ArtIsT





Every so often, I get into my art.  I give up everything and go into my "art cave." The phone goes off, the vape comes on and I just go at it.  Until now I've never liked what comes out, always wanted to change my "style."  I guess things change, I change, but my style is a constant.  I'm learning to love it though.  Love it like a companion, like a friend.  I have to, we'll be together awhile.

My style started off as change.  In the third grade we learned cursive, and I was hyper-active.  My teacher switched my seat around a lot and the desks were in rows of two.  I always took notice of the handwriting of the kid next to me.  Serena had a nice flow to her cursive, the kind produced by a fluid wrist.  Tony had nice round bubble letters girly but proud. I adapted their letters into my own.  If I had know better then, I would've seen the makings of a graffiti artist, but life is funny, and it took years.

Change is hard, but it happens.  Sometimes changing is an art form all by itself.
