Have you ever walked into someone’s house, only to be greeting by the same boring old painting of a sail boat?
Ever been inspired by a piece of art to have that classic “Some weather out there, eh?” conversation?
Ugh.
That just bugs me.
I want the art in people’s homes to bring about authentic reactions, genuine conversations, and barrier free, personality-rich honest relationships. I want there to be unexpected grins, laughter, and ice breaking that doesn’t include “Some weather we’re having, eh?”.
My art is my way of offering up that opportunity.
My work is mostly digital, although I have been known to wield a mean sharpie.
...if you're still reading, you are probably waiting for me to answer this question:
Is your name really “Awesome”?
Yes!
It really is.
Awesome isn’t just my name, it’s my M.O. My way of life. The biggest commitment I’ve ever made.
Awesome is a commitment to myself and to the world. To show up to life in a big way. To live every day as Awesomely as Possibly.
Because… this:
“In the face of such hopelessness as our eventual, unavoidable death, there is little sense in not at least trying to accomplish all of your wildest dreams in life.” – Kevin Smith
Life is short.
I guess you could say I have rebranded my life. Rather than “short,” I like to think of it as “fun sized".
