Harrell Fletcher: What makes something—a piece of art, a film, a book, a bowl of soup, a song, a walk—really good, in your subjective view? Maybe the question is, if you had a set of things that you considered good, like the list in the previous sentence, is there a quality that they share that makes you like them? Or is the goodness different in each case?
July: I think there are a few categories of cross-genre good, but here is my favorite: At first you hate it. And then suddenly you expand, you grow, and the book, the bowl of soup, the song, the walk, becomes a prized thing—the first example of your new, smarter self.
...from the miranda july interview in interview magazine
i am a really big miranda july fan.
if you are unfamiliar with her... you should go buy "no one belongs here more than you" right now... GO!

current inspiration from my desktop....
today is my friday, and i have almost completed one full week of work. sigh. its been a long week. its hard to readjust after sitting around for three weeks. its been good though, and tattooing has been extra fun. feeling a little short on inspiration and still overwhelmed by my to-do list, but hopefully afer this weekend things will fall together.
alright... im gonna try to get on some drawing...

organizing my house.
finding my studio.

wolf ghost
in an odd turn of events, a white wolf dog showed up, sniffed justin, blessed our wedding, and disappeared into the night. i wouldnt have believed it if this picture didnt exist.
