it's not even 9 o'clock yet and i've already spent money i really shouldn't spend but a girl's gotta have a little fun and welcome herself back home properly. 2 new kiki smith books and a pair of yellow rubber rain books. hahahahahahaha! perfect!
and the shop is back up and running. i'm not sure i like the look of the little etsy side-bar thing-a-ma-jig on my blog. it clutters my space up. no likey, no no no.
and i'm full of coffee and rowdiness and eager for everything! i will be heading out to the art store soon for gouache and maybe even some really really big sheets of paper.
it's a drizzly day, full of the beautiful low-lying fog. everything is grey and bright green, the remnants of rain falling from the tall trees. gorgeous. my home.
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.

I was just sitting here thinking it was JonBenet. oh god.
i've done her portrait more times than i can count. she is so much like elsie it is unbelievable.
Yes I feel that too, so strongly. I get the same gut feeling.
