Drifting
Soft color. Gas bags. What needs to be said? Balloons make me smile. Soft, pastel colored pictures make me smile. These pictures make me smile.

Hey Tomorrow
Sometimes pictures aren’t really about things so much as they are about what they make the viewer feel. I was playing around with layering when suddenly I smiled. This picture was on my monitor. It helped me feel lighter. I was talking with a friend of mine about what art in general did for the…
