An incredible experience live painting for the second time at the Canal Street Show. Two teams had 60 minutes to complete a black and white piece under the curation theme AMBITION.
My painting partner
@thedigitalcoy and I worked smoothly together. I am grateful for his touching multimedia poetry skills and beautiful thoughtfulness as a teammate. The text on our piece is an original poem written by Coy.
I also had the privilege of painting with new friends
@boxheadart and
@yuzapata3sc -- two brilliant artists with insanely creative minds who I would be honored to work with again.
My heart was warmed by surprise visits from old friends
@kingsuesuethelegend &
@mnconnors . Ethereal magician
@leeaux came all the way from Louisiana to support, and I had my sweet baby
@nakedhealthy_ by my side.
Thank you to all who were there. I'm honored to have participated in a room where so many talented artists were showing their work. An enormous thank you to
@efdot & Will EP for putting it all together. The effort and love shines through -- see you next time on Canal Street!
Ambition - by Coy Byron
@thedigitalcoy
Ambition means carving a singular path in this world
Through calculated risks and daring leaps of faith
In myself and my vision
Reaching for stars that sear my fingertips
Yet landing somewhere new,
Somewhere mine
Each burn a badge I wear with quiet pride
Ambition is leaving footprints that won't wash away
A world slightly better for my having walked it
Creating an echo that resonates beyond my years
That lives in the minds of my children
Passed through generations like living mythology
Ambition is the relentless march forward
Toward a dream that outshines all tangible things
So when the ferryman comes for his due
I'll pay with a soul well-spent
On worthy, fulfilling pursuits
