Well, one of my three jobs went out of business this past weekend and I am both relieved and worried. It was my main source of income but was also holding me back from having time for my art and making new things.
I am on the search for more work now but I am graduating next Wednesday and I am really excited and motivated to travel and start being really serious about my art and getting out there. I've got a pretty good head start so I need to take advantage of it.
The Day of the Dead show at Young Blood Gallery and the Wholly Georgia show at Mint went really well!
Currently I have a piece that is up for the "Who are the People in your Neighborhood" show at Young Blood. The night or that opening Carly and I were working the bar and for some reason the whole night was just REALLY strange. We started a tally on a napkin of all the awkward encounters that presented themselves through out the night. I don't know what was in the air and I cant really explain it but it was really funny and entertaining. It was a pretty mellow night though and at the end of it all of us, (Carly, Rebecca, and Stephanie) went and decorated Jens car. On Friday our girl Jennifer eloped with her man so we had to tie beer cars to their bumper and write all over their windows to say so. :) Congratulations to Jennifer Morris Utterback and Kyle Utterback!
Anyways, next on the list is the Georgia Lawyers for the Arts auction Wednesday night. That is going to be my LAST official school duty and I am DONE. I also donated one of my paintings so I hope it gets a good home. :)
I am working on a post card for Mints pin up show this Saturday and brainstorming a new painting for the Mason Murer "Fresh Blood" show in January.
Ive been sick for the past week and a half and I practically have this whole week off so I am hoping that I can re-coop fast and get back to business fast!
Also, my roommate and I decorated our tree yesterday and it is so beautiful. So thankful to not have to work retail this holiday season! Well, excluding Young Blood Boutique, but that isnt really the same to me. :)
