Being an artist doesn’t take much, just everything you got. Which means, of course, that as the process is giving you life, it is also bringing you closer to death. But it’s no big deal. They are one in the same and cannot be avoided or denied. So when I totally embrace this process, this life/death, and abandon myself to it, I transcend all this meaningless gibberish and hang out with the gods. It seems to me that that is worth the price of admission.

365 unique, highly unusual -- all inimitable -- self-portraits. Some strange –MANY strange: staring nostrils; maniacal, gnashing teeth; Devils from the Deep. Many with subtle comment, some with character insight, virtually all interesting. No. 365: sterling self-portrait, poet in thoughtful repose, eyes on the future, with usual visual subtlety: quietly suspended, celebratory RED balloon: STOP, end-of-venture. – Significant that the balloon is not brazenly weaving on a string, but tranquil in a quiet atmosphere created by its pensive creator. Congratulations for a huge endeavor well done.
