Breaking News: Anderson Cooper Sniffed My Art

On Thursday, January 3rd 2012, THIS aired on national television:

And—sitting on my couch that morning in my pajamas—this is what happened to my mind:

The star of Clarissa Explains It All (the coolest show in the entire world when I was 9 years old) held my painting and Anderson Cooper SAID MY FULL NAME and did not butcher it.

They both complimented my artistic skills and proceeded to sniff a portrait that I painted. This all happened for—oh—a good minute or two on national television.

Mind blown. No words. :)

Portrait of Anderson Cooper (in Coffee)

After many years of sitting on the floor and propping canvases against the back of my kitchen chair, I finally broke down and bought a nice easel from Utrecht. Painting is much MUCH easier now so I plan to do more of it. 

Hopefully uploading more in the next month. Here's one I did for fun...

*UPDATE: He came out of the closet one week after I posted this, therefore I take full responsibility. Congrats Anderson :)

** MEGA UPDATE!  This painting was featured on ANDERSON LIVE on ABC on 1/3/2013! Ahhh!
