HOLD YOU

18″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Oak Tag

 

I will hold you, I will will never let you go. I will hold you, tighter than you know. I will hold you, look deep into your eyes. I will hold you, to sooth you when you cry. I will drop all expectations to help you reach your dreams. I will hold your hand when life feels harder than it seems. I will listen to every word you have to say. I will be there to guide you, but not get in your way. I will hold you, I will love you. I will hold you forever in my heart. I will hold you so so so tight. I cannot wait… to start.

THIRSTY

8.5″ x 11″ Pen on Paper

 

Last drop out the cup of the coldest water you were no more. Looking out of different eyes to see the daggers thrown. Words turned into whispers into blood. Pain that the brightest sky couldn’t cure. But the sun will always rise. It will always rise. Blood into whispers turned into words. Pulled knives from the heart let the blood flow out. Fill the cup so full it overflows onto the ground. He comes to your side. He lifts you up. Turns blood into water and you are reborn. Lift yourself up from off the ground. Find the strength. Find the fight. Find the way. Find the light. Drink from the cup. Get back up.

PALM AT DAWN

24″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Wood

Wake up look out the window, see some palm trees. Start the stove, heat the water I need to make my coffee. Grab a book as the sun comes up, turn the page of a new day. Listen to the sweet songs the birds sing and what they say. Head out the door with a board under my arm. Hope that the waves don’t cause too much harm. Sun on my back wind in my hair. Seems like yesterday that we were up in the air. Hot patacones y gallo pinto. Banana mango smoothie with ice to go. Travel through the hills in the north country. Taking in the sites that were there to see. Miss the lazy days that we got to share. Can’t believe it’s been two years since we were there. Atlantic to Pacific all in one day. I know we’ll meet up again in some way.

VERSES

18″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Oak Tag

 

Been liking the writing that comes out with the art. Never planned on this happening from the very start. These words just keep coming from somewhere in my mind. They cannot get lost in there or left behind. I love this world that is happening. I love not having all the answers. I love to write these verses. Love is all that matters. This project is on a road that will end. Through it I’ll have made some art and friends. Trying to give the gift of my gift. Trying to lift the ones that have slipped. Know that I’ve got a long way to go. This is verse one of so many more…

UNDER THE MOON

36″ x 60″ Mixed Media on Canvas

 

Sometimes I sit under the moon and think we must be here for a reason. Another year passes and we change with the seasons. Try not to mistake these signs for chance. Try to follow the rhythms of their dance. Don’t get frustrated by the same old routine. Read between the lines and find out what they mean. Your future could be looking right into your eyes. Don’t get too mixed up and make yourself go blind. These things have been written, they are part of your path. Brush off all the people that sit back and laugh. They know not what to do with this opportunity. They missed all the signs, they just don’t see. Take this world, take it in your hands. Take this world and fill it with your plans. You are they one that holds the key. Only you can unlock your destiny.

WHITE WATER

7″ x 15″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

Surrounded. Gasping for air in a giant washing machine filled with foam. Which way is up? Which way is down? Getting tossed around like a rag-doll in the mouth of a pit-bull. You have no control. Just when you finally pop out another set rolls in. This time worse than the last. Try to roll with it. Don’t panic. You’ll make it through this. When you do, you’ll paddle back out and try it again. Have no fear. Be Strong. Face the day. Be the wave.

WHEN I CRY

11″ x 15″ Prismacolor & Sharpie on Watercolor Paper

 

Tears of happiness, love, joy.  I cry for you, for life.  Tears of pain, sorrow, fear.  I cry for you, for life.  When the positive vibes get me.  I cry for the world, for life.  When the negativity surrounds.  I cry for the world, for life.  Don’t worry it will all be okay.  Don’t worry it will all make sense.  When I cry…

FOR THE MASSES

12″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Omega Bond

He does it for the people, for the masses, for the Earth. He does it trying to tell us what this life is really worth. He sings for the people and they sing along. He sings for the masses and they chant his songs. Songs of life, self-worth, and positive things. Songs of freedom, slowing down and seeing everything. He does it trying to help rewrite the book. He does it so that you’ll stop and take a look. He sings for the love inside you and I. He sings for the souls of the most high. Songs of dreams becoming reality. Songs for the masses. Songs for you and me.

