this is a banana

March is all about drawing and painting (while continuing the sculpture). My drawing teacher G. L. Sussman (Gary) told me to draw everything. So I drew this banana. I will share with you some of my drawings from class in a later post.

PROTAGONISTO

is not a word in any language. It's one that this artist created by using the word 'protagonist' and adding the letter 'o', which is the closest language tool we have to the circle. For me the cyclical nature of life, of transformation and reinvention, is what I'm most interested in exploring.

This blog is about art. Not just visual art but the art of life. It took me a long time to get to contentment (35 years!). Visual art and the old threads of my experiences in literature and theater--protagonistas everywhere!--have woven (or perhaps unwoven) me into the man I was intended to become. This blog documents my development as an artist and I hope inspires one to take action to fulfill his or her own intention. It's a blog about the process of becoming someone who desires only to wear art and literature meat.
