn't hide. I want my work to be there for people. I want to make books, and watercolors, and drawings, and prints, and music. And I want people to love them, because they were made with that person in mind.
I am thinking about you and I want to make art for you.
Valentine's Day 2010.
This brings me back to this. I'm sorry it's not out now, but it's so important to me that these come to you on Valentine's Day. Please, bear with me. I promise they are there for you in 4 days.
