My art show has officially begun! I was over at The Armory (191 Highland Ave in Somerville) to see my new exhibit at Out Of the Blue Gallery yesterday for the Somerville Open Studios, which was also going on.

I enjoyed my visit with Parama, and we made a few short videos of me talking about some of the photos I have hanging in a basement hallway.
You can read more about my two part art show here…
As for other stuff going on, I got the new blue curtains up on Friday. I was able to put up the orange ones on my own on Monday, but had to wait until Friday to get help with the blue ones…
I had to back out of the Jam’n Java Open Mic this coming Friday because I have too much going on, and right now, that’s affecting my mental health in a way that could potentially ruin my career forever, and seeing as I don’t even really have a career, but hope to get one, that’s not ideal. It’s best I don’t put myself under pressure to perform right now. I was grateful I didn’t have too many issues talking about my photography on camera though. I was shocked when I saw the videos that I wasn’t hating myself terribly other than the angle on my face, but what can you do?
I’ve been busy all week cleaning, writing queries and artist statements, playing keyboard, cooking, watching GOT, and getting together ideas for an art show I was invited to be part of through DMH (Department of Mental Health). It’s more of a craft fair with items for $20 and under, but they said I could bring my books, stickers, and t-shirts, and it’ll be a great opportunity to get my books out to the right kind of audience, since they’re about my mental illness. I’m excited about that. I also sold another poetry and art book and got a satisfied customer review on another one I sent out to someone named Suli Nee up in Alaska. She took this picture of it…
I actually just recently changed the cover, but she makes the old cover look great with that display. Here is the new cover…
And since April 23rd was World Book Day, here are the rest of my books…
You can find all my books on Amazon and at Out Of the Blue Gallery on the top floor of The Armory.
I took a few pictures and did a little art…
This new painting is 8×10 and $50 and I can ship it.
I also threw these ingredients together with some chicken and scallions….
and made this…
And I was listening to Syd Barrett last night, so here is something from him (the original singer from Pink Floyd who took too much acid and lost his mind)…
And I also found my Luscious Jackson CD, so let’s hear some 90’s female alternative hip hop rock stars…
That’s it for tonight. Enjoy.
