So, I’m still struggling with a purpose and a direction to head off in. I know everything comes in time, but I’m having other issues as well. My memory isn’t what it was six months ago, and my strength is 80% at best. And I know “Doug, you just had a heart attack.” I understand about recovery time. But understand this is all new to me. I feel like my art isn’t what it was six months ago. So, it’s either the heart attack, or the new cat that adopted me is a jinx. I fucking hate this. It’s fucking with my head. I have medication that’s supposed to aid in my physical recovery, now also for my mental recovery. I’m not feeling it. Literally.
I’m optimistic about the upcoming year and the movie/video project. Not really sure of any concrete details, but I’ve been in the middle of animating my graphic novel, Epitaph, for about five years now, and I haven’t done any real work on it since my last move. So three or so years. I’m hoping this is the catalyst that gets some of these video projects finished. I need to sit down and write a checklist. Maybe I’ll do that after I post this. I’m doing my best to keep you all posted. Anyway, here’s art:



A lot of what I did was abstract:



Of course, the heads:



And, no matter what, I can always count on John to connect me to my muse:
Hardly Rotten, I’d say.
So, there it is. Thanks for coming by.

To me, your art is evolving. Directly after the heart attack, there was a deficit I noticed. Now, it is more like your mind and soul are incorporating what you experienced and are still experiencing into your work, giving those experiencing a voice. I am not disagreeing with you or discounting your feelings. It is just a different point of view or perspective.
