happy face

OK, so a friend (my slumlord) was giving me a hard time last night re: his perception of my supposed whiny attitude on this blog.

So here's a chirper entry......

Am cranking out the Stations paintings (altho my uber-Catholic brother over the thxgivin' holiday informed me that there are not 12 stations to the cross - there are FOURTEEN!!!!). The rose and the valiente guy are almost done (see photos). So, when these two are done (hopefully by tomorrow), I've have the following done: the dame, the dandy, death, the devil (even tho I'm not 100% happy with it, I'm leaving it alone until the end), the heart, valiente, rose - - - so, as of this week will be over the hump so to speak. I think I'll be working on the deer next, and maybe the hand - hope to have those done next week. PRODUCTIVITY!

I did get a rejection from a show in CA that stung a bit since I've been a wee bit lazy on sending in call for entries submissions. But, I already have the show in Miami and the 2 person for this year; I just don't feel like gunning it on the juried shows. Plus, there's the money factor - - - I've been spending a lot to do this series and I don't feel like blowing $20 - 30 a pop on these submissions.

While in Cowtown over the holiday, finally bought some photo backdrop paper b/c when the faculty show comes down, I def need to photo some of the works.

The faculty show went up and opened fine . . . the turn out for that opening is always great, altho I spent much of the time (like the adult I am) hiding (those of you aware of my personal life - which I have swore not to get into here - knoweth what I speak of. That's all I'm saying on the topic).

So off to work on what I am hoping will be the FINAL ppt of the semester on Dadaism and Surrealism. It will be brief b/c we need time in class to do Dada poetry and the Exquisite Corpse drawing - always a fun time.
