  <description>&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;its no fair&lt;br /&gt;Im am just utterly bored and unsatisfied if Im not painting&lt;br /&gt;but I guess thats the way it has to be.&lt;br /&gt;Its not all bad I guess&lt;br /&gt;out of my search for satisfaction, Im reading more, drawing, &amp;nbsp;and filling my eyes with visuals, to later be mixed together at&amp;nbsp; random, making for those images that&amp;nbsp;pop in my head at random.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but with all this boredom, I think too much, then all the stuff I try to keep in the back of me creeps up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ordered tons of canvas, so painting euphoria will soon come&lt;br /&gt;.............................................&lt;br /&gt;random image&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/girltoy.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when I was 3 my aunt bought me a doll as a gift. It was a monster like thing and &amp;nbsp;character from some childrens show.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I named it baby monster and I took it everywhere. I left it in stores, it fell in the toilet, and was once stolen and later I found it in the dirt on the corner of my street. It lost all its fur, it has no features, exept those hard plastic eyeballs (with no eyes) and a circle where its mouth should be. Its actually really ugly. I slept with that thing up until a few years ago. I stopped out of realization that Im almost 30 and sleep with a doll.&lt;br /&gt;the end&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh yes, I want to be snow white&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;current obsessions:&lt;br /&gt;Grimms stories&lt;br /&gt;Snow white&lt;br /&gt;dollmaking&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>I dont spell check</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_sugarcoated_/37548.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; sometime I wonder if its healthy to have such drastically emotional days.&lt;br /&gt;it can be in matter of minutes that my day goes for good too bad, then back again.&lt;br /&gt;I thought that it was just how it goes, but then I wonder am I really that emotional??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for instance Wenseday: morning=good, then after meeting with some this art guy, I felt sick and confused, then followed by sadness. Then a few hours later happy again.&lt;br /&gt;All my days have this emotional rollercoaster.&lt;br /&gt;I dont feel unstable, but I guess to others maybe it looks that way?&lt;br /&gt;But I feel like a happy optimistic person. hmmm I dont know its all confusing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;onward - &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday I took some of my work to a &lt;a href=&quot;http://323east.com/&quot;&gt;new gallery&lt;/a&gt;. yay!&lt;br /&gt;I really dig them&lt;br /&gt;they have supercool art, Im already trying to decide what I can afford to buy.&lt;br /&gt;And they seem to  be excellent on the proffesional side&lt;br /&gt;Im excited to be part of it. ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finished that commission.&lt;br /&gt;Im quite happy with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11&quot;x14&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/KFC1.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dont get commissions scanned, so it was left for me to take such wonderfully crappy pics&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/KFC2.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think thats all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;still working on new stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ALSO Im working on new designs for bags, maybe I might even do some clothing, but bags for sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;somehow I need to get back to some exercise, I feel mushy. and fudge brownie cookies have been finding their way in my tummy too often.&lt;br /&gt;bad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current obsessions:&lt;br /&gt;shoes&lt;br /&gt;fabrics&lt;br /&gt;trying to figure it out&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Its fun to do comissions, you get to do something you wouldnt normally do.&lt;br /&gt;for instance, the comissioner, says his alter-ego is Colonel Sanders, so he sent me a pic of him dressed up like that for halloween.&lt;br /&gt;So Im painting him dressed like Colonel Sanders on a big pull toy chicken.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;He will also be holding a bucket of chicken...I never thought I would be painting fried chicken in my life..haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &quot;Icon show&quot; is coming up in May, and I ended up painting Marie Antionette.&lt;br /&gt;I want to do another piece for the show, and I was thinking of doing Joan of Arc.&lt;br /&gt;why do I love France? I never knew that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So heres my Marie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y155/_sugarcoated_/ma.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used an actual portrait of her, but did it my way.&lt;br /&gt;I loved painting her.&lt;br /&gt;I was dying to paint a portrait style painting.&lt;br /&gt;I decided Im going to do more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thats all for now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh yeah I opened an etsy store. not much there just some prints and a couple dolls so far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5521145&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;my store&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;gonna go paint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current obsessions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;burnt umber&lt;br /&gt;plush&lt;br /&gt;tomato soup&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <description>&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;So ever since my last post about my squid doll, and all of your incouraging comments ( thanks you guys!)