Better to drown in truth than float on a lie
“If you don’t think you’re vital, then you’re a hindrance."
The Cantinian mindset dwells inside us all. It’s how we combat them that either sets us free or keeps us stuck. These were the first characters created in the Leaving the Land of Can’t book series. I didn’t know why or what I was doing at the time, but the concept behind the Cantinians was always that they are creatures whose heart’s eye is blinded by the untrue beliefs that consume their doubting minds. The mouth of the heart is zipped closed, while the doubting mind’s mouth is free to speak lies over oneself. It wasn’t until a sleepless night some months later, when I randomly painted Cashew, that the story of A Nudge from a Nut started to form, and the Cantinians became the primary inhabitants of the Land of Can’t.
I really don’t care
what it is that they have to say.
I’ve walked this road
and can’t get far enough away.
I beg you son,
won’t you please do the same.
This road your traveling
ain’t leaving no one else to blame,
But yourself.
But yourself.
But yourself.
Yeah, yourself.
BE YOURSELF.

The Artist's Journey
What makes an artist, an artist? A willingness to put pen to paper, a brush to canvas.
I allow myself to just let whatever’s inside come out however it feels like coming out. Whether it’s a poem, song, painting, or conversation, I seek to always be as honest as possible. Sometimes, too often, and beyond my understanding, this is offensive…
Don’t let the nothings get in your way.
Better to drown in truth than float on a lie.
