  • Little Secrets Everywhere

    Here I am writing again. Years ago I set up a wordpress blog called “art at 3am” and I never posted anything to it until this morning. I felt the urge to post some artwork and write a little bit about my thought process for each one. I was hypomanic this morning, I could tell…

  • Before and After

    In an earlier post I said I would clean my desk on Monday in order to be able to make some art. I did it! Here are the before and after pictures; it’s still pretty crowded, but in the second photo there is room for paintbrushes on the top and a small canvas on the…
