WOW!!!

Twice in the same weekend. Looking forward to Free comic book day on Sat. 5-2-09. I'll be signing with Tony Parker, Daniel Bradford, Madame M, and Ben Glenndenning to name a few.

Once that's all done I'll be on my book, as well as concentrating on the paintings. I'llbe close to finished with commissions, this work will really be important and the aspects of the paintings will be once that you can't just simply walk away from. The thought that'll be running through my head while painting will be this:

"What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only eyes, if he is a painter, or ears if he is a musician, or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he is a poet, or even, if he is a boxer, just his muscles? Far from it: at the same time, he is also a political being, constantly aware of the heartbreaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. How could it be possible to feel no interest in other people, and with a cool indifference to detach yourself from the very life which they bring to you so abundantly? No, painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war."
