Back again.

Ok Ive been away for awhile because of some personal issues. All I can say is that life can throw some wicked curves balls but I must admit Im part of the problem too. But this blog is not about the crappy,its about the awsome and thats what Im going to focus on. Now alot of people know that I work at one of the casinos in Shreveport and for almost a year now Ive been doing drawings almost everyday and I have accumulated alot of work that I cant wait to show. I really cant describe it thematicly. The best I can tell you is that it is impulsive,using the environment objects and people to create a subconscious text. But you will see for yourself soon, so check back periodically to see what Im doing......Peace

The Cocktail Waitress

What is drawing to me? Well for me it's setting down and really seeing life around me without any judgement and then letting my imagination run wild ,but on the other hand I don't want to be so wild that I'm the only one enjoying what I do. So it's important for me that other viewers have a small bit of understanding too. What I have here is a small composite sketch of a cocktail waitress alone with her worries and reasons. And there's a look there, but I wouldn't call it sadness, but more like burdened and weary from the daily mental toil of the constant worring about life's pressing needs.

Let the good times roll!!!

The casino industry is big business here in Shreveport,Louisiana they employ over 10,000 people in the city and thats not including venders and other support companies, it's literally a city within a city! I can't help but to be impressed by this operations shear size and complexity and its enormous impact on Shreveport-Bossier area, no matter what I think about gambling. Aside from that, I'm interested in the sutleties of it's employes,(my co-workers) Some hate it some love it and theres always people inbetween. I'm espeically interested in the guest that come and play here. I'm not trying to speculate why people feel the way they do are or behave in this mannor or that. In this environment, I could care less. I want to embrace that environment and energy, as it is. And its all good if channeled right, whatever it is. As part of the documentation of my soul journeys I'm compelled to create imagry that speaks about my relationship to this unque southern experience! "Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!!!!!"
