so.................

SO yesterday, I think I cracked under the pressure...what pressure you may be asking....well, the pressure I put on myself.

you see....I blogged yesterday, twice in fact but as you can see now I deleted them both.

1st I blogged a celeb letter, it was hilarious and about Brooke Shields, and it of course led to a negative comment left by anonymous...which really once again was devastating to me, this being my blog and my forum.

If people do not like the letters or my blog I would hope they would stop reading instad of coming here and spewing negativity.

now because this "anonymous" won't ever give their name, I am not sure...is it the same person all the time, is it a group of people that just hate me.

now I would be lying if I said I did not care, I do...that is the problem, but I am trying to just get over it.

Now.....yesterday and all this week and last week I have been incredibly busy working on lots of projects, one being quite large and it took a lot out of me, more than I thought it could so I have been living without my "wall of protection" around me, I have been vulnerable...so when the comment happened I deleted.

Then I wrote a post apologizing for the letter....that met with a lot of response as well....(which I love by the way....you loyal readers are wonderful), the people that told me to never apologize and never stop just being me....and you know what you were the ones that were right, not anonymous....

so, then I deleted my apology.

SO there you have it. In case you were wondering if you were here and saw things that now are not here.

I should not have to apologize for things on my own blog, especially for jokes...jokes that are not hurting anyones feelings....and if you don't like it then maybe those people should spend their time writing mean letters to David Letterman, of Conan O'Brian, or John Stewart or any other countless comedian who uses satire as a way to make people laugh.

ok, moving on.......................how are all of you?? Good??

I have been overwhelmed by the response to my limited edition self published art book - Mixed Emotions . Thank you all....as it stands there are very few left of this book coming in, so if you are thinking you NEED to have one, then you should snag one now.

Though....if you miss out don't despair there will be another book coming sometime, again it will be limited edition and again all books will be ever so slightly different and come numbered.

also be on the lookout there will be more Moleskine sketchbooks coming too.....starting today and tomorrow there will be another batch, the last ones went pretty quickly.

ok now I must do the million things I have to do today and with any luck I just might be able to get some creative time in tomorrow.

1899

Good morning!

sorry for the no show with celeb letters yesterday, life got in the way and there were a lot of things that just had to get done, like...

7.5 miles to ride on the bike
lots of orders to package
finish up a special piece for someone special
having a panic attack
reading comics
making journals/sketchbooks

so there you have it, all that in one day...there was more too, but in reality it was the packaging that took the majority of the day...

So as you can see from my list...I was making journals/sketchbooks....now if the sun comes out today they will start being available today and they are limited and I did only one design of each, they will come in two sizes and they are done on beautiful moleskine journals....which if you never owned one, you really should, I keep one with me always just to jot down inspiration or sketch out a layout for a piece or an impromptu piece of poetry....

and yes sometimes I write mean notes in my moleskin and show them to my bubs if what I am thinking is to mean to say out loud.

I learned my lesson from the time I openly made fun of the fat hooker who was bending over with no undies in the grocery store while eating a bucket of chicken wings....yeah....NASTY.

anyway now those things get written in my book and shown to my bubs, in fact we have quite a collection, at some point we will probably compile them all together into some bad "street poetry" and performance art that is all the rage with the young and angry.

wait...where was I going.....oh yeah, moleskines....they are awesome.

also.................................I am currently at 1899 sales in my lil shop, so that means whoever (or is it whomever....I have no idea, this is what I missed out on by studying acting in an art school instead of going to "real college"), anyway, lucky #1900 will receive a FREE 8x10 original collage, because you know how much I love, love, love celebrating milestones.

Speaking of milestones I am approaching my 400th blog post, can you believe it...yikes that is a lot of blah blah.

anyway, the picture shown today is of a brand new Marilyn Monroe collage in my shop, I did a large special order of Marilyn based pieces for someone and now I have Marilyn fever again, so expect to see more, and soon.

The other piece shown with her is a new architectural based piece as well, that too will be available later today.

ok....now must consume coffee and read celeb gossip sites (yeah, I did not give them up for my resolution, I just couldn't)

***EDIT- I have started to add the sketchbooks to my shop, they are photographed above.
