I am on my way to Las Vegas tonight for one of my best friends weddings at the Little White Chapel. With that, getting sick, and my boyfriend being hospitalized for 4 days I am going to have to play some MAJOR catch up when I get home and kick it into high gear because I have been dragging ass this month. Which, was not part of my original plan.

VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!

This is an open call for artists at Radial Cafe in Atlanta Curated by Dayna Melton and Jackson Henry. You can submit up to two pieces of art relating to the "mask" theme (which in all honesty is VERY OPEN TO INTERPRETATION, so do that voodoo that you do) Radial Café is hosting an art exhibition for KSU students along with other artists. Masks are typically worn for protection, disguise, performance, or entertainment. They have been used since antiquity for both ceremonial and practical purposes. We are looking for any art relating to masks. It can be interpreted anyway you’d like. Be creative! Drawing, painting, photography, and print will all be accepted. There are a few small spaces for the exhibition of 3D artworks in the café.

If you are an Atlanta artist you can email me for a drop off date at Radial Café on a designated alternate date. All artworks must be READY TO HANG when dropped off.

I know this is suppose to be my art blog but I cant help post pictures of my dog, he is just to dang photogenic.

Its been a while. Still in school, graduating in the Fall and I am ready for my senior show and getting out there. I am still with my boyfriend Brandt from California. I think the last time I made a post he was living there, well we couldn't be away from each other any longer so he moved back.:) I got a dog named cricket and he has pretty much completed me and now I am a crazy lady who is obsessed with her dog.... you'd know why if you knew him.

shush it up for me.

Finished the semester with 3 A's and a B. I am SO stoked that I made an A in my painting class. I was so frustrated with my professor for always giving me B's and I was loosing faith. But in the end he stuck to his word and gave me a better grade then I made during the semester. I was pretty surprised because I honestly thought he was just bullshitting me. Ended up being a pretty good semester. Now, next semester is going to be another story. If I thought I was a hermit this semester, next semester my life outside of school and work is going to be completely non existent. But it's okay, after next semester I am almost finished. I'm in it to win it!!

Currently I am trying to get some of my art work into three shows:
Kennesaw State University 28th annual Juried Art Exhibition. The opening is actually on my birthday, January 27th. I think it will be up till February.
Rome International Juried Exhibition in Rome, GA. It isn't until the Spring I believe but I went ahead and submitted a few things early.
Dogwood Regional Fine Arts Festival in Knoxville, TN. This festival isn't until the Spring also. But I am already preparing stuff to sent in.
So I think that if I submit to all three of these I should expect to get into at least one of them.

If anyone is interested in buying any art or commissioning some art for me to create please let me know. Mama needs to pay off her credit cards..

fin.
