I’m Still Here.

The surgery was a success and now I’m at the beginning of a rather long recovery again. 

Recovery is more than physically healing, it is a mental, emotional and spiritual process. After one week in the hospital I had healed well enough to go home. Being in my home with my wife and our sweet dogs felt like a dream, one that I wish will never end. 

In addition to rest, I want to use this time to help my brain recover. I’ve had so many surgeries since 2012 that I feel like my memory and mental abilities have also been injured. So every day I will be spending time reading, writing, drawing and playing guitar. I need to stretch these mental muscles.

Yesterday I started working on art concepts my buddies in the band Lucifari, who will be writing new music. I’m very excited to hear what they come up with next.

The image shown in this article is based on key phrases given to me by Michael Atkinson (Band leader for Lucifari). The point of the image is not to be final art, but Michael will use it as inspiration to help focus his musical vision. I will continue to meet with him and produce more inspiration images and at a later point final packaging art will be created.

Stay tuned for more as I work through my healing.
