The Story:  All those thoughts, body sensations, and negative self beliefs that are making you feel bad and causing you to add self blame on top of it?  They're not even you. 

You're something far more powerful than all those things and they start to become a responsibility and opportunity instead once you realize that.  A responsibility to transmute.  An opportunity to create something beautiful out of shit like the Lotus flower.

It requires thinking like a skateboarder.  The only group of people on the planet who can turn a seemingly mundane curb into a playground, stage, canvas, and temple all at once.

Realizing the marbles aren't yours is just the wax.  The rest is up to you 🤙🏻

Notes: All of the artwork I'm offering for sale is incredibly meaningful to me.  Prices are based on what I would actually consider trading it for.  In this case that's $55,500.

Please know the condition of all of the artwork I'm offering is also imperfect.  They have travelled around the world with me.  Some have been in and out of frames and matte boards.  What you see pictured is their current day actual condition but there may be some imperfections or weathering that cannot be perceived through the photos.  I think it adds to their character and significance but I want to be transparent about that.

Tax and shipping are included in price.  Please contact me if you'd like to pay with a method other than Stripe.

Mahalo.
