Hi all, just wanted to let you know that a mini comic I drew, written by Wes Locher, has been released! Check it out at:
innovationcomic.com/chapter4.h…
Let me know what you think!
It's one thing to just draw a mini comic, but another thing to see how a mini comic can propagate out to comic review sites and get a person just a little bit of recognition. I owe a lot to Wes for being a really great writer that is also an equally phenomenal marketer and promoter. Check out his site at:

In other news, I bought Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga for my kids, and I've been playing a bit. For the first time in a LONG time, I actually sat down and played a game for like 3 hours straight. Not a bad game at all!
I'm also really digging a little android app I got, which is called Russian Gypsy Fortune Cards, 99 cents in the Google Play Store. It's a great take on fortune telling, check it out! play.google.com/store/apps/det…
You can also buy real cards with beautiful art on Amazon at www.amazon.com/Russian-Gypsy-F…
Last but not least, Comet ISON reaches Perihelion (closest point to the Sun) tomorrow, so keep your cosmic consciousness aware! There are celestial visitors to our neighborhood. Let's welcome them and let them know about our higher states of consciousness and awareness.

Happy PI day 2022
I basically missed my new year's post by 3 months and 14 days (or if you count COVID, missed by 2 years, 3 months and 14 days...). Well here I am, happy PI day instead! In my last journal, I listed a bunch of ideas on what I was thinking of working on in 2019. I decided to work on Transformers fanart and I began posting almost daily in 2019 on Instagram. I've since cooled off but not after growing my social media following there to 8K around the end of 2021. I usually talk about new year's resolutions in this journal. So what do I hope to achieve in 2022? Well my art interests took a big shift at the end of 2021 because of the whole NFT scene. It really sparked my imagination and rekindled my dreams of reaching a bigger audience with my original ideas, instead of fanart. So far in the beginning of 2022, I've even expanded into AI art, which is all the rage now. I hope you all get to explore the new frontier of NFTs and AI art as well. I've also been pleasantly surprised at a recent
Happy New Year 2019
Time to unload some thoughts!
So 2018 came and is 11 hours from completion. Compared to 2017, I posted a lot less to social media in 2018. I think I was rediscovering myself (again). I think also it was because I started working full time (for the most part) around May.
The biggest highlight of 2018 was finally producing my own story (art and writing) called Mind Transfer, which is broken down into 2 volumes, Saving Amelia and Amelia Starsaden. View the story here:

In all, I posted 28 chapters (with some tangential posts and update posts). Armed with this
To Conquer a Lie
July 30, 2012 is a day that forever changed my entire life, but more specific to this blog, it changed my life as an artist.
That day I joined my first Meetup via meetup.com. It was a local NYC meetup called “Unblocking Creativity”, run by Ben Henderson, who based his meetup on the teachings of Byron Katie. I sat down in his apartment along with about 10 other creatives, surrounded by his abstract paintings. Below is a chronological recount of my notes, thoughts and quotes from Ben that day. I hope that by presenting my notes in this fashion that you will get a feeling of the “journey of discovery of the self” that I f

In January 2013, I listed a bunch of quotes I read in a magazine. Here they are again, but with added notes from how my thoughts have changed since then:
- To improve your rapport with the person you are talking to, synch your body language to that person for 30 seconds.
How I feel now: Rapport is not something you *will* into existence by some mechanical movements.
- Look in the mirror and say "Great!" in as many different ways as you can until you laugh. (I tried this, I really did laugh and it didn't take long.)
How I feel now: Still agree.
- "Mastery" is not genius. It is a function of concentration and time. (This great quote is cor

Whoooa, Stan, this is absolutely amazing. I...I can't believe how good that was! All the expressions and details; it was fabulous! Loved the writer's storyline as well. Very catchy, but sad. So cool!!! You're actually living your dream!!
