Psyche on Display + Bears


so... recently the state of florida decided it needed to allow bear hunting to stem the population growth... personally i think people are more of a problem with our continual sprawl and cementing of habitat... so i've been working on some pro-bear posters...  which brings me to my real thought of the day which is how at a recent art festival that i participated in, i noticed that some artists display their skill and some display their psyche...  obviously i'm one of those latter ones that put my beliefs and passions and uncertainties in my work for all to see, vs. art that is more decorative in nature.  Not everything i make is filled with meaning, sometimes it is just fun to make an octopus or a jack-o-lantern... but always my subject matter is near and dear to me...
