Mike Knapp from the Mosi Museum in Tampa contacted me the other day to get permission to use a digital image of "Depression's Mirror" in one of their exhibits. I was thrilled, of course! I gave him permission and sent him a hi-res image. He said they are going to blow it up to 6' tall and it will be hanging next to a self portrait by Van Gogh and Munich's "Scream".

This exhibit is about mental health issues and educational in nature so it is for a very good cause. I will post photos after he sends me photos of the exhibit which will be in March.

Every so often I search for "d lane taylor" just to see what pops up and couldn't believe it when I came across this!

Dream on Conservapedia

Hi kids, I'm painting again but taking it slow.  I do have new paint on a canvas!  Excited about that.

One other thing I do to try and balance out the way I feel inside is to create music.  I use Steinberg Sequel and Cubase Studio to accomplish this.

Journey to Androg

If anyone takes a listen feel free to let me know your thoughts.

The last painting I completed was in December of 2007.  A year and a half ago! I haven't created any music either during that time.  In fact I didn't do anything other than stimulate my brain with an obsession with World of Warcraft.  I got hooked pretty bad.

A couple of weeks ago I suddenly looked at my computer monitor and felt like something wasn't right.  I then looked around my messy apartment and then stood up and stepped away from my computer.  I went and looked at myself in the mirror.  It was sad.  I had let myself waste a year and a half of my life and it looked like I had aged 5 years.

So I am back in reality and more excited than ever to start creating again.  I am going to get some painting materials this weekend and get back in the saddle.

There are a lot of new things I have discovered about myself lately and am reflecting on this as well as how it relates to my art and it is starting to make a lot more sense to me.  I think...maybe.  

I will post photos as things unfold!
