art shows and sillyness so wow. yeah. i lived! I AM ALIVE AND NOT EVEN A FLESH WOUND! hahah. like i really thought an art show/sale would kill me. yeah yeah. so i did. so what! i can be dumb like that and build up this giant scenario in my head where i go and get laughed at. but the whole point to it all was the GOING. i WENT! i did it! and it was FUN! hahaha. its probably only amusing to me that i can say that.. or to anyone who has to listen to my psychosis on a daily basis. i was so afraid of this thing.. of looking like a clueless ameteur(if thats how you spell it). i hate looking like i have no idea what im doing. i wish i was born a seasoned veteran. but alas. so all day saturday was an art making glue fest. (like you really thought i was not going to wait till the last minute) jamie being the rad chick she is came over to help me make stuff when i was having a ohmygodicantfinishallthisshitintime moment. yay! she left at like 9pm.. then me and ian decided to bust out the gocco printer at like 11.. which seemed crazy since we had never used it before.. but it is sooo my new favorite toy. so this is one of the cards that i made.. a version of the last thinking of you card.. but using the gocco. so we didn't sleep at all saturday night.. just worked straight through until i left to set up on sunday at like 10am. i forgot what doing that was like. so at first i thought i still sucked a little.. but as time went on and people started showing up i felt better and better. people liked the stuff. people liked my art.. my hair sculpture chick too! (which i just couldnt part with) i was almost surprised that people liked things.. i dont know why.. heres one of the books i made too. both the map books sold.. and a hardcover one too.. i didnt even have time to scan those.. anyways. i met lots of people.. and spread the good word.. and got told about some other events like this one going on.. and yeah. im gonna do them. :) enough hiding right. i learned my lesson. i feel like a damn nike ad.. JUST DO IT! hah. i just found this picture on the ant website of my table. teehee. im such a dork. finding that made me almost forget my headache. so im signing up for the one in june for sure. and low and behold.. jamie came to see it on sunday and wants to do the next one too. i love how no one wanted to do it with me this time.. but now its cool and they will. hah. i dont even care. im totally glad she wants to.. it just makes me laugh to myself that she wouldnt the first time for whatever reason. lynette was a no show of course.. and i dont even care anymore. i went out of my way to go to a couple of her shows.. and she blew this off. whatever. im growing and learning and psyched so pbbbbbbbbbbt. so in the end i made like $90 which isnt alot.. but seems like mountains considering i just wanted to walk away with my pride intact. so thats that. i need advil. and im out of change. oh and check out the latest monster movie buttons. it was beautiful out today. i went to the post office.. cleaned out a car.. and walked a dog that isnt mine. rock on brooklyn. rock on phoenix. xo |
