January

wowsa. It's been a while since I've been on here. Sorry guys.

So the long and short of it is, Japan is shockingly chilly in the winter. I was living in Denver before I came here: this shouldn't be a problem, right?
"Shouldn't be." Right. I think the difference is that it's not an unfamiliar level of cold, it's that it's cold ALL THE TIME. At home, at work, in the grocery store. Sometimes I go to the movies just because I know that it's gonna be heated in there. For real.

Weather aside, I have cultivated a wee paint-y nook in this cold and tiny space. I am grateful for this space, and its nook. I wish I could easily share more of the things that are being created here.


Spending more time applying for shows and residencies as a new year offers new possibilities along with looming deadlines. Craving less computer time and more mess under my nails. Pulling together an updated and satisfactory portfolio that represents better the current workings.

So I haven't really forgotten you, oh little blog of mine.
...But I suppose I should behave more like that is true...
