Asis studios

A little throwback to when I was still working on this painting… I actually did finish it — I just never got the chance to take a proper photo of the final piece.

Why? Because at the time, I was so broke I couldn’t pay rent, and my landlord took this painting as payment. A modern-day barter system if you will.

When I finally asked for it back, he told me he sold it because he “wasn’t sure I’d ever pay.” 😭

So now, the finished version of this painting lives somewhere out there… probably hanging above someone’s couch or collecting dust in a storage unit. I’ll never know. But at least it paid the bills.

Here’s to art that saves us in more ways than one.

now it holds something else entirely.
i can’t use it the way i imagined, but i’m still grateful it found its place in this story.
sometimes the room we need isn’t four walls — it’s just a moment of possibility.
