I have a friend who is struggling. He’s close to rock bottom but he still takes time out of his life to send me pictures of the places he is. Sometimes it is some view from a garage roof, sometimes it is the Gulf. Yesterday it was this little bird.
I can’t help him. I can’t save him. The hardest thing about friendship is allowing myself to be a friend and not a savior. Not […]
It’s been a really long day. My mind is fried. Night all. I leave you with Lantana.
And Lorde. Her voice is mind boggling.
Good Morning. I still don’t have a lot to say this morning. I seem to be cycling down again. I feel like I have whiplash lately. Up down, up down. I don’t seem to be losing the drive to paint and draw, which will most likely save my life this go around.
When I was younger I would cycle up and have about three solid weeks of pure creativity then it would leave me for 6 months and I would be completely destitute about it. Up until January of last year I had put away anything creative because it had […]
Soco has been posting some really amazing commute pics.

Love yourself (in private)
Be kind (rewind)
A little bit of back story on this. This actually came from Cordless’s post:
I have no idea what to call this
Well I’ve had a migraine all day. Boohoo me right?
Here have something I just completed. I’m going to go pass the hell out.
This is the view from the sofa I camp out at most days. Little slice of HDS life.
Love Yourself
Be kind.

Couldn’t help myself tonight. That picture was so beautiful I had to paint it.
Thank you for the beauty. Hope work is good. Monday. Wow.
I’ve been messing with this damn thing all weekend until this song came on and I erased everything I was doing all wrong and just had at it. Just let go and had at it.
I hope it fits the bill.
Love yourself.
Be kind.

Two days of feeling “normal” and I’m done.
Thank goodness it is done. Two days of just walking around without needing to paint or write. Initially I felt peaceful. Then I missed it.
Two days of empty peace. Not lonely, not manic. Sitting for the sake of sitting. No revelations. No spiritual plunging into cool bodies of water.
I feel like an imposter sometimes here. I rarely think of killing myself. It is more […]
I’m working on a series of paintings of the gulf. I have a friend who has been supplying me with a steady diet of gulf pics. He is down there for a fresh start, having made so many fresh starts in his life.
He sends me birds, water. Night, day. Sun, clouds. Amazing stuff really.
This is typically where I come up with some colloquial witticism. I’m fresh out of platitudes tonight, be them empty or full. Time for bed. Enjoy the night friends.
No idea why this fit the bill. But it does. Sorry you are struggling so much lately.
I’m off to bed where i am going to pass the hell out.
HDS out.
Thank you for the beautiful drawing from D.A. Feel free to share this on the artist page if you like. A homage to beauty. I see a sunrise where the artist sees shades of grey. Either is beauty.
I have been up until now working in realism, but really fantasy is my comfort zone some nights.
This is “the blush of dawn”.
Love yourself, be kind.

Hello folks.
Short update here. Feeling peaceful. No manifestos to offer today about fish or flowers. No art as I seem to have ended this methodical obsessive streak for the time being. I sat and watched two movies last night. Was just in the moment. The movies were not life changing movies they were just silly things. Pure silly entertainment. A friend told me yesterday that is important. Doing silly things just because. There doesn’t have to be some kind of life changing revelation in every moment I take in. Sometimes it is just sitting […]
Love yourself.
Be kind.

A friend of mine is currently sitting on the beach at the Gulf. As he sits in the dark, he is wondering what this means. Where he is at in his life.
I say worry about that tomorrow, when the surf isn’t as mysterious and the reflections are gone.
Love yourself, be kind

Caught this pic this morning and had to paint it.
Love yourself, be kind.

Hope things are stable. I typed “Light of the sun” and this popped up on youtube. I hope you enjoy it. It is melodic and nice to listen to.
Sometimes it isn’t farewell.
Love yourself, be kind.

Mozart composed this when he was 11. Wow.
I have a friend who is struggling and has gone radio silent. It makes me sad. But I understand the reasons for it even if it makes me introspective tonight. His favorite genre of music isn’t necessarily Mozart, or piano. He is more an electric guitar shredder of sorts. He is also one of the most amazing singers I have ever had the honor of hearing.
Still for some reason I thought of him when I listened to this.
Love yourself and be kind.
Especially you my friend, where […]
