Time Space and VJD

June 16, 2019 In Art Instruction Fine Art Motivational My Random Favorites Theatre Related World View No Comment

If visual art is a response to space and music a response to time, then theatre and film are a response to time and space. My goal with #VincentJohnDoe was to respond to the vertical relationship between #timeandspace. Everything that […]

Vincent Has Arrived

For those of you who kinda want to “experience” theatre or art or music, maybe just “catch the video clips,” just keep ”swiping.” If you’d like to truly immerse yourself in the creation of all three, live and breathe in […]

My Proof of God

Warning: trigger alert-explicit content. Faith is a deeply personal experience. People come to it in many ways. Although proof of God exists all around us, my personal proof for the existence of a loving God came to me in the […]

Day of the Dove

July 25, 2018 In Fine Art Motivational Theatre Related World View 1 Comment

We just re-watched this episode from STOS. “Day of the Dove” is very salient at this moment in our history, when an almost irrational hatred and anger grips our planet. The desire to win, to defeat our “enemies” has taken […]

The New Normal

July 11, 2018 In Art Instruction Fine Art Motivational Theatre Related World View No Comment

I am dubious of the normal, particularly the new normal, where destructive, unhealthy, hate-filled voices are given credence. Their “common sense” solutions are often anything but. It’s time to embrace our neurodiversity. Now more than ever, we need the ideas […]

We did it! Three amazing world premiere performances of Vincent John Doe at City Gallery, part of Piccolo Spoletto 2018, are now behind us. It was surreal for this playwright/actor, after all that work, over so many years, to receive […]

Today, on the way to the WCBD News 2 for an interview (below) to plug the closing night conversation around my exhibit, “The Quench Project and the Mire of Desire,” my son asked me if I’d rather be famous or […]

Beauty and the Beast

Our family rented the movie, Beauty and the Beast, last night. Cate and I find it very moving, in all its incarnations. I’ve never fully understood why this particular story has such power for me. Here’s one attempt at an […]

“Find the art in yourself, not yourself in the art.” Constantin Stanislavski People often tell me they really want to be an artist and ask me what they should do to become successful. Most of them have stars in their […]

All Our Yesterdays

Something got a hold of me and I decided to convert some of the old films I acted in back in my NYC days into DVDs. I made these in the late 80s and they look a bit dusty. They […]

Prayer of Redemption

Today was a juxtaposition of shocking evidence that Roof had written another manifesto in prison, drawing Nazi symbols on his shoes, shoes he was wearing in court as recently as this week. This was interspersed between more beautiful and moving […]

The Pollyanna Principle

I’ve been singing, acting, writing and painting for many years, thinking I was bringing something to these disciplines, something valuable, something of beauty. It is humbling, to say the least, when we inevitably encounter those moments which awaken us from […]

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. People who know, who have achieved anything close to mastery in any discipline will repeat the practice mantra until they’re blue in the face. “Practice, not talent, is the key […]

Leaves Through the Trees

April 30, 2015 In Art Instruction Fine Art Motivational Portraiture Theatre Related World View No Comment

When an artist paints a tree or a flower, we are not painting individual leaves or pedals, floating aimlessly in the universe of our painting. They are attached; they are connected to something larger. They are dependent on the tree […]
