whew!
wow. i haven't updated in a while. so much has been going on.
i'm dating someone new, and that is so super completely totally mind and soul ripping exciting.
!!!
i'm very happy about that.
and I'm very happy that 4 pieces so far in the show at LV's will be moving on to private collections. that is such a good thing. there's still a bit of time for the rest, also.
also, major improvements will be happening to the space. the current hideous booths will be reupholstered. the carpet will be ripped out and replaced. *breathe sigh of relief*
and the best thing about everything - well ok, a great thing:
I'm going to be paid - once I get my butt out of these blogs and write up and submit the proposal that I need to.
ok, food break.
I am a happy girl.
thanksgiving should be interesting.
yesterday was fabulous.
life is beautiful.
everyone who thinks that i or anyone else won't be able to make a living as an artist and art businessperson can just try those LV's mashed potatos. HAH! mmm
but definite, definite learning experiences all around, especially for me. this is good. this next year will help define and shape the rest of my professional life. this is where to make the mistakes and also learn. this is where to gain experience for not only myself but for others involved. and this will also help propell me through the gutwrenching several months which lie ahead as: THE PNCA THESIS CONTINUED + RIDICULOUS TUITION COSTS
but... it will happen. it has to, and it will. it IS happening.
and I am so happy to be dating someone who understands not only all this, but so many other things. just a little time spent and we relate to each other on so many levels it is almost uncanny. it's crazy. what to do but just ride the wave and enjoy it??? i am so thankful for everything which is comprising my current life. it's been so difficult lately. going from complete sacrifice, completely broke, no money even for busfare, to selling a few works, a few more, continuation of shows, meeting such interesting people, and now possibly being able to survive on solely my art, curatorial/gallery management & related business ventures, and singing. So what if everything will be then sucked into the venomous blood and money-sucking entity which is PNCA and the artistic academic institution????
past that, the skies will clear even more.
the fabulous thing about getting to know someone who understands is, I also think I may understand him. and if I don't, I surely want to. I respect him on many levels, and very much appreciate his bohemian side!
it's so early... we'll see about everything, but I am optimistic. In any case, I have faith that no matter what happens, ours is a friendship that will sustain itself through it all, and beyond all the insanity and lightheadedness, that is so important.
...
so, yes. it's difficult to not shout this out to the world. so, in essence, I suppose I am.

but back to art insanity -
EVERYONE MUST COME TO BUCK BRADEN'S DECEMBER FIRST THURSDAY OPENING AT LV's!!!!
fabulous paintings. check some of them out at buckbradenart.com
also - lol - check out "Mesmerized" - yes, I must admit, I was one of the models for that... he uses several. I am not sure if I am just me or a merging of me and others but in any case, check it out on his website &/or my facebook!
PS my phone's back up! although it might be on its last legs. after about a thousand times of dropping it on the concrete etc., but it's a survivor!
