When I was in high school, I had an incredible English Lit teacher, Mr. Kohl. I’ve always liked to read and I pretty much have always bought into any form of mythology possible whether it is fairy tales, classic lit, comic books, or sci fi. I think for a long time I loved the escapism [...]

Today is my last day of the semester.  The past few weeks my students have been tired and grumpy but as I’ve been sending off my groups, I’ve been a little sad and in a little way wish it wasn’t over.  It’s funny about the group dynamic- I sometimes get the same students back for [...]

There are those points in time where you need a little push.  Sometimes it comes in a deadline, sometimes an epiphany, and sometimes in a shifted perspective.  I think I may be at one of those points where I hope and need a little push. I’m going to be frank with you.  In the studio, [...]
