Thoughts

It was beautiful! We saw the Cumberland River. We went to the Hatch Show Print! and took a walk down lower Broadway. What a great town – in case you didn’t know, there is music – everywhere! Oy! Enough with the music already! Music music music! Come on now…who doesn’t like music? Luckily, the only kind of music I didn’t hear there was POP music. It’s a great town for bluegrass though, and I do so like bluegrass.

Tinney Contemporary is by far the best gallery in town, hands down! I am one lucky little duck. Beautiful gallery space and amazing staff!

I have to admit I am really high right now. I’ve been high for a couple days. I was high when I got on the plane to get back, and I’m high today because I just had a bunch of dental work done on the left side on my mouth. The Novocaine part is starting to wear off and I’m starting to feel the tooth pain and I’m about to get really screamy, so I’ll make this here real quick like.

Here is a little blurb about the show in Nashville. It’s part of the highlights of their art crawl. And I put together a few pictures here. Don’t laugh at how fat I am. You’ll win a prize if you don’t think bad thoughts about me. My friend Kyla made that hat.

I was very very pleased with the show. So many people came. My little speech to the Vanderbilt alumni went pretty darn well, and so many people were very interested in my work and wanted to speak with me. I felt very important all evening and it was because everyone in Nashville is so incredibly nice!

Okay, time for another pain pill!

Reading what I wrote last month makes me feel like I actually got something accomplished. I have 5 pieces left to do and 2 of them are more than half way there. I’m going to show WIPS (that’s works in progress folks!) and a few things I’ve completed over the last month.

Most of my danvites are done. They are for VIPS, so sorry if you don’t get one. They take forever to sew and I’m trying to entice certain critics and curators to come to the show – so that’s who they’re for. I did finally design my postcard the other day and it’s being printed right now. And by the way, I’d like to give a bit of a shout out for a local printer I use that kicks Modern Postcard’s ass. They are called America’s Printer and they do a stellar job on heavier card stock, with UV coating (or not), for way cheaper, and all online. Use them! Their customer service is amazing too.

So I’m on the last 3 paintings and then I’ll be working on the last 2 pieces which are dolls. I’m going to be showing some of my handmade dolls. Did I already mention that? Well now I did. So we got yer paintings, yer drawings, yer handmade dolls, and the amazing Scribbles in a Sandstorm, the big Dan premiere… it’s going to be one helluva show ladies and gentlemen.
