i like all of your work
i REALLY like this though.

question:
have you ever had anyone say they didn't like your work,
like they pratically said 'your work sucks/it's boring/etc?'
i was just wondering because there is always that one lame person, you know?

i was just thinking about that today when a girl felt 50/50 about my work

you know...i don't think anyone's ever really come out and said it....but, i've had more than a few older people stop, cock their heads and ask me just exactly WHY i think what i do should be considered art. which, i suppose is a round about sorta way of saying the same thing. but, i'm not really catering to those who can only wrap their heads around brain dead art anyway, so we're all living in peace and harmony, for the moment at least! HAHAHA

i try not to take things too personally. i don't expect people to understand MY intentions behind the artwork...if people walk away having any response at all, i feel pretty satisfied. and if they truly don't like it and have reasons why, that's still a response....yah?

so, i guess...ultimately, it would be nice if every living soul thought my work was good, but to be honest, i don't really give a shit. it's more important that i keep discovering what makes me happy making these art things, because that's more of a high to me..

man, whoever invented resting space should get the biggest, fattest, tallest award...(to place in their empty, minimalist, cavernous home..

(resting space)
