Signed, Sealed, Delivered!











These are the two works that I am currently submitting for “The Good, The Bad, The Money” exhibition.
I put off sending in my entry into the 42 Gallery for long enough- I finally sent it out today! Hoorah! Now all I have to do is wait…and look for the next opportunities!

I took a career/personality quiz today for the heck of it. My boyfriend, Matthew, took it earlier today, and it sounded weird and interesting. He is an artist too, and voila! The personality quiz told him that his ideal career would be as an artist. I was wondering what mine would say…I was preparing myself for something like restroom attendant, cheese maker, or miner. I took the quiz- weird questions- drinking milk past expiration, to call fire department or not, create list or get to work… anyway, according to the test I am a Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving type, and indeed, artist was at the top of the list. Evidently artists throw milk out at the expiration, look for the fire first, do not call plumbers, do not take our cars into the mechanic when we probably should, and create lists before we work, instead of just working immediately…sounds about right…J

Looking Ahead

There is a gallery show coming up in Ohio that is all about Money- “The Good, The Bad, The Money”. I found it on www.artshow.com (what a great site!). Anyway, I couldn’t be more excited about the theme! I am going to gather my packet to send for the show this week. This will mark only the second time in my life that I have sent away to submit my work to a show. The last time was back in college and I submitted a couple of prints due to the nudge of one of my mentors. I was happy to submit my work, but unfortunately, it did not get into the show. REJECTED stamped all across the letter. At the time, I was just happy to have submitted my work. The rejection letter was smiled at, joked about, and thrown out without any big negative impact on me.

Hopefully this time will be different! I have optimism! I feel ready for this now, and it’s just what I have been wanting to do. I need to take chances, and it’s time to jump in. The deadline is in about 10 days. Cheers to revisions, good paper, burning the two images to a CD/DVD, and confusion along the way! Cheers to it all!
