Post-Election Update

Election is over. I'm back to normal now, back doing school work and artwork instead of being a maniac glued to Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow for 4 hours every night. I'll be updating this blog more often now.

VERY last election tid-bit-- here was my view of Grant Park when Obama was elected:

Anyway, back to art.

Here's what I've been working on for a while. It's from a Loretta Lux photo.

The consensus so far is that she's creepy and her dress is uncomfortably short and that she looks like a boy. I like her though.

I'm working on a few other things too; I'll take pictures of those soon.

ALSO:

1) Scarlett won 2nd place in the Pollard Gallery Annual Advent Show! Woo!

2) This is what my hand looks like regularly now since I adopted the kitten from hell.

FRONT PAGE NEWS!

Holy moley.

The Obama mural and I made the front page of the Kenosha News today!

Front page baby!

I don't know what else to do except buy every copy in sight. I have 8 copies sitting in my truck.



Kenosha News' online edititon has a place for reader comments, here's my favorite so far:

"When Someone Says "It wasn't about the politics" You Know Darn Skippy It Was. Come On. Your Not Kidding Anyone.

Darn skippy is right. What a day.

** AND... for the record... this is actually my SECOND time on the front page of a newspaper. Feast your eyes on this 1995 edition of the Potomac News in Woodbridge, Virginia. That's me in the glasses, braces and side ponytail (I was much cooler then) :
