take a gander at my

As a kid I had the tendency to spend a lot of time off in my own little world, playing around with art supplies. From a cartoon sketch I did of Al Capone to a ladybug I painted on my childhood bedroom wall without asking permission, I found a state of flow that I loved while lost in these spurts of creativity. I took an art class in high school, which didn't always go so well. I did a watercolor of a naked woman and my very dear friend and classmate, Ricky, said it looked more like Mowgli from the Jungle Book (he was not wrong). Over the years I lost touch with art but it eventually found its way back into my life on a consistent basis. I love to explore seeing things from a different perspective, paying attention to the small details, reveling in how incredible nature is, and the cycle of death and rebirth. I am convinced that if you look close enough, everything is beautiful.
