Apocrytha


so... i haven't posted shit since May4...

not for lack of material (i swear i'm starting to feel like porky big trying to convince people this shit exists), but life (more on that in a minute)...

i finished this pic in the spring (see that tiny sig?) while watching the education system that employs me continue to fail scores of children... as outspoken as i tend to be... i grew frustrated with the system and silenced myself as injustices were committed...

this piece (Water color/oil paint/marker) was inspired by the Lupe Fiasco single "Words I Never Said" and was born of that frustration...

TANGENT: If you haven't already... check out Lupe Fiasco's Lasers... a little dance track happy for long time fans (like myself)... but a hot record...

anyhow... been reflecting on the "writer" side of the equation and decided to agent hunt... considering my vow to forsake the industry, this was a humbling choice to make... but my experiences navigating the publishing world (mostly) dolo while working full time has helped me appreciate the complexities of this undertaking...

so i'm focusing on the creative side... and sooner or later (planning for the former, but only god knows whether it'll be the latter) i'll have someone ready to assist the business side... that's when phase one will be done...

i might still release something this fall... i've had a rush of inspiration come at me (again) and i've been editing something i felt was nearing completion...

i also started The Naked City Writers... a collective of nyc area writers... our first meeting is tomorrow night and i'm feeling inspired...
