My dad thinks I’m a bonafide tech guru. When I was little, my mom used to tell me “everything is relative” Her favorite example was an ant. It’s teeny tiny compared to an elephant but pretty darn big if you’re comparing it to a grain of sand. I can definitely show my dad how to […]

At the end of the painting, I run a clean brush against a few of the edges. I want to blur the lines and erase a little. It’s interesting to decide what stays crisp and what […]
