SUBJECT: AUGUST 12, 2019
One glance at Facebook today and two people post disturbing images of animal cruelty and I feel despair.
We are working away on the 29 Pieces Legacy Project. It's a daunting amount of hours of quiet, methodical work in the studio so to speak.
It's 100% every day. Each day the headlines are full.
