o “What if everyone just started to only do things they actually WANT to do? How different would this world be?”

o “Drawing skin texture I imagine feels similar to drawing dirt texture. The details seem like dirt & dust, from once we came”

o “We have to keep gathering to share ideas so that some of us will do them.

Propelling culture to an awakening. We- artists- have been driving this car. They have developed consciousness the whole time. When you get to take the car for a spin, have fun. Do a donut.”

o “When I draw I get to break the rules & decide if I like it my way or “natures way/traditions way”. Do I follow the path set up for me to follow? Do I step off the path to frolic in my own dance?”

o Signed May 10, 2025 w/ her next to me

o “Part of being an artist is learning how to handle a lifetime of people wanting to show you their weird shit. Why do people want to show me their weird shit? And why do I so desperately want to see it up close?”

o “This would not be the first time I became something I could have never imagined or seen”

o “You draw for moments at a time, knowing you’ll be back to check in over & over again. I’ve been here before.”
