So I finally figured out how to download a video on here! Thank you Leib_!!!
Here's my contribution to the accent video craze and I kinda dig vlog-ing (but I hate that word)



Anyway, hopefully you enjoy it. For anyone interested, the book I read a passage out of is seriously amazing. Like "I want to sit and read it to you" amazing. It broke my heart and I loved it so much I am reading it a second time a week after finishing it the first time

Oh and the reason I read this is cause I have always referred to my paintings as "my babies, my girls, my children"
Even though I have never had children, art, for me, and creating art has somehow always been tied to the metaphor of pregnancy and giving birth, weird huh?
The rock bit, I collect rocks and shells and sand and pieces of places that hold me and that have seeped into my being, it's something I have been doing since I was 17 years old. 18 almost 19 years. I don't collect them simply because "oh look it has a pretty stripe on it, there has always been something else connected to my earth gathering. It's a way to bring all of the place I have loved with me, it connects me to my past.
Seriously, this book in many places, but certainly not all, felt like my own life's narrative, the one I don't really tell people. It's amazing. Really really amazing. I haven't read a book like this in a while...

Everything else is pretty good, more on the craziness that is my life soon!!!
