A mantra I've adopted from George Mumford's book "Unlocked." George is a psychologist, mindfulness and meditation teacher, and performance coach of some of the GOATS like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Sports is an excellent arena to witness flowstate, but whatever our passion is, we all have a pathway to becoming our most authentic selves. George calls it "uncovering the masterpiece within." Hearing him say it in his own voice on audiobook adds a nice touch, like he's the coach I didn't know I needed, and I am filled with hope again.

I love finding wisdom in trite, intentionally wise and clever places (ex. Musicals) I feel like Iām always in a place where I could learn or know more about myself or why I am internally structured the way I am. Reading self help books can be a vibe and it is one to me. Just read āThe Mountain is Youā that one was nice, āAtomic Habitsā is amazing, love Joe Dispenza across the board.

Currently reading Gabrielle Bernsteinās āSuper Attractorā.
The depression and the life got HELLA badā¦Iām talking all time low.
This book is really helping me reframe my state of mind and put myself into a better mindset, even if I donāt believe I deserve it.
Being a performance artist in nyc (in this economy) is not for the faint of heart. Iāll do whatever it takes to get into a better mindset and take back some control over my life.

I am obsessed with this Art Deco Extraordinaire, a Polish-born painter whose glamorous figurative compositions came to life in 1920s-30s Paris. Influenced by Cubism and Neoclassicism, her worksāespecially her portraits of womenāblend beauty, strength, modernity, and a timeless cosmopolitan flair. After leaving Paris, she continued her career in New York, Hollywood, and Mexico. Now on view is her first American retrospective at the de Young Museum in San Francisco until February 9th.

I've been doing a lot of live drawings at shows, this one is of Juvenile and Mannie Fresh when they played at Brooklyn Bowl to celebrate the 25th anniversary of "Back That Azz Up." They had a live band with them and the energy was so hype! His son messaged me "My dad love the painting" and got my email so I'm hoping this ends up in his house one day :) Musicians are my main muses. I sell the drawings as fine art prints and because they are ink on paper, the replicas look pretty identical to the OGs. Live drawing is a practice I've devoted myself to out of not having a studio and living out of a storage unit and it's made me brave and remember that MFA degree and Art World aside, art is about curiosity, creativity, openess, innovation, and being present to the beauty in front of you. It is the conscious action to make marks, to trust the ancient technology embeded in our bodies, to allow a picture to reveal itself, and connect to some kind of truth on the daily.
