Choices

“One’s philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.“ – Eleanor Roosevelt

What Happens When We Pass

The tiger will come.

Modern Women

Modern Women is the name of new music and art projects created by myself and collaborators. It took so long to come up with a name. Now that I have a name I feel like I'm finally able to make stuff. Maybe the name was all that was stopping me? especially excited by googling it and having NOTHING come up.

David Weissman Interview Up

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to sit down and talk with David Weissman, a filmmaker and organizer living in Portland and San Francisco.
You can view the resulthere, at the other place I blog.

Have to admit it's getting better

Now a Days

How have I been feeling? mostly, like this:

when you are walking down the street, totally satiated because you just ate a yummy meal and are humming a tune to yourself, because no one is around you on a sunny morning. You catch a whiff of a sweet, sweet cinnamon roll massage your nostrils and you breathe in deeply. You don't need to go in the shop to buy one, because you are not hungry. You just want to enjoy life, to savor looking at the child in the stoller watching her hippy mom do yoga stretches at 7 am on the sidewalk, and see a happy, grinning dog running after their human partner. Content. Moments like that have been crowding my days now more, after the horrendous month I experienced in April. Enough armchair poetry for one post. Here is some real news in my life.

New York City!!!! My work will be up here:

Am shipping it next week and am excited! PDX artists in the Big Apple. The first time since like 2004 that artwork of mine has been on the East Coast.

Am working also on my friend Susan's candy zine. cute idea. There is a Yoko Zine of my own that will be hitting the printers next week, too. But will not be available until June, most likely.

Then in August I'll be showing at Homo A Go Go!
More on that as it transpires.

Also very much in my brain is artwork/installation I am going to have up at my new friend Emily Baker's fantastic shoppe, Sword and Fern. The theme is healing, childhood, and inspiration. in the form of does. Again, more on that. That will be up in June! So I better get started on it, ha ha.

Are these posts boring to my 3 readers? I mostly just do it for myself, but maybe I should develop some good jokes to tell on the blog.
