Hopefully looking towards creating some great new art with some newly found inspirations based on hurt and sadness and regret.  Not anything big, but perhaps finding that things could have, would have, and should have worked out differently, or maybe I'm just thinking too much. My life as it is right now is fantastic, could I ask for a better day to day existence? Sure, but why?  Am I missing something? Yeah. Am I happy with it? No.  Am I going to go on? Damn straight. Why ponder over those things, those experiences I missed, the opportunities that I didn't take, or was scared to.  All of that made me into who I am today and would I change anything about me? No, because what if I hadn't turned out as conscience as I am about myself? Life's lessons teaches only how to resolve situations, because situations are not stagnant. I grow, and I am constantly growing.  I learn each and every day to be the predator and not the prey.  I am strong, willing, and determined.  Fuck those who have hurt me, yes, but what am I going to do about it now? Go on. What else is there to do? My new piece is a collage, bits and pieces from things that I love, things I hate, wrapping them all up into one big mess of a piece and hopefully calling it a success. It takes a lot longer than a painting. I can paint fast like nobody's business, but this is challenging because I'm used to creating art from scratch.

What shall I call her? I mentioned I'm a predator, getting what I want as long as I'm determined, perhaps a small bird in the clutches of the amazing falcon who's eyesight is as sharp as her talons as she swiftly approaches the small helpless bird and clutches at it with speed so fierce, that the leaves around the poor screeching bird shake with fear themselves. The weaker me, and the stronger me, which one overpowers...

Holy crap my laptop is hot!!

Well a nice fruitful day today!! And yesterday actually... in art. I'm working on a few new animal heads out of the bicycle saddles and they look pretty sweet, but that's one person's opinion. For being a pretty laid back day, I booked myself a solo show at a place in Cherry Creek, this place sells high-end mattresses, but they are supposed to move them all in order for my art to "show".  It's a win-win.  Hopefully it reaps more fruitful than Santa Fe does.  Not anything against the strip but it's a little dissapointing when there's heaps of people but there's not the revenue to make it worth my time.  Sorry Arts District, that's just how I feel. On another note, I am really excited to finish these heads!! Some days just feel good, and other days just feel so-so.  It's a good day! I also made myself a pearl milk tea, also known in the US as bubble tea (I just learned to say it that way in Australia, when I learned what it was!) Wonderful stuff!! I found a fantastic Asian market to go to and grab all the goodies. There's Pacific Mercantile Co in downtown Denver, and then there's the Pacific Ocean International Supermarket. So delicious!!!

As for my next at show, it shall be posted so that Denverites may be able to come, I'm so excited to have a place to myself! It will take place the first Thursday in September, so the 6th of September.
