ALLOW LIFE TO TEACH YOU
This phrase came to me after i thought long and hard on what this photo meant to me. I obviously got a lot from it because this is me with my two year old son, Felix Sean. And he is left handed, so i adapted and became left handed for a moment anyway, and it allowed us to both work together on the same art, while not hitting elbows.Because check him out, he switched after i did too. Lesson learned, thanks little dude. i love you.

ASSOCIATE WITH WISE GOOF BALLS
IT'S GOOD TO BE GOOFY. AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT OVERLY OBNOXIOUS, RUDE OR ANNOYING THE MASSES. THIS IS CHUCK, A LOCAL ART CRITIC. WHO HAS HELPED ME WITH ROOM AND BOARD, TRAVEL, AND FINE WINE; BEING HE IS ALSO CONNECTED WITH THE RITZ CARLTON, REAL ESTATE AND THE AIRLINES.

IF OTHERS LIKE YOUR WORK THEY WILL WANT OTHERS TO SEE IT
Sometimes as an artist you just need to share visuals to add ambiance to a surf shop, a restaurant, or another public venue. If you think your work is good, the ultimate test is to see if you qualify to get into a public display without a hassle and also be the one who gets the invite. This takes social skills as well and patience. Once you get an invite from a shop owner or a manager, than this is a good step towards targeting a local crowd or even stepping into unchartered territory , as far as your art's concerned. This is my three piece Jazz Set at BC SURF in town. The big piece is now on a pair of board shorts. I like how it's lit up at night.
