During a time in life when I was unsure about desiring to keep my soul alive. Back then I was just taking a picture of any signage or trees or flowers and then remix them just for therapy to keep from being anxious when around some strangers. Making something personally aesthetic or palatable to my sense of sight helps me divert my fear of strangers to something calming. Always trying to make something that I would like to stare at in awe and wonder and feel for the moment in own life captured in a composition, usually a flashback in my mind comes in if I stare long enough.

In 2016 when I was living at a farm recovering from the internal stigma of psych ward confinement. I would wander at the town square to find a spot to smoke a cig and comfortably watch people walking by and observe. I found a spot and it was a wooden shanty convenience store that also has locks smith service, sharpening grass cutter blades, knives, bolos, nippers and key duplication etc. And the text in here are the actual text painted on a steel standee on the side of the road beside the wooden bench that i would sit all afternoon in to observe.

In 2018 got the original image printed as a 1 x 1.5 inch sticker part of my sticker pack test print editions and also made 10 pcs of 2 x 2 inch button pins.

Here is the original 2016 digital still image I made. Minted March 2020: https://app.rarible.com/token/0x40f14fadea10daab99214368dcde893300ecdbce:2934

*the out takes or so we might call trash images used as layers here will be available soon in this collection, it would help me a lot if you also find something you like in there to get at dust cheap prices:
