these texts are an archive of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area from march 2007 - march 2015. it stands as a record of close to a decade of my life, charting the struggles i faced as an artist, daughter, and lover. messy and chaotic at times, eloquent and poetic at others, these texts are an index i am proud of. it was here in this electric box that i learned how to be honest about my experiences and the person i needed to become. it was here that i first learned the truism that words make the world and how to trust such a beautiful, rife, hard fact.

thank you for meeting me here in such tall grass.

"let's be friends" art trade!

no complaints here - i spent the entire weekend at home drawing... in bed, no less, and managed not to drip any ink on my white quilt. :) my hand is a bit cramped but it's a small price to pay for such a wonderful couple of days. i worked out a few ideas i've had rolling around in my head and then just drew for fun. i spread all the work out today and was amazed by just how much there was. 13 in total! dang! and with an inventory like that, i thought it'd be nice to do an artist trade.
the 4 drawings below are all 11" x 7.5", small and cute, but definitely big enough to frame and hang on the wall.

they are drawn in ink on Rives BFK (being archival counts!), and signed and dated on the back. the 'black apples' are an image that i am absolutely in love with right now and it is quickly turning in to a series. i even like the way it sounds when i say it out loud... black apples. try it.

so if you're an artist and you'd like to have one of these, send me an email - angelasimione@aol.com - and we can work something out. i love trading artwork and think it should be done way more often than it is.

i've only got 4 of these little beauties to ship out so, in the hope of making a few new art-friends, the offer is not extended to family members. sorry family members, christmas is coming, hang in there.
