We are in full transition mode. . In two weeks I'll be on the road hopefully on the way to a new home out of state. As this year comes to a close I can't help but feel like all of my life experiences and character built me up to stand thru 2020 so I can keep going & moving forward & making art. I've learned that there are situations and crisis that your life experiences just don't translate into. When you have to completely rewrite your perspective because it can no long carry the weight of the reality around you. And at the end of that process you have to be able to be ok with the idea that you might have to write a new draft again someday because the heaviness of the change in your life will come again. . I can't tell you that I'll always be ready for that change but I am prepared to make the journey. . I prayed all night the other night and the next day I saw this rainbow. So I think I'm moving in the right direction. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #moving #artlife #rainbow #havefaith #timesarechanging #makeithappen #healing #transition #grieving #byecalifornia #dreambig #newyearnewme #perspective #changeyourlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CIoOtyRlFvr/?igshid=18w9tl3xvc34n

I've been having a lot of success with my art on TikTok. . . If TikTok is a danger so are IG, FB, the police, the military, anyone in authority who is incapable of empathy & condemns or seeks to destroy any person they don't understand - who believes in stifling communication & creativity, who hoorah's at the destruction of a people that don't look like them, and those complicit in their ideology & reign. . . . .
