i started this a year ago today. happy sept 11. i've obviously had a hard time keeping up with the whole blogging concept. i've been keeping busy with work and painting, which seem to be the only things that keep me going on a consistent basis.
sf living is slowly taking it's toll on me. my road rage on my bike flares without warning. my annoyance with customers has reached a plateau. rent is high. the city is loud. but not all is bad. this is an entertaining and interesting place to live. there is usually something to do. i've met lots of exciting people. gone to cool shows. biked some hills. absorbed some culture which my hometown in the valley lacked. life is good overall. and there's the fog, which i love. even during the summer.

my new thing to do is to paint pictures of friends without asking them if it's ok first. it's not to con them in to buying a painting, but rather a way to be excited and secretive about an idea and it's relatively easy to come up with a subject. so i'll be posting pictures of those paintings here.
