Aaaaand GO!

So here it goes. It's official, I'm a blogger. I've started this blog for a few reasons, all surrounding my recent decision to quit my corporate job in insurance and pursue an art career full-time:

1) To explain my decision to those who might not "get" it.

2) To find a place to showcase my work...

3) Because writing is creative, and it stirs the creative process. I dig it.

4) To provide a guide for OTHERS who might be in the same situation

5) Yeah, pretty much a sounding board.

More later, but a word on the web address (theomail.blogspot.com)...Vincent Van Gogh, arguably WAY crazier than me, had a brother named Theo. Vinny was in the loony bin a lot - he did have that unfortunate ear incident. While he was there, he often wrote to his brother, Theo, to explain himself and his life as a painter and as a human. Go to your local library and look up a biography, I promise you, you'll like it.
