Remember how 2015 and 2016 got eaten up by disease? 2017 brought an even worse one! I wrote about it here, and about what kind of work it inspired. TLDR: It turned out that I had stage 3 breast cancer and treating cancer is just as bad as you think it is (worse). Life is a hell of a trip and I'm enjoying the ride even if it is bumpy as hell. The whole thing gave me a chance to get back to my roots, drawing patterns about how pissed off I am. That's where the new Patterns instagram account comes from (samples of my drawings) and the very entertaining swearing patterns website I set up at secretbean.com. It is filled with info and links to stores where items adorned with my insane swearing patterns can be purchased. It makes me very happy.
I wonder what 2018 will be like...?
