So my wife and I are putting this website together, and she said I need an artist statement.  She said that I should tell you something about myself and why I’ve been doing all this embroidery.  

That, of course, would imply that I consider what I’m doing an art.  I’m not too sure that it is or isn’t.

I don’t draw well, and my world view is pretty small.  If you’re looking for some sort of deep, meaningful message, you might try somewhere else.  You may think that I’m an artist, but it’s up to you to call me one.  You didn’t hear it from me.

In reality, I’m just a guy who accidentally found out that he likes to do embroidery and who found a cheap and plentiful canvas material in used neckties.

Sure, I’m branching out into making some decorative patches.  I guess those could be considered some kind of art.

Don’t ask me.  I just make the things.

Here’s what I know.  When I wear my ties out to dinner or to work or whatever, they get noticed and they make people smile.  Sometimes they even ask where I got my tie.

I think that’s cool.

I also play the ukulele.
