No posts lately because I’ve not found any reliable wifi, and I’m gearing up to cross the desert, but LOTS to come soon. In the meantime, if you can find it in your heart, please continue to pray for me, and if you can find it in your wallet, please hit the donate button at the bottom of this page.

The Speare Bearer

ARTISTS! Do you ever worry...?
Do you ever worry that you just end up making work for other artists?
… In these hotbed areas that are just saturated with art, and other artists, do you ever worry that you’re completely out of touch with NORMAL people? Dishwashers, people who work at factories/plants, nurses, cab drivers, short order cooks, grocers, receptionists, plumbers, ranchers, teachers, bankers, people who...
