I have been reorganizing and re-evaluating my studio and beyond. Music has been quite helpful through out all of this change. Below is an audio/music summer mix I just made, I titled it: Be Water, Be an Anchor.

Work in progress: new Corner-rings work

As stated on a recent Holistic For Play podcast (episode 2) I have started a new production from the Corner-rings series. I am very curious about the lighting/shadow effect, it should inform the painting on the plank in a much different way than the past Corner-rings works.

Studio - rhythm, environment, and music

I have received a few questions about my studio set up, and what I think it actually entails. In upcoming posts I'll share more on how my studio functions.

I will start with what is a part of the milieu  (the environment). Music is more or less a constant in my studio. I love all music in all of its forms, from around the world; but do tend to gravitate towards certain styles and types in my studio. Below is a small sampling of music tracks played in the studio.

Please note all of the files are directly linked to the musicians and/or their distribution companies. Most tracks are able to download free of charge as well.
