BALTIMORE – There comes a time in Aaron Maybin’s artistic process when he needs to scrutinize his canvas.In a cluttered, paint-splattered studio – on the first floor of his three-story row house in the city’s gentrified Canton neighborhood – Maybin will pace this way and that. He will squint, **** his head, even climb halfway up the staircase in search of a fresh perspective.
Right around then, Maybin will take a deep draw of marijuana from a Black & Mild cigar or toke from one of the bongs scattered about.
“When I light one up,” Maybin said, “I’m usually figuring out what my next move is. It helps you see your vision from a different angle.”
Maybin is happy when he’s vibing. He can feel creative energy pulsing through his body. His senses crackle.
He’s guided by emotions. They dictate his actions, helping him create provocative art.
All that’s conveyed springs from within him, for him. Immersed in his art, Maybin is the master of his world, not a servant in somebody else’s. He cares not a driblet what anyone thinks or expects.

Also a number of parts of this article do not shine the light kindly on the Bills previous administration. Piss poor contract negotiating tactics, a completely crap team mentality under Jauron, and a complete pardon for everybody's favorite whipping boy, Russ Brandon, on it not being his decision to take Maybin.
Lots of good, and some not good, stuff in this article.
