Dare to carry the burden of the sun. If you opened your mouth and let it rest in your lungs, it would set your tongue aflame– but your words would run with burning liquid gold. It would pool in your pores, sweet dense sheens of sweat, but it would wash away your sins and leave you new, bare and clean. It would press upon your heart like you are Atlas under the eyes of the Gods– a heavier weight than even the sky– but it will teach you to step light. If you carry the burden of the sun, you will see darkest hours. If you revel in your work, you will glow.

What’s your favorite thing about summer? My favorite thing about summer is probably Italian ices, watermelon juice, backyard bbq’s, sunsets, no school, no jackets or warm clothes needed, things in general seem a little mellower somehow.
How do you TAKE FIVE and chill out when you’re not arting? I go on walks, or to a park, or the city and go record shopping.
Do you remember the first pair of Vans you ever had? So my very first pair of Vans for me was the original low tops. In the original colorwave -blue red blue in 1978. I then had blue gold blue. I had a pair of the Stacey Peralta style 36 we called’em Peraltas in royal blue now called old school Skate Hi’s or something, but mine were low tops. And I had a pair of gold and black stripes, and then like red ones mostly after that … or sometimes black or navy slip ons. Wore them mostly since I was 6 basically. Always liked them for skating.
Three words to describe what folks should expect tonight? Be ready to get open
Who’s an up and coming artist you are excited about? Hi Dutch and Yuskae Hanai from Japan . Keep your eye on those two . I like a lot of abstract painters too.
