Most of what I do as an artist is just materials science. I play with different materials and see how they respond and interact. I don’t make art to exalt a finished product. I make art as a calculated and regular offering to the muse and the end result is a new thing.

Because of this generalist approach, I don’t have solid fundamentals and a real mastery of anything but I’m finding that expanding one skill or another offers advances to other skills and new opportunities to add something unexpected.

I picked up a pinstriping brush for the first time and made some lines. I used EZ Flow Striping and Lettering enamel, and when the brush is loaded it’s a buttery material and glide that’s almost an addictive sensory experience.
