Starting Winter in the Face

Over the course of several weeks, We've been dumped on, here in Michigan, Cubic tons of snow litter the street and pile along 696 where the empty lot sits between Woodward and Royal oak.   The studios heater blazes warm while I type, the hot green tea a minimal comfort, friends have been lost this season, Colleagues moved, and things have changed.  Not so much for the worse dear reader, but things sure feel hot to the touch.   A calm day is not so much found here, distractions and the words of allies, ring all around, causing unrest.   We share the winter, but some lives are warmer than others, Helping out at the Warming shelter at church for the homeless warms my heart for the love I do see in my life, but we constantly strive for more, finding dissatisfaction often. often unreasonably so, pressing our expectations on others.  My hope for this season is the winter finds you warm with your passions and hearts ablaze with the thoughts of the coming spring.

      Old photos litter the late nights over scotch and ice, the green green photos over the year take me back to the long nights I spent with all the folks down in Detroit, Royal Oak, Ferndale, Westland, and all over!  Over the year theres been a lot of talk about the upcoming changes, and the current changes happening already with the diplomatic and government offices.  The emergency manager situation in full effect, While the creative community counters with plans for increased problem solving and efficiency in all areas.   Were looking forward to the future, Friends, Buying homes, investing, turning up the volume on dinner parties and the workout music, bettering themselves, and others.
  It seems we've got a flow going here and looking forward is exactly what the city needs.   As for me, I'm plugging along, the studio continues to slowly grow and increase it's reach while studies and product development continue.

            Stay inspired Detroit Metro, and don't let yourself be ruined by failures or dissapointments of other, the world is broad and there is much to be appreciated, whether it's the green eyes of a best friend, or the blue skies of another day, "living the dream".

HOT BLOOD WINTER


The Months Have been Fair and fortunate to the Studio of late, and The friends come and go as one can expect.  For the coming season, We look towards a spring sun to redeem our souls and smiles from the grasp of winter. the weather not so much the problem, but the hearts of men that harden and dry when the sun leaves.
  Coming up well Explore the ideas of metal and fabrication as they relate back to the studio and the life of the artist.  Sculpture, casting, statues, and metal have always been of interest, and I look forward to exploring them further.
 This Blog will be a continuation of the past writings on wordpress and other social media outlets.  WE hope you can follow us for.. "The Ride"  ;)

New stories soon,
