For 19 years I've been building works with tension and compression: the tension comes from me and the materials I use, the compression comes from my spine.

@Alex_Kack Coffee shop works too. Everyone I know just wants to keep hope alive. It’s like if we just organized around hope for a change and hope for progress “normal” people might be all in. Also giving $20 to a very local neighborhood charity, will do more in the long run.

@MattBesser headed to Little Rock for the weekend for a family wedding with tween kids in tow. Big damn bridge and river market, any other can’t miss things? Purple cow?

I saw @JohnLeguizamo perform freak in the theater in the 90’s. From the ward Sutton poster to his iconic red shirt and black pants I can still remember it all. One person shows are really incredible. Ars longa vita brevis.

In 2012 I was part of a panel on art and science. This was the sculpture that greeted us at the heart center. I will never forget the horror.

@dieworkwear The charlie watt’s thing is so special cause he was a jazz musician and graphic designer first and foremost and his “second” gig was providing drums for The Rolling Stones. He was impeccable in all his style choices especially his drum sounds
