How've y'all been? Hmm? I've been pert damn near perfect myself, thank you. Things have been busy as H-E- double hockey sticks around my joint so internet time is scarce. I have some news for you.
1) WRI is no longer a functioning entity. It has been disbanded. Why? Because these folks beat me to the Vision by about 30 years. It's almost building for building and function for function. It took a while to let the shock of this settle in. Not for egoic reasons either. I had been pouring so much energy into this thing for so long, to suddenly stop was a bizarre experience. If this Vision still sounds good to y'all, please click the link above and show your support.
2) I needed something creative to blast my energy into. It just doesn't shut off. It reroutes. And if I don't consciously direct it, well, something could happen. Something bad....(heh, heh, heh...) So as some of you know, I have been an artist all of my life. My Ma had both my Brother and I drawing before we could write. I had pencils and paints in my hands by 3 whether I liked it or not. And believe me, there was a time or two I didn't like it. So what do I do? If you look at the poor quality photos above, you will see that I do photo-real renderings in graphite (pencil) of Cowboys, Indians and the Southwest Culture in general. My hero in this medium is artist Robert "Shoofly" Shufelt. He is amazing. I hope to be that accomplished someday. Western culture is always my muse seemingly. I am in the process of building up a decent body of work to float through the gallery circuit and county fair. I have a lot of catching up to do to accomplish what my Ma did when she still walked this earth. All I can do is my best and my best I will do.
A gentle reality to y'all,
Erik
