The Happenings

In the news: Been very busy, but this has been my M.O. for quite some years now. I'm thinking it really took precedent when I turned 28. The penetrating realization I was turning 30 became a constant echo and the realization if I wanted to live out my passions that the time was now. At 32 soon to be 33 it's become even stronger.
The current painting I'm working on is coming along very nicely. Although, had to concentrate on some photo shoots and editing this week, for you see I have submitted 3 photos to an exhibition this October. Now I must patiently await to see if my work has been selected. (I hope, I hope)
I also went location scouting for my next outdoor installation. This proposal I will be sending in this weekend for approval. And I believe I have found my model for casting the figure for the outdoor installation! The work for the installation will begin this upcoming week.
I went to a fashion show this week. Yes, it was fabulous fun.
Oh, and the two photos you see were from a shoot earlier this Summer. I also shot some new photos this week (which are stunning) before being busted by the fuzz for being in a location I guess we weren't suppose to be. Oh, and how I need to edit and upload a ton of work from a bunch of projects to my website. Over time they will all be uploaded.
Potential exciting news, I was contacted by a lovely girl who is interested in interning for me. So I may have an intern! If so, things will hopefully progress faster.
Also, If 'you check out my "Collect" section which was called "Store" , I have put a "Donation" button there for those of my fans who would like to help out with my projects. Costs to create these works and to get into exhibitions are very expensive and add up quickly. So every little bit of support really truly helps. Each donation will receive a personalized gift of my choosing depending on the donation.
This weekend I will be working on selecting the very first signed and numbered giclee prints that will be available on my site!!
Also, hopefully getting a new phone over the next week or so! This means I can take better in-progress shots of my work! Thank freaking goodness.
And must finish painting the kitchen this weekend because it looks like crack is smoked there. And no, crack is not smoked there.
May your weekends be forever Gorgeous!
