Guitar



I need to take guitar lessons! I truly believe, in my lil creative heart, that an acoustic guitar would go swell with my revolutionary spoken word pieces...hmmmm. If only I could play (side eyeing my guitar collecting dust).

Projects

Painting: I just completed a painting of my friend’s son. He’s soooooooo cute, and I’m not a kid person, but he is someone I wouldn’t mind spending some time with. The painting actually makes him look like a black Gerber baby, but hey I’ll call it artistic interpretation and keep it moving. I’ll post a pic a soon as I bring it over to her. She doesn’t know its coming so shhhhhh.

Painting: I’ve had a headache for the past couple days now and decided to paint my interpretation of a migraine…a migraine colored interpretation. Migraines are such a big part of my life that I’m thinking of doing a couple pieces. Now I just need to find some canvases on sale.

Painting: I started some demons, I sketched them out in pencil and ink, and now I’m trying to transfer them onto canvas. I started by painting the backgrounds for my demons to dwell. That was like a month ago. I need to sit down and focus to finish making them come to life. I’m trying something different with them, I’m actually going to build them up off the canvas so parts of their lil demon faces are raised. This little experiment has cost me a hack saw and some plumbing pipes…when at first things go awry, keep trying…

Writing: The book (s), are coming along at a start and halt pace. It’s so frustrating because I’ll have the motivation to write, get in the zone, write about 8 pages, then fall off and stop for like 4 weeks. Or never even finish.

Writing: Working up the nerve to perform "Assumptions" at a spoken word venue. Where is Alise when I need her moral support?

Personal website: I just need the time to write up the content; everything else is pretty much done.

Keeping busy busy busy!
