Lock down

Hey how is it going, well for me, I have been on lock down for a week now. There was an incident that involved an inmate brutally attacking a cop, which I think it is not right, I guess that guy could not handle whatever had happened I am not sure what led to it going down.

Let me just say that as petty as things have been nit picking on every little thing pushing buttons, it doesn't entirely shock me that something like this would eventually happen however, I don't understand why this guy had a beef with this particular cop. At least from my perspective, that guy was not a guy who did treat people unfairly, he had always been fair with me and had respect which is all I ask for.  I don't know, maybe he treated others differently but for me I didn't see anything that would cause somebody to do this. It was crazy.

So where I was?  well let me tell you that this the cop was my boss of my previous job and last week was my last week. He had just had me sign my pay stub 5 minutes before this and I was just getting up not to long before this and heading over to go use the phone, I had just got on the phone was talking to my woman, when I heard a loud noise and commotion and saw what had happened, at that moment I hung up the phone and moved away from the area, as the cops were coming in and telling everybody to cell in. After that they took the guy out on a stretcher as he had been hit with a steel stool I believe that came from the desk in the cell. I was in disbelief really. It was crazy, the had a police officer come in crime scene tape up around the day-room, they were taking video of all the blood and everything. I thought that the guy could have died and I prayed for him to be ok, What I have hear that he is ok but it was serious, I think he is still in the hospital and we are still on lock down.

There has just got to be better ways of dealing with issues. Now that this happened I am sure that there will be changes. It has been my experience that whenever something major occurs that there are a series of changes, new rules, and some stuff taken away. It is never good. The thing that I don't get is that it doesn't have an effect on the guy who did this, because he won't be back here never again and its just the rest of us will be punished for it. Well next time I'll tell you what it has been like this last week of lock down. Until next time.

Hey be sure to look into Tom Taylor's Fine Art place and check out my work. I want to do work for you. My woman is working with some graphic designing and putting my art on to T-Shirts. Also I am thinking of doing Tattoo designs for sleeves and stuff or some prison art stuff. What do you think of those ideas? Do you have any ideas of what you would be interested in? Let me know.

Take care and please send out a prayer for that man who was injured

Behind my artwork

Another day down, just sitting down in bed for the day winding down, had a good day today. My Seahawks won. Barely but they won and that is what is important. So we are on the second round. I have been putting in a lot of hours drawing this week and am exhausted. But it is a lot better doing things like that than to be sitting around doing nothing, or expending my time getting into trouble. Prison is a constant struggle with this balance.

There are a lot of people who are trying to draw everybody into the machine of negative and destructive behavior. Worried about what the next man is doing. Smiling at your face and talking bad behind your back, and when you've got a lot going on and are doing good they want to bring you down. It is like a constant showing off, proving yourself and trying to show no weakness. So I went my own way and pave my own path as I strive and work hard each day to rise above my surroundings. It is not easy, but only I have the change to choose which path will I go down. Why should I continue on the same path that put me here. Making those some choices.

So my artwork is my life and I would love to share my work with you. It would be great if I could put your vision to paper or canvas and bring it to life. Please contact me if you are interested. Please be sure to comment and or ask me questions and I will answer you to the best of my abilities. Share this with a friend if you like hat I've got to say.

Have a wonderful day.
Tom Taylor
