on the plate

twenty twelve will begin with an opportunity that sets fire to my burning fire. it will be a month of plotting, planning, and executing the next step in the Ghosts and Hopes project. instinctually, when i have “spare time,” or time in the studio, i paint, plain and simple. but, following through with this massive project will require me to don my business suit (really, there is no suit,) and put together some meetings and get investors to sign on to back this Work. i like business, but my career has not granted me the opportunity to dive deep into my abilities in that field, but, here at the beginning of the year, those opportunities stare at me with fierce eyes. i have a strong stare and bull horns; i am prepared.
