#wildernessstudio

Painting in the wild is so exhilarating!!! Love these moments... Secret project in the works so no progress shots this time🎨 . . . #wildernessstudio #visionaryart #blackcanyon (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0T7TWonKuz/?igshid=ipomxg2tbyqe

I was tempted to try living in Sac--and if I hadn't been crashed into in Oakland I likely would have--but there are a few reasons why #Pittsburgh makes sense. Well, more than a few: proximity to (biological) fam; affordability, particularly in nonsuburban areas; on a similar note, ability to live without a vehicle; Sac has seen some of the steepest rent increases percentage wise in the country over the past several years; the topography, bridges, and thunder storms; four distinct seasons (granted, winters will be tough); a faith based community that may suit me, which is hard to come by; at least a couple grad school options should I pursue further schooling; grew up near the city in North Hills so it's "home"/familiar; friendliness and community (and yinzers); a talented music producer with whom to potentially record; Anti-Flag!; and of course #blackandyellow :) #antiflag #wildernessstudio #home #moving #goals #plans #visitpittsburgh #mobility #opportunity #liveablecity Pic cred: www.epfa.me #emmanuelfineartgallery https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2014/11/what-millennials-love-about-pittsburgh/383074/ (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxWKRNjB8gY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aynzmef40p96

https://youtu.be/3TNBCm1l700 #thegoodgrief #treypearson Another song I plan to record at #wildernessstudio next month! As my "enemy" once joked, maybe when Yeshua was saying "Amen" he was saying "Ah, men." You know Jai, maybe he was. And why would that be funny? You only demonstrate your own prejudice and bigotry. Unfortunately you are far from alone. We have a long way to go not only as a society but world at large. #thuggchains #lgbtq #pride #equality #progress #courage #identity #speakout #standup #riseagainst

I will be flying from #LosAngeles next month in order to record for two days at #wildernessstudio preceded by a Penguins game (first as an adult in their relatively new arena)! Note I am offering private house shows for only $100 (plus travel expenses). I will be living in California but open to anywhere in the continental United States. Shows will be most conveniently booked during the summer months. Get on that! ;-D #kickstarter #recording #penguins #lvrsrlntcs "Like the #phoenix I shall rise again!"

https://youtu.be/YH16JnaqhZg I've already decided to record "Grace" by Ed when in Pennsylvania next month. I am going to track this song too, particularly because I am looking for at least a few to feature a guest female vocalist and with whom to harmonize. I may change the key but will stick to this arrangement for the most part. #dancewithyou #freaks4live #edkowalczyk #anouk #duet #buck #buckmusic #buckcoverband #wildernessstudio #jvega #pittsburgh #lancaster #pennsylvania #alternativerock #90sforever
