The word passion comes from the Latin “patior,” meaning to suffer or to endure. These days, losing its uncomfortable roots, passion is a feeling of unusual excitement, enthusiasm or compelling emotion toward a subject, idea, person or object. Here’s how to get it:
Revisit and repossess your core dreams and fantasies.
Consider your dreams to be private, unique and sacred.
Get help from and watch the actions of the already passionate.
Indulge, honour and live in your own imagination.
Don’t talk about it, do it.
See your passion manifested into action or production.

I thought that Jenny might get a kick out of this one.
First of the New year
Here’s the first piece of art I’ve finished this year. Playing with ink, and watercolor on paper.
That’s right Smile Mother F***er–it can only get better.
Happy Freaking New Year
Boring, boring, bored
Wow, it’s pretty boring around here since XMas. Not much going on. I used my Borders gift cards to buy some nice books, which should be ending up on my 101 Books list (look in my sidebar–on the right) pretty soon. One is over 900 pages, so it may be a while. Used some of the cash we got for art supplies, and eaten most of the Christmas food goodies. Those need to be gone soon, because I’m buckling down on my diet after the New Year. Which is coming right up. This has been a tough year, I’m glad it’s almost over.
Working on art works, but nothing finished, or even close right now–soon though. I do have some more drawings from my Everyone we Know book ready to go, so I may post them soon.
That’s it.
Portrait Series
Well I guess I can reveal what I made for my siblings and stepmother, now, since Christmas is over, and I delivered Richard’s today. These are silkscreen, and acrylic on canvas, and are 10×8 inches.
Merry Christmas