&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been making more dolls - I really love doing this - its so fun&lt;br /&gt;though I still have lots to learn - I just feel like there are no rules - and however they turn out, is just how they will be&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve always have loved dolls - I treated my dolls like my friends when I was a little one - &lt;br /&gt;so they feel like they are an individual - and I accept them for what they are&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/IMG_0031.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/IMG_0033.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;rabbit that eats the monsters that hide in your room&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/IMG_0034.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like this guy  ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/IMG_0037.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;vintage squid&lt;br /&gt;...........................&lt;br /&gt;thats all Im working on a victorian squid right now &lt;br /&gt;..............................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve also been slowly getting back to painting - getting backgrounds on&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve recently had a fascination with clowns&lt;br /&gt;I find it amazing how many people are afraid of them&lt;br /&gt;I know a lot who are - and at first I thought maybe it was overacting&lt;br /&gt;but after reading why people tend to be afraid, it makes more sense&lt;br /&gt;they say their exagerated features ( nose hands feet) scare children&lt;br /&gt;but  mostly - its their fake smile - with the slapstick clowns, that cause pain to each other with a smile on their face.&lt;br /&gt;As if they enjoy it - creepy for sure&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but that lead me to Peirrot the clown&lt;br /&gt;I like his character&lt;br /&gt;so Im working on a painting inspired from him&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current obsession:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;faith&lt;br /&gt;spring&lt;br /&gt;Saved by the Bell&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>10 things</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_sugarcoated_/36629.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;taken from the lovely &lt;strong&gt;missmeganmaude&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10 things I like - &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;(that arnt the obvious ones)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1: &lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;coffee&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; - Coffee is my comfort food. when I was a little one, I used to sneak and drink my mothers coffee.&lt;br /&gt;theres nothing more grand than sitting with someone having coffee and a great conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2: &lt;strong&gt;music boxes&lt;/strong&gt;: Ive never owned one - but would love to one day own one with changable disc&apos;s. maybe when I have 2 grand sitting around... -_-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3: &lt;strong&gt;Antique stores&lt;/strong&gt; - I love how cluttered they are, just crammed with stuff. And at that crammed with everything I love.&lt;br /&gt;you could look for hours and hours. Then maybe find something you love, that maybe someone&amp;nbsp;once loved &amp;nbsp;too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4: &lt;strong&gt;Bob Evans&lt;/strong&gt;: yes, its true. I love everything about that place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5&lt;strong&gt;:dives&lt;/strong&gt;: hole in the wall places, they remind me where I come from.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;d take a dive over a fancy place any day...I just wont use their bathrooms, or eat their food...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6:&lt;strong&gt; pinball&lt;/strong&gt; - Im seriously considering buying one. When we take our son to Chuck-E-Cheese, I go and play the Elvis pinball till I run out of tokens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7: &lt;strong&gt;banana flavored stuff&lt;/strong&gt; -( similar answer to missmeganmaudes) - &amp;nbsp;most people I know hate all the banana flavored stuff, like banana laffy taffy&apos;s, or the banana runts. But I love it&lt;br /&gt;I &apos;ll eat anything that taste like banana....thats not a real banana, I cant stand real bananas. The texture creeps me out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8: &lt;strong&gt;pipe smoking&lt;/strong&gt; - you know like the old men that sit around smoking their pipes, I love the smell.&lt;br /&gt;I always ask Aaron when hes old, if he will smoke a pipe.&lt;br /&gt;I know its bad, but whatever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9:Driving around catching glimpses in windows&lt;/strong&gt;: this is a popular one taken from &lt;strong&gt;missmeganmaude&lt;/strong&gt;, which she took from &lt;strong&gt;faerismak : &lt;/strong&gt;Im glad Im not the only one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I , in general love peaking into anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10: &lt;strong&gt;garden knomes&lt;/strong&gt;: I dont have a garden, nor am I capable of keeping a plant or flower alive.

