Excuse me.
I must go get naked
Of pretense, masks and artifice.
Now I’m standing,
Only skin and bones before
The mirror
Who’s laughing?
Am I more human
now?
What if I like this naked me?
Stripped bare against cold, wet voices?
Then I must trust myself
Never to get dressed again
Ever.

My credo of art
My credo of art
--Art is something I must do.
--I make art that requires more than an 8 second look..
--I make art that grows in substance as I grow in substance.
--I make art as a conversation with the viewer about the
human condition.
--I make art to have meaning for me and meaning for the
viewer, though not always the same meaning.
--The meaning of the work is more important than work
itself.
--I consider art to be a gift that unfortunately must often
be a commodity.
--I must tend to my own humanity if I want my art to have
its own humanity.

Some political notes
Some political notes:
1. The Republicans say it is their Constitutional duty to do
oversight of the FBI. What about their Constitutional duty to keep the
government functioning effectively, to act with integrity and listen to their
constituents?
2. The President
thinks that what is happening in government is a “disgrace.” But he doesn’t
acknowledge that he is the reason for it.
3. Politicians don’t realize that when they claim
underhanded actions of the other party are “just politics,” they are actually
demeaning their own profession.
4. The only good thing about the Nunez memo is that it
distracts us from Superbowl mania.

My brand
You can ignore me. That’s okay. But you must pay attention to my brand. My brand is the sparkling, squeaky clean, always-there-for-you me. My brand never farts like I do, or drops ketchup on its tie like I do. My brand glosses over all the ways I’m messy and mess up. All the ways I’m human.
