Wish For Wings
Jun. 17th, 2009 01:27 pm Okay, not a photo, but the painting I am the proudest of, after Pegasus Rising.
The reference for the piece is Katie West's youreallowed. You can see it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/katiewest/108938261/
I bought a print in a hot second when she was selling them and was so entranced by it that I had to paint.
The painting itself is not for sale. It's too precious to me personally and means...things I'm not comfortable telling anyone. It's that important to me. This, like Pegasus Rising and before it, The Wasteland, was a turning point in my work.
That being said, I am selling prints now. Here and on my Etsy (as soon as i can beat my Etsy into submission). And these are prints that I do myself, with my tiny giclee printer. They're not numbered, but they are signed.

Today, the Mouse graduated from Pre-K. She turns 5 in less than two months. I hardly know what to do with myself.
She's having a rough time of it lately. She's discovered teh Drama and discovered that the parental units do not find teh Drama amusing.
I swear, parenting is a contact sport.

Lakers Victory Parade has turned downtown into a madhouse. A glorious one, but a madhouse nonetheless.
I will be grateful when this day is done.
Please Help Katie West
Jul. 5th, 2007 08:12 amHere's the deal. She's had a massive hard drive meltdown crash. It had all of her art and her writing on it. All of it. It makes my flashdrive dying look like a joke. It's going to cost her almost $2,000 to have a service recover the drive. She doesn't have the money.
I've donated what I could, which was a pittance. Please donate too or spread the word. She's an amazing self-portrait photographer and writer. Like me, she's struggling to make a living through her art. Please support her.
You can find her donate button by going to her LJ:

Seriously. Please help in any way you can. Spread the word. It's important.
