"During quarantine I started a series called primitive portraits, drawings done in crayon and pencil of artists who’ve had influence in my life. Just as covid began its pillage in the States I was coming off a west coast tour and had plans of spending time upstate to relax and decompress. Then boom- covid went full throttle and I found myself up here, no reception, no internet, no books, no records, no instruments. So I picked up a pack of crayons at the supermarket as a saving grace to connect me back into avenues of remedial creation. Crazy how a thirty minute daily routine can bring you solace and healing as powerful as meditation. Not only was that inspiring but also reconnecting to my deepest roots in art- drawing. The place where creating began for me- and using the same medium (crayons), was kinda wild. Anyway, that’s a long enough description for sharing these crude drawings, but ya know what, who cares."
