The In-Between Years

Moving from Lubbock to Austin Texas was a major Life Event, a substantial cost of living increase that resulted in having to work two jobs to establish a foothold, while also pulling me away from the canvas.

 

But, Creative Energy was not lost. Instead, it only transformed (as energy does) and was redirected; first, into a joint business venture co-founded with my brother (VISIONARY Photo-Graphics); but also, into music (as Faultline For Now).

 

Interestingly then, this moment in my life also turned out to be a litmus test (of sorts) that truly revealed where my passions lie; because, my brother and I made great money as a business duo; and, I absolutely loved the social aspect of being in a band (playing clubs and house parties). And yet... without my brushes and canvas, and, without the smell of turpentine permeating the air in my studio... I always felt like there was a part of me missing; that is, until finally returning home... behind the easel.
