Freedom
So yesterday was the beginning of the Tuesday and Wednesdays off from work. I woke up about 8:30 and grabbed a quick breakfast and then started painting. I finished the triptych I was working on.
After painting for a while I emailed back and forth with a guy who wants to buy a painting from me. We met up at a restaurant near my house and talked about doing a show at a shop he owns on the south shore this summer. I'll have more details on that as it's a ways off. This guy is a well-known clothier in Boston. Exciting.
I have to grab more canvas for the upcoming Dorchester show at the Red Dot Gallery.
Gah what else... hmmm.
OH. Jesus. A while ago I stumbled upon the artwork of Counsel Langley
I emailed her with a painting-trade proposition and somehow she was interested in doing a trade with me. Painting for a painting. Amazing. While I was away in NYC I got a text from Jenny freaking out about the painting which was posted on my myspace page. I scrambled to get to a computer and checked it out and was blown away.
I get to have this!
Off to the post office soon. I have to go try to ship Vigo to Ohio. Don't worry there will be prints of him.
I'm off.

God I love the way this triptych turned out. I think (other than my painting) I love your triptychs (am I even spelling that right?) the most. I might have to have one. I think I want a vertical one though.
And that Counsel painting? Ridiculous. I want one of those too.
Also ridiculous? Your apparent admirers. Some chick (many chicks?) got a crush on Hoookerrrr. haha.
They are dudes.
You want one like turned on it's side? like lined up like the German flag instead of the Italian flag?
Yes a German flag, exactly. Thank you for using the two flags of my ancestors as an example.
I want some kind of architectually inspired piece.
But you'll have to wait to start until I save up. Unless you want to trade in arts/services/printer/inks, I got nothing for you now ;)
I'm cool with waiting. I have to come up with five new pieces by february.
It came out great! Makes me realize I truly have no artisic ability ... jealous!
How do you feel about a Boston skyline for me?
Caity send me an email and we'll talk about it. I'd love to do one for you.

fuck fuck fuck. you were the one who got that painting of counsel's? i was inquiring about it.
to say i am so fucking jealous is a total understatement.
It's being traded for a triptych, so I'm not getting away scot free.
