what else do we have if don't have what makes us happy?

i spent some time tonight with pat in his studio in his home, photographing him for his upcoming interview,

i was very jealous of his work space, small, but large enough... lots of inspiration on the walls and in the air for me.

despite the fact i first met pat when i was but a wee teenager, i hadnt really gotten to know him

until the last few years... we have become good friends and his art and passion for rad shit

is a constant

inspiration to me. thanks for your friendship pat and thanks for helping me discover my art. much love.

jai. respect.

two things i believe pat would beat the shit out of anyone for.

never leave home without you...

till we meet again.

i'm working on drawing a straight line.

and i'll draw until i get one right.

its bold and dark, girl cant you see?

i've done drawn the line between you and me.

i been working on my backwards walk
there's nowhere else for me to go
except back to you just one last time
say yes before i change my mind

roll the window down this cool night air is curious...

let the whole world look in... who cares who see's anything... i'm your passenger.

sunday afternoon was a gorgeous autumn day. something out of a shitty novel... i let my bicycle be my tour guide to parts of the city that are someone left unnoticed... i find it rather interesting what you can

come across when you just explore your otherwise familiar surroundings.

in a city with such an diverse cultural heritage and financial tiers you'll never know what you might find.

i did a little soul searching... not like thats anything new....

gang territory. point side apparently runs shit.

pat is a influence to me daily.

believe me, if there wasn't snow 8 months a year i would.

as the sun begins its decent, i couldn't help but wish i was sailing away on a ship with black sails.

forever in my heart.

till we meet again,

burning streets, burning cars, broken glass, broken hearts...

we won't destroy you, no we will not destroy you.

memories of my youth, still dormant at my mothers house. makes me think of the easier days.
my children. minus model kat... i miss her meeus..

the devil made me do it.

gentlemen, chivalry is not dead.

till we meet again,

xoxo,

im gonna follow these cats somewhere south.

will you come with me?

till we meet again.

xoxo
