Hand Painted “prints” only $35 +shipping. Find them here.
In an effort to get used to using color and, specifically, gouache I did a series where I drew the same image over and over using different colors. Here is that series. Each one is an original drawing and is signed/dated by the artist (me!). If you like what you see, please consider buying one. For an original piece they are very cheap, and right now I really need the money. As always, any money you spend on my artwork goes directly toward supporting my art practice. Without your support I wouldn’t be able to keep making things.
*please re-blog

You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that all your energy, every vibration, every Btu of heat, every wave of every particle that was her beloved child remains with her in this world. You want the physicist to tell your weeping father that amid energies of the cosmos, you gave as good as you got.
And at one point you’d hope that the physicist would step down from the pulpit and walk to your brokenhearted spouse there in the pew and tell him that all the photons that ever bounced off your face, all the particles whose paths were interrupted by your smile, by the touch of your hair, hundreds of trillions of particles, have raced off like children, their ways forever changed by you. And as your widow rocks in the arms of a loving family, may the physicist let her know that all the photons that bounced from you were gathered in the particle detectors that are her eyes, that those photons created within her constellations of electromagnetically charged neurons whose energy will go on forever.
And the physicist will remind the congregation of how much of all our energy is given off as heat. There may be a few fanning themselves with their programs as he says it. And he will tell them that the warmth that flowed through you in life is still here, still part of all that we are, even as we who mourn continue the heat of our own lives.
And you’ll want the physicist to explain to those who loved you that they need not have faith; indeed, they should not have faith. Let them know that they can measure, that scientists have measured precisely the conservation of energy and found it accurate, verifiable and consistent across space and time. You can hope your family will examine the evidence and satisfy themselves that the science is sound and that they’ll be comforted to know your energy’s still around. According to the law of the conservation of energy, not a bit of you is gone; you’re just less orderly. Amen.

I found this image on a post card in some bookstore in 2005 and taped it to the front of my Moleskine. Seeing it reappear on Tumblr is awesome and strange. When nostalgia attacks!!!
Cannot stop thinking about tattoos. Obsessing over tattoos. What tattoo will I get. Will I get a tattoo. What is the most beautiful simple line drawing in the world, can I get it tattooed on me.
