Some of my work and my thoughts on the problems, joy, humor, frustration and pain of being an artist.

Good Art or Bad? Turn Left or Right?
I can no longer decide anymore what artwork is good, what is bad, who does what to whom and how things are ever evaluated in the art world. I know really good artists who produce terrible stuff sometimes and I know mediocre artists that once in a blue moon do something brilliant. I have read books, studied, gone to websites, talked endlessly to other artists, beat it all to death and then resurrected it all, only to beat it again. I have seen terrible stuff sell over and over again and seen wonderful art sit in corners neglected. I know artists that brag endlessly about their work and others that haven't a clue as to how talented they are. I have wondered and pondered and tried and failed and succeeded and I am still left scratching my head. The only answer is that there is no answer and my only struggle is to get ok with that. I don't know if I will ever succeed being truly comfortable with this notion. This is where I am today after having been in Baltimore for the week. I will post some new work soon.
