Coming to grips with my own mortality
They could be coming at me without just cause
Just because I was born the way I am
The feeling sad to say isn't new to me
It’s one I have had my whole live
The fear sets in once again
The hatred felt so strong
Without cause
Or reason
Just blind
Where is the love
Compassion
Choosing to see our best in others
Uplifting
Growing
Healing the great divide

I am extremely excited to take this time and be able to chat with y'all. My crazy knowledge is from all over the place so thank you so much. There is also a fan art contest on the way so keep your eyes open!

Hey fam wassup🖤 So what was your very first medium and how you feel today thinking about your firts piece?
The "first" medium that I can as a child or "adult" TBH it'd been so long. I'm curious what my first actual piece was. As a child I painted on premade clay pieced, finger painted to create artwork and of course my crowning achievement that got recognized in about first grade was a felt clown with a flower that shot water it was all 2D cutouts yet the teacher was so impressed it was put up for a class exhibit. As I grew my parents found outside classes so I could learn to paint and use acrylics. We had images as references and I still love the feeling of cleaning brushes its a dirty job yet the paint is so squishy. When I got to high school all I wanted to do was take photographs and was so lucky to be in the age of the darkroom era.
Aww this is so sick fam🫠🖤 You’ve been creating since forever so cool✨🫂
who are you? how do you identify yourself and what? what resonates with your core? what makes you feel alive? what are you here to do? what is what comes to your awareness when you ask yourself, who am i?
LOL you are great and know that. Asking the hard-hitting questions here JP. I'm here to create and just live in the moment when I can. Channel my higher self to seek out wisdom in the here and now. I just am and hope to change the world in some way so we all can share it together.
what are you doing when you feel that this is more fluid/clear/sincere? how does it feel in your body?
You've been an artist for over 3 decades Beautiful Do you feel art in general has lost its value over the years? If yes, can you give your 2 cents on this... especially from your experience :)

What’s your favorite musical piece?
ooh can you clarify as in what I have made or in general?
What you’ve made?
Hey how did you get to know the world you were in in the first place?
I'm a little lost on this question can you please explain it a bit more. Thanks.
I mean how did you get into the art field that you are in now?
Any tips for me so I don't go down the wrong path and waste time learning about it?
Any path you choose you will learn from. Some folx find ways with tools that I still get lost on. Best way is to find ways of trying free options to see if it suits your needs.
Thanks for the tips
what device / software do you use for making your art?
For my AI, digital paintings, photography or other?
Roughly for everything, do you do that at home? What kind of equipment do you have?
How do you decide which medium to use for each project
Since I tend to do AI it's more when the mood strikes to switch things up or I acquire more materials I want to play with. Painting and charcol takes the most prep work and thought behind when and where.
Want to say something to those who are very serious about art but are not getting support?
Big or small we all have our journeys in this life. When it comes to a time where we all feel down remember that we can choose to start a new year at any second and continue to create artwork that we want to see in the world. It's okay if you don't chase trends be true give yourself time and grace to realize that as long as you can spark emotion and joy in just one other person that can create a long lasting effect. It only takes one.
