So, I've been known to paint. I've also been known to be completely and to a fault modest about my work. In fact, this picture that i have on my profile now may be the first and only piece I ever post on SG. Well, at least that was my thinking until the other day...

...At work, I do custom framing. A friend of mine happens to be a photographer and thought it might be worth both of our while to have me frame some of his work. He comes in, and while he is there insists on terrorizing me the entire time, making me look like an ass. He chalks it up to wanting to be my older brother, I just say he's bored and can be a jack ass sometimes. So, we wrap up the little framing project (both of us COMPLETELY thrilled with the outcome). I was also getting off of work at the same time, so he was kind enough to walk me to my car whatever but HAD to get his last dig in. I am all belted up in my car, ready for our last goodbyes, hugs and all when he looks in the car and says," Y'know, the only reason you get these tattoo's is because you are affraid to show people YOUR artwork, and therefore must tote around other people's work." OH! I thought, and how I wanted to slap him. So, I left him with a hearty "Fuck you" and drove away fumed!

Here's the problem though. He IS right about one thing. I am affraid to show people my work. I just don't think it's that spectacular. I mean, people CONSTANTLY tell me that I should give up on the journalism dream and just persue my art, but i don't beleive them! However, I will not say that this is the reason I get tattoo'd. No, no, there are no paralells there, other than it just being another creative outlet. I think I just seriously need to focus hardcore on my artwork, and maybe make something decent. I dunno. We'll see what happens, BUT! I know I am never giving up the dream of becoming a writer. Fuck that! wink

You should definitely come on down this way sometime soon, whether its for a show or just hanging out and drinkin somewhere.

Should never be afraid or ashamed of showing your work to anyone. You have talent and should be proud of that. Besides, who really cares what other people actually think about it, as long as you are happy with your work thats all that matters.

I used to be afraid to show people my work. I guess it always felt too personal. Now I really don't care what people think. Either you get it or you don't, but the artwork is part of who I am. My goal is to get enough work together to for a gallery show by the end of the year. Trouble is all this life stuff keeps getting in the way!
