What does it really mean to be an artist? Artists come in many shapes and sizes and forms. They are people of ideas that are picturesque as well as descriptive in what they are depicting. There are various mediums that one uses to be called an artist.
Art is subjective and at times objective to a point
Reactions to the work is part of the joy and sorrow one receives
Teaching us to see things differently.
Instinctive at times and just following their free-flowing ideas to
satisfy whomever and just
Take a moment and enjoy the creativity and joy of the artist.

Ode to Writers
Who are writers? We all learn to write our letters whether in manuscript printing or in cursive. Does that make us all writers? I remember back in second grade and just learning how all the letters joined together to make words come alive and it was pretty as a picture written in cursive handwriting with all the lines and curves like the letters 'Q', 'L', 'S', and my favorite was the letter 'Z'. Anyway, what is a writer by profession that we chose to be during a period of our lives.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Fear of a Black Hat
Fear of a Black Hat, a Rusty Cundieff film, is one of my all-time favorite movies when I need to laugh. We’re talking Kentucky-Fried Movie territory. You want the uncut version, otherwise you don’t get the Ice Froggy Frog video (below) at the beginning or the discussion about artistic integrity in Cleveland. I own the cut version (😥)—couldn’t find the uncut version at that time, no extra money for it right now, but you aren’t me, so buy the uncut version.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
