“I can’t do it anymore. My spirit is broken. Not only am I a failure of an artist in town, but I am out of state as well. My last 4 or 5 shows have been a disaster. I can’t take the stress and discouraging response anymore. I’m coming to realize I can’t and am not meant to be a successful artist.

Thinking about painting make me sick to my stomach. I don’t even want to pick up my paintings from the galleries. I couldn’t care less what happens to them.

I’m taking a hiatus. Maybe permanently. Who fucking knows.

Thank you so much to everyone on here who has lent me kind words. Unfortunately, the art world doesn’t share your enthusiasm for my work.

I’m broke, crushed and couldn’t care less about my life right now because of art.
“Thank you to everyone who has hit me up with all the support. I appreciate every single comment.

I’m going to take a long needed break from showing and painting. I’m most likely going to work on getting back on track with Josh from Creep Machine.

My self esteem has taken a couple hard hits and I need time to build my confidence back up. I need time to think, because right now, I have no idea what the hell I’m doing.

Word ‘em up.
