Home Sweet Home

Artist's Notes:
It is true that an extended contract at a company can make you feel like one of their team after a while. But, come on! How could they possibly think you will miss spending another day with them and another night in some hotel instead of being at home in with friends and loved ones and having a good night sleep in your own bed! My clients surely understand this but never the less I always get the, "Are you going to miss us" goodbye on a regular basis. You just keep on being funny.

Then / Now... Or Vice-versa





Artist's Notes:
Oh how naive we must be to complain about the state of our world today. The truth is that none of these problems in our lives are new. They are just portraying themselves in different ways. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that no matter what the issue is it all stems from the fact that we are not willing to accept our current situations and will either enact or wish to enact change. It is our frustration that keeps us strong and enables us to better ourselves. Embrace it, conquer it and move forward.

Joe's Bed

Artist's Notes:

In case you haven't figured this out yet, I travel a lot. Last year I only spent seven days in a row in my home city four times. It gets exhausting and can pose some real challenges when it comes to sleep. For years I have noticed hotels advertising how comfortable their beds are and always thought that bed comfort seemed like such a small part of the overall hotel experience and wondered why they would pick that to display. But now I know. Also, because you are traveling all the time you feel as though you are working all the time. A nine to five day while you are on the road doesn't exist. However, the one place where I can completely be at peace is in an airplane. God bless the FAA and its rules on cell phone use. That combined with my burned out laptop battery that only lasts a half hour I have no excuse to do work. That's right, flight time is my time. It is great. My inability to work combined with some poor air quality and lack of oxygen puts me out cold every time. To my sister Jen: "Thanks again for the flight pillow."
