Never ending struggle

I was reminded by a friend of mine Eric Vance Walton and others that even though I still feel like fourteen years of my was taken away from me because of congesti8ve eheart failure . God has given me a new life filled with hope physical strength to create artwork that I so badly wanted to give to society . We here and see so many negative things , negative actions . There is a strong sense of people being disconnected from each other . My vision is to get people to relate to each in a nonviolent way . We have more in common as human beings then we give our selves credit for . So paintings like Just A F&ckin Number and future artwork will touch on what is going on in this world good, bad , happiness, sorrow , l will also talk about the joy of teaching beginning cartooning to elementary students the wonder in their eyes and the positive energy l get from them . For years l have been quiet and not as assertive as artist could be . I guess I had excepted the fact my independence was over because l had heart failure . My art career was over it art was just a hobby, some people who said they cared about me wanted me to just keep it that way . How and the HELL CAN YOU SAY THAT TO SOMEONE WHO VERY BEING IS DOING ART THAT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD ! So l say to those people you want to live a life where you don't make a difference than go ahead . That's you're choice ! BUT UNDERSTAND THIS ! MY ARTWORK IS NOT SOMETHING I DO FOR A DAMN HOBBY IT IS MY VERY SOUL ! If you can't respect that than stay out of my way ! I will be fifty eight years old September 18 with new heart and a second chance to produce pictures of passion and imagination ! Nothing and no one's going to hold me back anymore . One more thing l didn't mention l will be teaching beginning pen and ink drawing classes for adults this fall . Some people might say why ? or have very little response. So l say to them . I teach because I got it what it takes !
