Ballinthejack: Autobiography of an American Artist

Ballinthejack is about how I became an artist. Love, creation, rebirth and perseverance inhabit these true tales. A child's fancy drives surreal events on my wanderer's way. UFOs, drugs, strange people and places await you. Live Eisenhower's American Dream in the 50's, Kennedy's Age of Promise in the 60's, the sea change of Mind Expansion during the 70's and 80's, the wonders of the Information Age and struggle against the Global Pandemic. Experience the adventurous tales of an American artist.

At times na?ve, at others--wise, you take the artist's journey, dedicated to the creation of beauty and living an adventure. Discover the results of choosing mystical paths during abruptly changing times. Traverse the trails and read the intimate details of a man whose life straddles two centuries of social change in America. This is a collection of true stories, thoughts, poems and notes. They form the puzzle pieces that make the life of a persevering artist in America, an art activist and pioneer of the Internet, social media and art itself.
