Ronald Jenkees is back

"When I was your age we walked 5 miles to school in the snow in snow up to our knees." " When I was in college we had to type our papers on typewriters and if we made a mistake we had to use white out to correct the mistakes and it never worked and made us sick in the process." These are the types of things our parents said to us and we now say to our kids and younger siblings.

These types of statements are funny yet true. Things most definitely have changed and they always do. What amazes me is how technology makes everything sooooooooooo immediate. Humans have always built the future on a foundation laid in the past, but now we can actually witness this process in action.

Awhile back I introduced you guys to a super talented musician named Ronald Jenkees. Then I showed you a video a talented visual artist did using his music. Now another musician has done a virtual jam session where he takes a Ronald video and original composition and "jams" with him as tho they were together in the same room.

I love the power of the internet to make the world a much smaller and more intimate place. There's something kind of comforting about that to me on a cold fall night here alone in my studio. After all the purpose of my art is to demonstrate the reality that we are one or as my boy Adam Irby often says "we are all much more alike than we are different." Images can and do create a perceived reality. I'm out to use them for the common good.

You hip hop or soul music heads may not dig this so much since it's rock music, but the talent and joy transcends.

Enjoy.
