About this Blog

Posted on August 1, 2019

So, apparently, I have cancer.

On Thursday, November 7th, 2019 I was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer called Medullary Thyroid Cancer. As my doctor said, “This is a very interesting case, and this is a time when being interesting is not a good thing”.

For my sanity, this blog is a one-way flow of information (comments are disabled on most posts). This isn’t Facebook. (Side note: I’ve heard Facebook is the leading cause of cancer) ;P

However – feel free to share this blog on Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Friendster and ICQ. I won’t respond to comments, but at least more people will have a chance to follow what’s happening. And it may be helpful for people who don’t know me but are going through a similar struggle.

How can I help?

A question I’ve been getting asked a lot, and appreciate so very much!

–> You can donate money directly via Paypal: love@matthewlouis.art

OR –> Purchase my artwork. I have some originals available, as well as prints in a variety of sizes. I like the idea of being able to offer you something tangible for your support. I receive about 50% of the total price when you order prints.

I have a difficult time asking for help, but the reality is that I have a lot of medical bills AND I’m no longer able to work. Bottom line: Cancer isn’t as fun I thought it would be.

Much love to you all!

-Matt

“Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.”

–Kahlil Gibran, On Joy and Sorrow
