Not to fear kids. This is what your 40's look like.
After turning 40--thanks for the subtitle Gloria Steinem-- I realize that I have done a few things. A partnership, a divorce, smoking, quitting, graphic design, drugs, fitness, fatness, illustration, atheism, agnosticism, fine art, deep depressions, joyful acceptance, programming, materialism, renunciation, mindfulness, out-of-my-mind, sales, smoking, quitting, yoga, teaching, consulting, house painting, rehabbing houses, landlording, travel, cooking, loads of vodka, loads of water, making gardens, killing house plants, smoking, quitting, cats, dogs, profound loves and tawdry encounters. Some of it pretty good, some pretty awful. I have enjoyed the ride thus far and am in the process of surrendering all pretense and unneeded baggage. In honor of that process this web site is simple. Check back to the works section as I will change this often.
Thanks for looking.
