For years, I’ve been pouring my Heart & Soul into my Art: my biggest Gift to the World, my Highest Contribution to Society. Sustaining it takes considerable material resources. If my Art inspires you, I’d be so grateful for your support!

“There’s really no honor in proving that you can carry the entire load on your own shoulders. And…it’s lonely” ― Amanda Palmer, The Art of Asking; or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help

I love Amanda’s book ― she’s so on point! It was a delicious read. And now, I’m referring to it as I’m creating this Donations Page, since it’s the best resource, honestly.

In particular, The Story of Henry David Thoreau creating Walden stayed with me and got etched into my memory:

“Thoreau wrote in painstaking detail about how he chose to remove himself from society to live “by his own means” in a little 10-foot x 15-foot hand-hewn cabin on the side of a pond. What he left out of Walden, though, was the fact that the land he built on was borrowed from his wealthy neighbor, that his pal Ralph Waldo Emerson had him over for dinner all the time, and that every Sunday, Thoreau’s mother and sister brought over a basket of freshly-baked goods for him, including donuts.”

And then, there’s this unforgettable quote: Just take the fucking donuts.
