So, I am back at work after the longest holiday I have had in some years. And it's yucky here. The things that I miss when I'm at home (working email, working printer) are broken. Its 33° C in here and I'm not allowed to keep a change of clothes in the fridge, like I would at home.
Today I am dropping off the eight drawings that are going to hang in Magnolia Café for 8 weeks. I hope I will get a few bites. Six of them were drawn in 1998 and were part of a solo show I had that year, that was fun but unsuccessful on the sales front.
I am quite nervous about it all. I have lived with the others for so long that I accept them for what they are. When I look at the two new ones I can't take my eyes off the mistakes and occasional ham-fistedness.
If they were someone else's and I was trying to be nice I would say "wow - there's certainly a lot of work in those!" I could never be accused of making it look easy.
Too. Modest.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see them. Good excuse to lure Monica out of the house. 1st thing on my agenda when I get back to town after watering the garden and snorgling the rabbits.
Aw thanks. I was hoping to get to your opening night at BRG but it will be impossible. I am on duty looking after 4 kids on Saturday while Elf, Imp, Ed and Fred build a rowboat at the Wooden Boat Fest.
ReplyDeleteHey, I think your drawings are great. They make me bitter and filled with self-loathing that I don't have your talent. See, you've got that going for you -- ruining people's day and all.
ReplyDeleteOkay, actually, you can ignore everything after the first sentence.
Good luck with your show. Keep us posted!
Thanks W. I sure hope someone buys one so they can look at it and be filled with loathing EVERY DAY.
