My new tattoo is amazing.

But more than that, I haven't been updating because what I have that is new I am submitting to SCJ, and may even take a couple pieces down so I can submit them, too.

Ces't la vie. Or whatever. However you spell it.

of old stuff. Can that even be called an update? Maybe it's a back-date.

I've been thinking about giving my page a good overhaul, or even just creating a totally new page. I already deleted my most favorited (and possibly most offensive) deviation.

I want to clean it up so I really have my best works up... and that really means I need to work more at creating art. I'm getting tired, and being tired makes me REALLY want to be lazy.

My newest response in my art conversation with is up. I want to say things about it, but that's against the rules.

I'm still thinking about doing self-portraits.

If you read my journal, please recommend a good book. I finished the last one and need something new.

Goodnight.

I want to do more self-portraits. I'm thinking at least one each year.
I want to do this for a couple of reasons.
1. I just like drawing myself
2. I need to get better at portraiture, and what better model do I have than myself? I'm always available when I need me, and the mirror is an easy way to check my work.

So, I have occasionally put links on hear to my brickfish account, which results in a bunch of broken links. Oh well. I appreciate all your support.

I've been thinking of two things today.

1) What should I do with all of my old art? I need to do something with it, and I surely can't keep it all. I don't want to throw it away though, either. Would it be strange to sell something that I made before I was married, or maybe even when I was a teen??? I don't know if it's even that good. However, I recently had someone inquire about a piece that I gave away to benefit charity, and I wonder if i could sell my work... something to think about.

2) I still fantasize about singing onstage. Today, I thought about how cool it would be to perform with Sleater Kinney, even though they're broken up. Also, today some carolers came to my door. I remember doing that when I was their age. I miss the stage. Will I ever return to it?
