Creativity isn’t a prerogative of supreme beings. Why you may well ask. Simple. We are all, individually and collectively, riding the crest of evolution today, thanks to our in-born craft and appetite for inventiveness, not to speak of the emergence of great machines and harnessing of energies.

The Economics of Male Grief
The worst aspects of capitalism require humans to turn into machines. Cut off from our bodies. Cut off from our emotional worlds. Cut off, often, from the needs of the very Earth we live on, and are made of.
The Break Up
Not everyone embraces the journey to adulthood with enthusiasm. Sometimes adulthood needs to take a back seat and wait for the hormones to kick in. Without those much-needed hormones, first kisses can be downright gross.
Imagined Train Stations – Part 1
I tend to paint in an impressionistic, realist style, recording figures passing through a moment of time, migrating to an unknown place or opening, represented by a source of light.
