Stepping up the game

My wife finds it either amusing, or lame when I use the term "stepping up my game," and I can't really blame her. It is a pretty lame phrase considering the existence of the movie "Step Up," which is a lame movie about dancers, or something too that degree. But nonetheless, I do have to step up my game. It's been almost 6 years since I made a promise to an old friend to work hard on my artwork, and that's what I've been trying to do.

I've become restless these last few months. I'm happy, don't get me wrong, but I tend to paint my best stuff when there's some sort of emotional unrest brewing deep inside. My work as of late has brought me to use new symbols, and new characters. The heart with the flux capacitor attachments, the angel robot, the adult angels as opposed to the children I used to use- all these new guys are helping me express something new, but also something that's always been there.

I can't stop creating, and it's a great feeling. But I'm also wary of why.

I've got a group show coming up, and I'm stoked for it. Everyone will get to see "my new madness..."
