the horizon is eternal

I've always said I'm going to sail around the world one day, a dream to most people and a dream to me as well, however I'm determined to turn this dream into a reality.

I'm reading The Long Way by Bernard Moitessier. One of my many inspirations. A story about a man with nothing but his boat, his mind, and the sea, finding himself and denying society.

"You do not ask a tame seagull why it needs to disappear from time to time toward the open sea. It goes, that's all."




"I am a citizen of the most beautiful nation on earth. A nation whose laws are harsh yet simple, a nation that never cheats, which is immense and without borders, where life is lived in the present. In this limitless nation, this nation of wind, light, and peace, there is no other ruler besides the sea."

Artist Series: Taylor Dodgin

Ah Taylor. This girl is crazy creative, her work is beautifully detailed and mindful. She seems to specialize in colored pencils and pastels, her paintings are amazing as well. She's currently in Design School at NC State studying studio art and I'm sure she's learning and creating all kinds of new and amazing things.

Check her site out HERE

Addicted to Color

Joshua Petker. I discovered this artist not to long ago online and his work influenced me to start painting people. I love the color he uses and the sharpness and detail of the eyes and lips. Definitely my style of work.

Never before seen?

Haven't posted in a while, been working on college stuff [essays, portfolios, etc...] and painting a lot. Here's a couple pics I've dug up in my archives. I'll try to post a few of my paintings soon.

Underwater Base Jumping

Love this video.
A lot of people call this fake, but Guillaume Nery is a world record free diver. The only issue I have with it is that you never see him equalize the pressure in his head.
Regardless this clip reminds me of my dreams
