a'ight. i finally finished my postcard thingy ma bob. i try not to put out too many images until a show's been up for a week or more so. this pic of jen has been up everywhere, but worked well for the postcard. if you want one feel free to email me and i can put you on the mailing list r sumpin.


i'm gettin kind of nervous for next week.
in the midst of throwing this show together i'm going to visit and talk about my work at a highschool here in the seattle area. one of the mom's at the preschool i teach at (GASP...THE DAYJOB IS REVEALED) is an art teacher at bellvue highschool. the last time i talked to a group of people was back in michigan when i lectured aboout the work to about 80 people. i almost threw up before having to speak. this should be nothing though. i mean i'm expecting 15 kids at least. sigh.

so if you live in seattle come out to the opening it would be amazing to see a shitload of people there. if you don't live in seattle but know people here or post places where seattlites see what your writing feel free to post the image above... http://www.angelfire.com/art2/jbates/aprmay07pcweb.jpg
i know...shameless. anyhow. hope things are well in suicide girl land and your world too.

i guess i should update this thing since i'm becoming active in a few of the groups here.

i really don't blog here i do have an art blog at myspace

here's a recent drawing:


hope all is well with all of you that i barely know. it'd be nice to know who's looking drop me a note if you visit.

for some reason this holiday has been rather depressing. i don't know what it is either. "i'm just so sick and tired of being...just so sick and tired." i'm also sick of being single.
i'm glad i work at the daycare. i was feeling like shit the other day and took it off form work, but went to the holiday thingy we had. it's kind of odd to recieve a shitload of gifts from so many people you barely know (i'm speaking of the parents). as i drove home that night i realized that i do do something worthwhile...oh good god this is starting to sound like the narration from the wonder years or some shit.
i guess what i was trying to say, is that i feel like i've been waisting away since being out of school, but i haven't. i've actually been helping people. crazy.
so this is christmas. no sleep.
i finally moved from the fort to a proper room and will be working my ass off on the three shows coming up.
bah.
i'm sleeping. and probably deleting this later

i wish i had someone to sleep next to and grab soy mochas with whenever we felt like it.

it would be awesome.

so i took a sick day yesterday from the daycare gig, the little ones are giving away boogers like kittens or opinions. my brother got the dead like me dvds so i'm going to be watching a lot of that i'm sure. the fort in which i live in my parents back yard is finally wireless. yes i am writing from my fort. ah ah.
so i worked on the simon wagstaff cover finally took the photos and put something together: www.angelfire.com/art2/jbates/simonwagstaff.html
