sex trade involvement?

I've traced my fear of sky diving simply to my frustration with window blinds. I love the idea of skydiving, but I imagine that when it's time to pull the chord, it will be much too similar to the string you have to pull to close window blinds. They never work on the first pull and they always require a certain angle. Shit!
I'm pretty sure most skydiving doesn't involve any string pulling until the landing, so maybe I'd be ok.
In other news, I've been asked to do a mural at a massage parlour. Yes...THAT kind of massage parlour. At first I didn't like the idea of it, but what an interesting opportunity. I'd get to see what it's actually like in one of those places, maybe talk to some of the workers, and I could definitely put a redemptive, or ironic twist on my painting as long as I do it subtle enough. Think, Jennie...think.
Anyway, until next time, dream that you are an ancient wild tall grass warrior inhabiting high altitudes in which knights can't fight you because they're so out of breath, i do.

bawlin'

Last night I had a dream that I was wearing a wedding dress under an astronaut's space suit (pretty uncomfortable) and then I stole someone's motorbike and participated in the motorcycle charity toy run, until someone told me to go home, because I wasn't signed up.
Interpretations anyone?
This thanksgiving was great...I went bowling, canoing, quading, eating, visiting, ping-ponging, laughing, schuffleboarding....I have great relatives.
All those hours spent with my tyrannical ping-pong club brother really paid off this weekend...almost worth it.
Until next time, run out of silly shrugs and shame-dances every time you throw badly at the bowling alley, I do.

colour vs. creepiness?


So here is a pretty poor quality image of the painting I was trying to discuss in my last blog.
So, there you be!
My next painting plan has to do with Jacob and his father-in-law. It'll probably be a little more subtle, but we'll discuss that later.
Until next time, paint pretty mellowdramatic things, I do.
