i create grids because they are the ultimate form of abstraction. 

a collection of lines can convey a feeling, a moment, the underlying tension or the wide open space of possibility.

in a grid you find what you want, what you need, in that moment. 

a grid is a gift.

gardening keeping me sane these days. nothing feels more peaceful than morning waterings, weed pulling, digging in the dirt, planting new friends and enjoying the edibles coming from the spring starts. 

small things : grounding things

got couple new tattoos scheduled for this month. it's been a few years since my last. 

one larger piece will be local and another two small pieces on a trip. i'd say about 80% of my ink is related to travel / experiences i've wanted to remember.

excited to have some more incoming.

more speculation → more destruction
