short animations
My first attempts at animation. The first is an abstract representation of myself, the second is short animated film about my sister, based on the comic I illustrated, called Cerebral Palsy Girl. Please check it out in the blog "Bizarre drawings and comic illustration"
art, gardens and guitars
I moved back in with my mom. It has been a good change. We live a little further out and it allows me to get a lot of exercise. She has a beautiful garden that I enjoy watering in the mornings. My childhood dog, Bubba, sleeps at the side of my bed. And Poppeye, the one-eyed cat, has been warming up to me.
I have enjoyed the warm storms and sunny days. Everything started to feel better for me after the move and the recovery of my guitar. It turns out Clap Your Hands Say Yeah took it back to their hotel after the show and then realized it wasn't theirs. Not stolen after all.
The Bad Mitten Orchestre is playing at the olympic trials the next three days. On Sunday we made $300 and we anticipate similar luck with the coming shows.
I am very happy and very excited to travel with the band and to China and to have found a comfortable place to live and improve on my health and my relationship with my mom.

"Your eyes re the mystery, with thousands
of lives living in the edges.
Your hair full of forgetfulness,
your face pure praise.
So clarity is decorated
with mistakes!
...
There are love-dogs
no one knows the names of.
Give your life
to be one of them.
...
Love is like a madman,
working his wild schemes,
tearing off his cloths, running
through the mountains, drinking poison,
and now quietly choosing annihilation
...
I am not a cow, or thistles for camels
to browse on. People who insult me
are only polishing the mirror.
...
wishes may or may not come true
in this house of disappointment.
Let's push the door open
together and leave.
...
There's a path from me to you
I'm constantly looking for,
so I try to keep clear and still
as water does with the moon
...
I am a mountain
you call, i echo.
This image that looks like me
was painted by the Friend.
You think I'm speaking these words?
When a key turns in a lock, the lock
makes a little opening sound
...
Many things must be left unsaid, because it's late,
but whatever conversation we haven't had
tonight, we'll have tomorrow."
-Rumi, from the text "Say I Am You"
