Sorry to hear about your family situation. Mine was totally the opposite: I'm my father's #1 and only son and my uncles were all very welcoming and supportive and shit like that. Funny, though, I'm taller and bigger than my father and I work out ... yet, he considers my being an Artist to be ... poncy. My father and uncles all hunt and scuba dive and my father, in particular, likes to waterski. I hate cold water; I hate being in it. Especially when its murky, salty, and filled with clam cum and fish shit. We had an inground, heated pool, my uncles have pools ... close to kitchens and bathrooms. And no jellyfish sliding up your swimtrunks and stinging you on the arse! But whatever ... I'm not outdoorsy enough, so my father's kind of distant. But David ... when I look at the works of Sir John Everett Millais, Eugène Delacroix or Frank Kupka, even ... I know I am on The Golden Path. Let my story inspire you. I know it does me ...
