Welcome: First Post.

This slogan could fit many places, but it especially fits Los Angeles.

So I have a lot of thoughts, and I thought it was time to write them down and share them on the most democratic platform in the history of mankind, the internet. My girlfriend also encouraged me to start writing as an outlet for my frustrations, and I thought it was a great idea. I am also going to use this blog as a jumping point to sell artwork and other goodies when I’m ready and have a following, so fair warning.

Anyway, welcome! I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to put in my first post, so I guess I’ll begin by painting with large strokes. A little background on me: I am a 30 year old man who lives in Los Angeles and loves it. And hates it. It’s both. It’s really true: LA is a sunny place for shady people. There is a lot LA has to offer in amenities and a high standard of living. There is always a lot to do, no matter what you like to do, and it’s a wonderful outdoor city. Then again, it is a city full of city problems, namely crowding and congestion. And the crime that comes with the ability to be anonymous. It is a melting pot with a lot of cultures and ethnicities which adds a richness to the cultural fabric. On the flip side this also leads to a lot of bigotry and racism. There really are two sides to every coin.

I am an artist, I have been since I was 2 years old. I love making art, and I would love to be a fine artist for a living. This is no easy task, however, so one must work elsewhere to survive. I work at accounting at a talent agency as well as make websites on the side. Speaking of which, I had better finish a splash page that I started and close this post.
