always drawing, always making...

Pretty much every day of every week I awake and need to either get to my sketchbook, my chisels, my saws or my jewelers torch. The visuals come in as I sleep and during time spent in water. My responsibility is to capture as much of this as possible. If I do, more comes in... if I slack the river dries up. So I am always in Flow, always in some form of creating something or other. No its not exhausting, its invigorating and I look forward to each new "download".

travel, I have to move and travel...

I've found that if I set still too long I get wanderlust. I've traveled so much in my life around this planet that it is an essential ingredient to my continued happy and productive existence as a human being.
