Grinding. A necessary evil on the road to improvement.

Hello and a happy 2015 to all!

The above two quotes are attributed to the author of "The Alchemist." When read together they seem to give contradicting advice! So take away what you will. In the end, it's up to each individual as you know your situation and experience better than anyone else.

"The Alchemist" is a book that's hard to resist especially if you've read anything related to its ethereal origins story or the inspiring Foreward from the 25th anniversary release. As an artist, it touched my heart. If you're looking for a quick read and a simple, meditative story on life and one's aspirations, give it a try.

May the new year bring plenty of good omens and creativity into your lives.

Playing with white ink. After trying a few, Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White is definitely my favorite!

Practicing in vermillion. Very fall-appropriate, I think.

Playing around with a new logo. Our tumblr also has a new look, so check it out!
