I'm not dead.

A highly exciting Friday night spent waiting for paint to dry so more paint can be added. Fun times I tell you!

I didn’t mean to go missing from the blogosphere for so long it’s just that there really hasn’t been much happening. Art took a backseat to life and I’ve barely had time to pick up a pencil in months. I blame horses and snow. And books, yes books, I’m starting to think that half the reason I’ve been so busy the last month is that I’ve read 25 of them. Oops. But with two weeks until this exhibition I really have to quit reading and make some art.

I’m not freaking out that I haven’t got it done yet. Everyone around me is! I’ve started, have the biggest one half done and another one sketched. So out of nine I’m not doing too badly! I’ll get them all done. I always do.

The awesome Mina Lobo blogged about yours truly the other day, go here if you want to go and check it out and hello if you’re here from there!

That’s it. That’s all. I don’t even have any art to add.

This is me completely. Nothing happens until five hours after the 'oh shit it needs to be finished by tomorrow' moment. Which is why I found myself still trying to figure out what I am doing for an exhibition in July half an hour before I had to have the paperwork in the post (oh and I live a 10 minute drive from the nearest post office). The worst thing is is that I've know about it for months, the work should be finished (or at least started!) by now, all things like title, medium, size, price should be figured out after, not before! I have just under two months to get the work done and I know I'll still be doing it the morning of. One day I'll change... yeah probably not.

Yes I did get it in and only one of nine is untitled! Ok, that one is also completely unknown as to what it will be other than size, medium and price but it will be there... this is so not the right way to do things...
