Does wheatpasting work on a ceiling tile? Hmmm…
I will be facilitating a really exciting Cultural Portrait pilot project at a local high school in a couple of weeks. The plan is for the 30 students to create a street art type ceiling as they explore self and cultural identity. The work is to go on those classic porous school ceiling tiles- you…
Evolution of a #wheatpaste. Portrait of @ThaneKoi, one year later
What is the point of a piece that is meant to be temporary? Work that is impermanent reminds us that nothing in life is permanent, that every state is temporary and transitory. Contemplating this concept teaches us to embrace change in our life, instead of working against it. When others notice a piece that is…
“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains…” – Nelson Mandela
Upon his release he sought reconciliation, not revenge. That may be what inspires me the most about Nelson Mandela. For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. – Nelson Mandela
Journal exercise: facing our barriers [writing and drawing]
Before our drawing exercise today with my youth group, I asked them to write stream of consciousness around barriers– barriers that come up in life, that make us “stuck” etc. TEN MINUTES. 10 minutes of writing can be very liberating as it gives us a private place in which to problem solve and release….
Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand. – Yeats
WHERE dips the rocky highland Of Sleuth Wood in the lake, There lies a leafy island Where flapping herons wake The drowsy water rats; There we’ve hid our faery vats, Full of berrys And of reddest stolen cherries. Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, …
Desperately seeking Kate Moss…
Elusive, difficult to capture. No. No. No. No. No. No. Sometimes it is so easy to capture the essence of a person. Sometimes it just doesn’t happen. With Kate, I resorted to simplicity to finally interpret her glance and that “just so” placement of her eyes.

“How you live is how you heal.” Today’s portrait: @DrManonBolliger, ND
I had the pleasure of first meeting Dr. Manon Bolliger through Julie Salisbury, my publisher for Drawn Together. I love Manon’s empowering call for self-advocacy.

A wise man once said that all human activity is a form of play. #Photoshoot
A wise man once said that all human activity is a form of play. And the highest form of play is the search for Truth, Beauty and Love. What more is needed? Should there be a ‘meaning’ as well, that will be a bonus? If we waste time looking for life’s meaning, we may have…

Bury me with a China Marker and a pad of newsprint.#essentials. Latest portraits.
Nardwuar, the human serviette Camille Claudel Jocelyn Louise in my graphic novel Lyndi Barrett Anna T Fabulous As mentioned before, China Marker is my medium of choice for my graphic novel. When I die, bury me with a fresh china marker box and a pad of newsprint. Then cremate me ’cause I’m claustrophobic. —
