Letter from the Editor – April 2020: The Artist’s Odyssey with David Bowers

Money Tree

All you need is Cash.

I  still think the Beatles were right, Love truly is all you need, especially right now. With stimulus packages being disbursed, unemployment on the rise and the like, it’s kind of hard not to have money on the brain. And now that we’re quarantined for who know’s how long, everyone has doubled down on social media to stay relevant.
      Likewise, I’ve found solace in finding Art in the everyday. Still running 15 hours daily in the weeks of Covid, I took a few minutes this week to build a mini daylight studio in the corner of my Astoria apartment. With Georgia on my Mind popping into my musical cue, I laughed out loud and corrected Ray sentiment with Money, and quickly produced this digital print.
      I LOVE this tree. It sits in the corner of my living room soaking up the   afternoon’s golden rays, and always reminds me that even in the cloudiest and darkest of days, there’s sun on that future horizon and that we too shall find new life, opportunity and Cash tomorrow.
      In the meantime, like all media prophets & social media  psychologists will tell you,  do you. Keep documenting this Covid odyssey of ours, staying creative in your own way, keeping your mind active even if your bank account is less than full. Cash maybe king at the moment, but I’ll take Love & Art over cash any day.

Stay creative dear friends.
