After taking the summer off, I've resumed writing the occasional article for LA's Frontier's Magazine. In the current issue, I profile L.A. artist Gronk who was very intreresting and inspiring. Click HERE to read the piece.

For Gronk, being a gay man never stood in the way of his art. If anything, being an artist—even as a teenager—shielded him from some of the typical schoolyard taunts he might have had to endure. "I don't have a great coming-out story," he confesses. "It has never been a problem or an issue. I think art kind of allowed people to enter my world, and most of the time I was seen as cool because I made art."

He also credits his mother: "She was very supportive in the fact that she gave me choice and basically said, ‘You be who you want to be in this life.' It was never, ‘No, you shouldn't do it' and those kinds of things."
