I never should have listened to Japanese friends – telling me Seoul was a third rate Tokyo. I finally got the chance to stop by, magical . . .
Like Tokyo with grit, a thrilling mix of ultra-modern, ancient, green hills popping up in the middle. Perhaps it’s partly because of LA – I live next to Koreatown, I felt connected, intrigued, a longing. I want more.

“I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.” |
Spending the week locked away in Selma writing a new TV show where two young black men discover a body that leads them down a rabbit hole of history through Jim Crow, lynching and slavery til they end with a present day truth that makes them advocates for reparations.
Soaking in the town, the history, and mostly reconnecting back to an important time of my life when I lived in Alabama for 7 years. #Blessed.
