Visual Art – Oklahoma City

I\'m a painter, musician, writer, and legendary squanderer of money. I quit my job as an elementary school teacher last year because I started to believe that painting portraits all day would be infinitely more satisfying than working with children. I was relieved when I discovered I was right. I paint faces, cities, and trees, in that order, and for two reasons: one, they\'re the most beautiful things in the world. Two: I don\'t know how to paint anything else and have never tried. I made my first painting about four years ago. I have never been to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Riding a bike didn\'t used to make me tired, but it does now. My sports trivia prowess can only be described as \"freakish\". Snakes don\'t really bother me, but I wouldn\'t hold a frog if you put a pistol in my mouth. When I was a little kid, I remember being the fastest runner in my grade. Then, sometime between kindergarten and now, I became kind of a subpar athlete and never won another race. I\'m still getting over it. I didn\'t really care for \"Scarface\". There is a window between a couple beers and a couple beers too many when I could probably beat you at pool. I\'m gradually beginning to accept the fact that my chest hair has just taken over. My dog can climb trees. Seriously. I be to rap what key be to lock.
