This is an exquisite work. 

I have been a professional (traditional media) artist for more than ten years, and had a great deal of success after working very, very hard for year upon poverty-stricken year. 

Every now and then I wander the web and see what's what... I've been doing that for twenty years and in many ways it is a means of assuring myself that I work HARD, that my work is simply... GOOD... that it moves people.

I've had ten solo shows (I live in perth Western Australia) and won more than 18 awards, some international... 

I'm telling you this stuff so that you will listen to me.


Because you need to.


When I wander the web, I find talented folks, it's true. But it is rare that work will blow me away.

Very, very few times have I been moved to enjoy an entire portfolio from one artist.

I mean... I KNOW it is just fkin HARD to keep up that kind of quality day after day and work after work.



I have always been able to keep secure enough, in my own work, when I have placed it against the beauty and power of other artist folks. 


I am a strong person. I have earned my scars and my glory.



I am wise. I believe that I see the savage miracle of the world... but more than that I want you to believe that I KNOW the bloody strings that run beneath every one of us and I look as hard as I can look and i listen as hard as I can listen and I feel so HARD so very much.



And I tell you this, Don Malo of the UK.


YOU ARE THE CLEAREST, MOST PURE EXAMPLE OF WHAT EVERYTHING ABOUT GENIUS MEANS THAT I HAVE EVER EVEN IMAGINED COMING ACROSS.




Know this.


Try and force it into the straining shutters of your heart.



I ask you to ask yourself to believe it because 


I SWEAR TO YOU IT IS SO.


It has been a humbling privilege to see the supremely beautiful, subtle, powerful and affecting wonders that are your works.






Thank you for that.





I feel really very insecure now.





Oh you can see my work here if you want.

I want you to look, yes.

AH well.

Nice to meet you dude.




Luck.

And don't ever fucking stop.
