My creativity creeps out of my door and must pass through the dark and deep parts of my mind before it can be release. It is then expressed in a more cheerful and optimistic way, since my joy surrounds my mind.
On YouTube, I do have a playlist dedicated to sped up paintings. I also my painting portfolio and other Visual Art Writings.
In late January 2021, I published my poetry book Garden of Poems. It is filled with poetry from 2013-2020. Pen Poem is one of the excerpts from the book.
Pierce me with your ink filled sword, force your words to linger as they twist inside, because murder is never sweet, unless it's in the mind causing a new reality to live. So murder my mind with words of wonder. Let the sharp bladed images of your prose or verse slice out the mundane, so that I may live among your ink until the new understandings take hold and I am reborn with new light into a new life.

Do you see? Can you feel the beginning of spring? The air is warming. The earth under our feet is waiting patiently for the rain. The trees and bushes are excited for the flowers. They know groth is coming their way. Oh, what relief and joy will come from the beautiful warm rain. They sky will open for the ground the earth will welcome it in. A new life will start.

Tick tock goes the clock as the waves rolls in time may fly or time may stop the waves crashes on the shore either way. Tick tock goes the clock as the sun shines on time may fly or time may stop the sun will heat the sand either way. Tick tock goes the clock it's far far away time may fly or time may stop we won't pay attention either way.

Title: Differences

Medium: Acrylic paint on stretched canvas
Year completed: 2017

This is an older painting of mine that I painted in 2017. I was feeling lonely, so I went to my paints. You’ll notice that this painting has 5 blue flowers, 5 bees, and then 1 large red rose. The rose doesn’t have her bee though. It seemed like everyone was paired off except for me. That doesn’t mean that I won’t bloom and that doesn’t mean that the painting should be sad. It is a simple fact, which is why the background is so bright and cheerful.

Title: Flowers and Hearts Portrait
Medium: acrylic on canvas
Size: 8 inches by 10 inches
Year Painted: 2020
My “Flowers and Hearts Portrait” painting started out as the actor Zachary Levi but then I got the nose wrong and the painting went a different direction. It was fun to paint and when I didn’t like how a few areas came out I just added some happy little flowers and hearts to make it a complete painting.

Ice cream was a big part of my childhood and part of my adulthood for that matter. My family will get it on summer vacations and whenever I’m visiting I’ll go to the local Ice cream shop. When I was in middle school I would meet my friend there and get some ice cream before we went on some other adventure. I have a lot of wonderful memories around ice cream, so thought it would be wise to share my love in poem form.
Summer days with their warm breezes brings to me sweet memories of delicous, wonderful ice cream. When the air is hot, when the air is cold, I partake in the loving treat. The taste of sugary cream reminds me of wonderful days carefree and filled with love. Whether bought on the side of the street or made with love and our own hands smiles would blossom and bloom. Joy and happiness always will come around When the smell of ice cream is in the air.

This was a fun painting to do. It started off as a pour painting and then I used how the paint came out to make a scene. The girl is dreaming of her dream guy that shares the painting with her.

Back in 2015, I wrote a monologue called “Artist” I then performed and recorded it. That video is posted on YouTube, but you can find it below also. Along with the orginial monologue.
I want to boldly tell you; I am an artist. I’m sure you already knew that or at least suspected. I mean how can anyone really hide their creativity? I know I’ve tried to hide or ignore my creative side, wanting to be normal. I yearned for a quiet mind that could simply observe the world and did not have a need to share its beauty.
Yes, there was a time I wanted to be normal, but not any more. An ordinary life in no life for me and if it seems like my life is just like yours ask me what I’m thinking about. For you see I have worlds and universes living in my head. My mind is filled with lands of poetry, worlds of paintings, and many stories in many different universes. They are all just waiting to be created.
When I am at my day job tapping the keys of my computer part of my mind may be trapping dragons to get to the keys of a prison to rescue some royalty. While I’m driving home I am most likely also involved in an elaborate love affair that will tragically end when I park my car. If I am watching the sunset I am also memorizing the colors in hopes that I could paint it one day.
You see my mind is not a quiet place most of the time, which now I love. It makes my life extraordinary in an ordinary world. This is why I must boldly tell you; I am an artist. I’m sure you already knew that or at least suspected.

Different Paths is a poem about how there are different options in life. Sometimes it is confusing and you may choose the wrong path but God can and will guide you.
Paths open. They may wind away or lead you home. One may desire you to stay while others push you to go. Only a guide will truly know what is right and what is true, so trust the guide. He will lead you safely home.
