Meet my new friend!

*Please note Miss Z and Miss J’s tiny feetsez on their wheels.*

This is my new friend.  His name is Vincent.  He’s from Holland.  He’s a louet.

I bought him from this morning from a nice lady that didn’t want him anymore.

I’ve figured out how to (kinda craptastically) spin and ply…with the help of Youtube.

*whistles*

…

…

…

It’s so beautiful! *loves it and despairs*

I’LL BE ABLE TO QUICKLY SPIN YARN AND MAKE CRAZY ARTIST YARNS TO USE IN MY ART!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Courage, cake, and masses of spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiining!

Lolcats ARTsCritz

Evidently, I’m feeling a little cracked and meme-ish today.

From Hyperalleric.

Lolcats stopped by the office today and asked the staff if they could write a review of a show. Wanting to get the non-hypoallergenic felines out of the office, we decided to take the Lolcats to the closest exhibition, seven @ SEVEN at the Boiler.

10 Reasons to Date Someone in the Arts

They will always have a friend who’s in a show, or having a reading, or playing a gig, or showing in an art gallery.

Which means you constantly get to go on cool, interesting dates.

2

Artists often get paid nothing, but the amount of free booze at these things almost makes up for it.

And everyone in the arts knows at least one bartender willing to give free drinks.

3

People who work in the arts often have relatively free/strange schedules.

Lots of late nights, yes, but also lots of randomly free weekdays for impromptu trips or day dates.

4

Artists are a fairly welcoming, accepting bunch.

You think your parents are weird? You haven’t been to arts school.

5

People in the arts are used to partying late into the night after a show or gig, no matter how early they have to get up the next morning.

In other words, they’ll never be ready to go home before you are.

6

They’re not repressed.

Given that they’ve devoted their entire life to the expression of human imagination, you can be pretty confident that someone in the arts is pretty in touch with their feelings.

7

Isn’t it everyone’s secret wish to inspire a song or a painting or a character in a book?

It’s not gonna happen by dating a banker.

8

They tend not to be high maintenance.

Someone in the arts is used to long hours and little pay and slices of pizza scarfed down at 1 am and rehearsing in hallways and commuting by bus and doing things on the cheap. And they know how to have fun in otherwise cramped/boring/uncomfortable situations.

9

People in the arts tend to have pretty good taste in music, books, art, etc.

So if you’re lacking in the aesthetics department, they can make you (or your apartment) look good.

10

Artists lead exciting, passionate lives.

And when you date them, you get to be a part of it for a while.

See, artists of all times are highly desirable commodities to somebody…even if our type of art isn’t.

It’s Circus Nerve Day!!! The happiest of all days! \o/

The opening’s today from 3-8, but the show itself runs until June.

Come to the show.  All the cool kids are doing it.

slacker=me

Okay, not really.

I’ve been running around with job interviews, tiny plantlings, making a new piece for Circus Nerve, and fighting off weather-induced migraines.

My life, it is full.

So, this week’s post is about half done (mostly because I forgot I have 30 images that I needed to, ya know, process).

To tide y’all over: Live Action Angry Birds movie trailer (not real unfortunately).

So, not the post that I had planned.

I ended up going to see Women Art Revolution at the Green Bay Film Society, so yeah, not really with what I was going to talk about; I still owe y’all.

So, if you haven’t seen Women Art Revolution, GO SEE IT! <–Or, if you Netflix, stream it.

It is AMAZING!

I can’t even begin to write about right now, ya know?  Just—!!!

Also, because Lynn Hershmann Lesson and Stanford are completely awesome, they have an entire online archive of pieces and footage that didn’t make it into the final film because Lynn didn’t want anyone, or anything, to be excluded from this history.

Oh, I want to write her a love letter! *SWOONS*

Courage and cake and art for all!

*flops down in a ball of tentacles*

Okay, I totally have a magnificent post about things I did this weekend and my 2nd Quarter Exhibit at the ARTgarage and the upcoming Circus Nerve show, but y’all, I am completely knackered and don’t have the energy to sort all those thoughts out into something other than squee-splosions.

Even the pot of tea sitting next to me is not helping that much:  it got me through the other two blogs (Gluten-Free Squid and Cecaelia Daily–Tumblr and WordPress) that I’m keeping, but happy!squid has run out of happy.

Therefore, tomorrow, my doves.

I leave y’all with this really craptastic picture of my exhibit.

The quirky image has to do with another artist having been in the way after having touched my art with neither permission nor respect.  *CRANKY*

Tomorrow, there shall be POST!

Courage and cake.
