“Art is application. Not only the application of different mediums on different surfaces, but an application of one’s self, one’s identity, one’s agenda, one’s situation, one’s environment, one’s discourse, one’s perception, one’s deception, one’s understanding, one’s fears, one’s aspirations, one’s contemplations, one’s coherence, one’s visions, one’s dreams, one’s reality, art is an application.”

Hi Jeff:
Just took a virtual tour of your recent art work – very bold! Thom just texted me he got a plane ticket for Thanksgiving so we will all be together in Long Beach Nov. 26th – 29th. Can’t wait! Maybe we can play that game of golf together we missed last summer (someone’s birthday is right around then??) See you in a few weeks. Dad
Yo Jeff,
Just letting you know that I’ve finally finished making my damn web-site:
http://www.scoopbrancis.com
The videos are hidden somewhere.
I didn’t know that the whole web-thing (html, css, java, flash, etc…) were so complicated. I got so tired of, I was about to chop my laptop into two.
Btw, your site looks so tight!! How did you do it!?
Love the latest video. Wish to see the painting process from multiple different angles next time.
Peace,
S. Brancis
Hi Jeff. It was wonderful to see you today. I couldn’t be more proud of your successes and what you’ve clearly made of yourself. As your former fiffth grade teacher, I take full resposibility for the gifts of writing and artistic expression you now own! Seriously, I’ve always believed you were a remarkable kid, and now it’s evident to all (even if you let me down in the 2010 Olympics!).
BEST wishes, Jeff. Your art is beautiful, especially the paintings.
