Portraits Continued.
July 2005 was the year I began creating a News Letter for the Home Depot team.  
Here it is almost a year later and I've found that the cartoon character I've been
working with since its beginnings is only an extension of myself and my emotions
throughout that period.  This month, May of 2006, I decided to create a series of
pieces depicting me and that character, Homer, working side by side.
Kind of how I feel when I'm working on the
Home Depot Newsletter.
I'm always in search of new and entertaining idea's
for the letter.  Me and Homer that is.

I created this image for the April issue of the letter.

Gosh has it been so long since I've added anything to this website.  

Here are some pictures I've drawn.

The good thing about art is that
allows you to express yourself in
a very unique and descriptive
way.  Here was one of those
very
blue times within myself.  Things haven't be going well as of late.  Wish I could say that
art made things easier to cope with.  Sometimes all it does is amplify the issues.
I completed this piece yesterday and I added this
picture today,
February 26th, 2009.
This is a particularly downhearted point in my life.
My wife is out of work. I'm trying to sell my work
and as of yet, I've yet to hit a market that
considers my work of having enough appeal and
worth that makes any piece worth owning, through
its purchase.  It's more than a sign of the times.
It's a sign of the hole I've dug for myself, that is
almost to different to be appreciated or even
observed as a viable and true as a piece of art.

I'm wondering about my own worth, and if I'll ever
be shown or appreciated for who I am.  Do I have
to be someone else to get noticed.  It's a heart
break for me, in all I do and all that I think.  I
continuously have dreams of being surrounded by
insects and rodents that consider me only as some
inanimate object that can be considered as
something to goes unnoticed or even there.

At least I keep on trying and telling myself, that
someday someone will notice, just keep on truckin'
and things will fall in place.  They just have to fall
in place.  And then I wake, and all is the same.
Another day, another struggle, another hope,
another failure ... another.
