about

I think a lot of people heard this song and assumed that I am very bitter about my hometown. Not at all. I will always love Saint John. But part of that love includes brutal honesty, in my opinion. I don't believe in whitewashing things, or painting a city as something it is not. This is my painting of Saint John, exactly as I see it. Warts and all. I do not see a spotless city that is geared for the future. I see a hard, challenging town that many folks have chosen to leave. Those who stay tend to be either a) flag wavers who only see the good and conveniently ignore the bad or b) quite hard and rough around the edges.
