• Big Sigh

    I am almost done with the week. Spring break starts tomorrow for me. We are driving to the DiRosa Presever to see an amazing collection of art, then on to Calistoga for mud baths and beer. Monday I leave for Arizona. I’ll be posting images of my trip, hopefully I can find the cable for…

  • recipe for a melt down

    Add two parts frustration, four parts too much due at once, and one part bruised ego. Mix in some restlessness and you’ve got a meltdown souffle. I am missing deadlines left and right. I cried a bunch last night and took a long bath. I’m ready for spring break to start, although now, I will…

  • Things to be sad about

    The ze Frank show is going away. He only planned on doing a year and here it is, a year later, no more ze. I will miss the show so much. It’s really sad. When I was 9 or 10, my mom put our dog to sleep without telling us beforehand. She just picked us…

  • life and floors

    Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it almost never does; that’s what makes it so boring. –Edward Gorey

  • Dear Tom

    I was just thinking about how much I love and appreciate everything you do for me. And I wish I had a magic way to express it to you in a way that is equal to how I feel. But I suppose I just have to trust that you know. I’ll just keep trying my…

  • Reincarnated

    Wow, remember this painting? I brought it back from the dead and started painting on it again. I sure handle oil paint differently than I did when this was started. I decided maybe I should go back to my old subject matter. I’ve been hitting a dead end with the computer stuff lately. I must…

  • Freaked out about age

    I’m 36, I’ll be almost 38 by the time I graduate from CCA. Yeah, I been thinking about babies. It’s kinda hard not to when you get past 35. You hear all the terrible stuff, like did you know women over 35 have a 1 in 400 chance of having a baby with down syndrome?…

  • Trying to embrace life

    I got a reminder yesterday to follow my dreams. It seems easier for me to make long term goals and be happy about them than to be happy in the day to day. This must stop! I’ve got to get to the bottom of feeling so worn out. So I’m making time to go on…

  • Happy Friday

    I gotta say, it is so very nice to have Fridays off. I’m not even sure wha to do with myself today. I have some digital illustrating to do but I think I’ll take a walk first. We went to First Thursdays last night and saw some art. I get out of class at 7…
