   Hey, beautiful!
   This blog is a great move. Sometimes words are as good as pictures. The ink washes are really nice, but I still think the self portrait is a little scary. Hard. But it’s just a picture, right? I guess looking at yourself is sanity-making, as lonk as your glasses are Truth.
   Beautiful work, Jake. I like how the people in the sketches are so really seen. They are humans I want to meet. And as a photographer catches what he sees, and you can see what the photographer inspires in those he portrays, so I see some of the real you in the people you paint and sketch. You are fully present with your people. I love that about you!

   Wow Jake,
   It’s been so awesome to see how your work has evolved and grown over the years. The east coast seems to agree with you :)