CLOSED MY EYES

8″ x 10″ Mixed Media on Canvas

 

Close my eyes see the holes in the sky. Close my eyes and wonder why. Close my eyes to remember your face. You are missed, I was crushed when you left this place. Ten years in life never seemed so fast. Ten minutes in the end seemed to last and last. Close my eyes wish I could have done more. Wonder everyday what you had to go for. Gave you my breath, but it just wouldn’t take. Pounded on your chest, but you just wouldn’t wake. Look up at night see the holes in the sky. Close my eyes and I wonder why. Close my eyes hope all is okay. Close my eyes… know we’ll meet again… someday.

BE YOU

12″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Omega Bond

 

Worry too much about what they think. Can’t taste that good, the Kool-Aid they drink. Follow the crowd, get lost in the mix. Brainwashed by others, might never get fixed. Beware of the wolves dressed up in sheep clothing. Beware of fitting the molds that their molding. TV’s got your mind and remotes you control. Feel trapped by the system, there’s no letting go. Don’t be afraid to step out in the rain. Don’t be afraid of the change and the pain. Challenge of life can only make us stronger. Challenge of life will make us live longer. Not a product just stuck on the shelf. Get up, stand up, just be yourself.

MY LOVE

12″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Omega Bond

 

Give you my heart, my soul and everything I am. Every line, every dot, every drop of paint from the can. Let you in, try to give you a little piece of me. Bare my soul in my work hoping you can see. Loving the response, the likes and checking them everyday. Your feedback, your words and what you have to say. Filling your home with my emotions on your walls. Someday to be passed down to hang in your kid’s halls. This project has grown into more than just mine. For you or a friend there has become something to find. To come back to… To enjoy… To take with you… To give to someone else… To love. Thank you…

CONFRONTATION

24″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Wood

Just when you thought you couldn’t take no more. They want to start up with another pointless war. Invade a country and make them like us. Close your eyes shut your mouth and get on the bus. But it’s just another war that can never be won. Take another life by the bullet in your gun. Makes us look as if we are doin’ this for fun. They can try and hide, but they’ll never out-run. We only get to hear about what the media shows. Innocent lives lost, how many? Who knows? Power down the screen and go about our day. Not really caring what their people have to say.

Now how can we keep going on like this? Another dead body is a family member missed. These wars just cannot go on anymore. Half of us know not what we’re fightin’ for.  Please just stop we can’t take it anymore. So yell it if you’re with me WE DON’T WANT ANOTHER WAR.

JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER

24″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Wood

Take her hand, never let it go. Give her the world, everything you know. Take her heart, never let it break. Pure and fragile, life’s what’s at stake. Uncontrollable, who she’ll turn out to be. Give your guidance, worry not she will see. Your knowledge is something to embrace. To take with her in this great big place. Grow up fast right before your eyes. Wake up one day and realize. Mama’s influence means so much. Mama’s love, Mama’s touch. She’ll look back, never let it go. She’ll pass on everything she will know. She’ll be like you, just wait you’ll see. Just like you, I hope she’ll be.

STICKS & LOCKS

18″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Oak Tag

 

Him look skinny bro. Is him eatin’ enough? Him look shaggy too. Why him lettin’ da beard a-grow? Him a rasta mon, is him now? Rollin’ ina de herb fields pickin’ ganja out. Sing a reggae song ‘n’ hum de tune. From when-a de sun come up till him see de moon. Beat of de drum make-a him move him feet. Sun, it be shinin’ ‘n’ de weather is sweet. Him locks be-a blowing ina de wind. ‘N” him singin’, him sing it ‘n’ bring it again.
