My Solemn Vow

I promise to keep at making 
art and art-making 
accessible to all, 
and to allowing everyone to realize 
they are creative until
it is so.

This is my vow. I declare who I am and what I am up to in this world. It is solemn, a promise I will live out through the rest of my days. It is how I will show up in every situation, at every time.

I will invite everyone out there to join me in this amazing feel-good soup. They will start showing up with their creativity, happy and joyous to be providers of solutions. Maybe, world peace?

The pages smell really “citrus-y” until they are scanned and digitized. Then, they are more fun and easier to work with.

Here are a few from today:
