I've put two paintings on auction at eBay.

(Please look. Please bid. I'm broke. :)

I'll also (finally) be selling prints shortly.

If you have a special request, if you wanted a specific painting that had been sold, let me know, huh? I haven't figured out which ones I'll be printing yet.

philosophically resigned so. yes.

he tells me his dreams every night.

11. Random fact about you?
"That I feed the hungry, forgive an insult, and love my enemy - these are great virtues.

(forgive me father lj for i have sinned

my last update was eons ago.)

i've been consumed by paint and friends and the evil empire of myspace.

my first visitor was the interesting and lovely ny based missouri girl pamela meyer of alchemy jewelry.
the mural behind us is wayne st. wayne's.

and then it was the brilliant stephanie greene aka perstephanie to me.
we've corresponded for 5 years and finally met when she came to st. lou
for the police concert. she took this photo of me on a rooftop on the fourth of july.

and here at the black madonna shrine and grotto where we encountered a scorpionic priest
who wanted to talk about the devil's work. i bought a st. dymphna medal. steph
found a black madonna patch. you should go there. it's beautiful.
we left our lady candy.

next was the perfectly enigmatic lisapink visiting from new york. i adore her.

we did the gallery thing. and the wine thing. lisa is one of the most interesting people i know.

(i did the dork thing.)

and perhaps one more visitor in august if i've not scared him away.
i tend to do that to men.
we'll see, we'll see.
