tephra"... some days, you just want to paint happy gay anteaters in boxer shorts frolicking in the grass."
Back before I had my own Elfwood gallery, back when Elfwood was much smaller ("only" about 300 galleries with about a dozen artists each as I recall), I found Ursula Vernon's work. I drooled. I sulked (my art will probably never get that good). And I blushed like mad when she actually commented in my gallery. (um... still do blush actually, even 4 years later)
Anyway, I was looking through her VCL gallery and came across the happy gay anteaters. :)
How odd life is, somewhere along the line I made friends of Ursula's friends. Thinking about it like that I'm actually sort of amazed just who turns up on both my "oh my god, this person is so cool" list and on the "friends of my friends" list.
And as I'm typing this I'm wondering why I discount my own importance so much. Heck, I've met and chatted with people involved in a half a dozen or more high profile space projects. Some were even friends back when I was part of that circle.
Ugh. From amused to gloomy in the time it took to type this. I'm 30 and I think my life was a hell of a lot better a decade ago. :P