  <description>&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;I didnt realize it was so long ago that I last posted -_-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ended up getting sick again, but this time it didnt last very long, Im still a little congested, but I&apos;ll take that over my-head-feeling-like-its going-to-explode-but-never-does.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lots of laying around watching garbage on the T.V. I found myself watching a marathon of Rock of Love 2, oh the things sickness makes you do. Thank God for the Wii, it saved me from going insane with bordom. We downloaded Super Mario World from the Super NES. I forgot how hard old Nintendo games were. Lots of cursing at the TV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;getting better means getting back to work.&lt;br /&gt;I have lots that I want to get done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was talking with a friend about my clothing and accessories, and how I want to get back to it.&lt;br /&gt;for a little while I really wanted to end that whole thing. I didnt want to spend time sewing, I would rather paint.&lt;br /&gt;It didnt really feel part of me. I tried to keep &quot;SugarCoated&quot; seperate from Audrey.&lt;br /&gt;But I think combining the 2 is what I need to do.&lt;br /&gt;I really like making accesories more than sewing up clothing.&lt;br /&gt;So I think I&apos;ll be concetrating more on bags, scarves, and I want to start making pins.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ll still make the occasional outfit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also want to start making dolls.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I made a Squid doll the other day that went together with a painting of mine.&amp;nbsp; and really enjoyed it. I&apos;ll have to get a pic of it.&lt;br /&gt;and for a while I&apos;ve been wanting to make rabbit dolls.&lt;br /&gt;So Im gonna start making those too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I&apos;ll be to opening an etsy store selling my art prints, accesories and dolls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FredFlare is having a &quot; &lt;a href=&quot;http://fredflare.com/customer/nextbigthing.php&quot;&gt;next big thing&lt;/a&gt;&quot; contest, that I want to enter. I was think of entering my &quot;dead bunny scarf&quot; But Im afraid I might get animal lovers sending me hate mail. even though by no means am I trying to make a statement. I think its funny, but I&apos;m not sure if others will. I worry about stupid stuff like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;other junk:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did these little boxes before I got sick.&amp;nbsp; there was this whole thing I was going to do with them but I canned the idea. I guess I just keep them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y155/_sugarcoated_/IMG_0183.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tomorrow is Easter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gave up Chocolate for Lent.&lt;br /&gt;40 days with none of it.&lt;br /&gt;and everywhere I looked &amp;nbsp;those little devil girl scouts&amp;nbsp;where &amp;nbsp;selling their&amp;nbsp; devil cookies.&lt;br /&gt;so tomorrows breakfast will be a box of Peanut Butter patties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current obsessions&lt;br /&gt;chocolate&lt;br /&gt;chocolate&lt;br /&gt;chocolate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_sugarcoated_/35608.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; Im a little dissapointed that I was so late getting this done, with everything that happened in January, everything got backed up pretty bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So its for &quot;Lyres suite&quot;, a show featuring string instuments that Detroit artists &quot;re-vamped&quot; I suppose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;at first I had no idea how to go about doing it. I never really painted on a surface like that.&lt;br /&gt;So I ended up sanding it ( pain in the butt)&lt;br /&gt;I started to use acrylics, but I cant control them like I want.&lt;br /&gt;So I had to sand it again&lt;br /&gt;I gave it like 4 coats of gesso.&lt;br /&gt;then used oils.&lt;br /&gt;it still was a little odd, but it made for keeping it the way I wanted it to look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y155/_sugarcoated_/frontsmall.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Im in love with vintage childrens furniture and decor. Lots of strange animal images.&lt;br /&gt;soft and a bit creepy&lt;br /&gt; I felt it fit &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I replace the strings with yarn&lt;br /&gt;and that bunny skull was a major pain as well&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y155/_sugarcoated_/audreyviolinresized.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;these pics are crap as usual&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y155/_sugarcoated_/violinback2.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so thats that&lt;br /&gt;Im excited for the show.&lt;br /&gt;I feel grateful to be in a show with so many great Detroit artist (Niagara  &amp;amp;  Glen Barr *o*).&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m a very happy girl for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...................................................................&lt;br /&gt;other stuff&apos;s&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got My Sims yesterday @ -@&lt;br /&gt;I love it to death, I played for 5 hours last night!! no no no!! I have work to do.&lt;br /&gt;Im fighting not to play it right now haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;......................................................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been feeling good lately.&lt;br /&gt;like a brittle junky layer of myself finally came off.&lt;br /&gt;^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current obsessions:&lt;br /&gt;Sims!!!!&lt;br /&gt;getting back into shape -_-&lt;br /&gt;family&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I got a chance to think about things since I couldnt do much else.&lt;br /&gt;so Im feeling better physically and mentally ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thanks again!!&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;3 &amp;lt;3 &amp;lt;3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;current obsessions&lt;br /&gt;control&lt;br /&gt;love&lt;br /&gt;strength&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_sugarcoated_/34946.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;to all my LJ friends, I will appologize for being such a bad friend.&lt;br /&gt;I really do enjoy all of you, I have been reading your entries, but my mind has been so occupied.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been much too busy, that I started to realize all the failing I was doing as a human.&lt;br /&gt;I felt/feel more like a machine.&lt;br /&gt;on Tuesday night my grandmother passed. and while I was standing in her room, watching&amp;nbsp;this amazing wonderful person&amp;nbsp;go, I finally realized&amp;nbsp;all the neglect, and failing I was doing to myself and to others.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;and though, Live Journal isnt a real concern in the grand sceme of it all, but its just one of those little things, that I really enjoyed that was overtaken by my new machine robot self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so I will try to to take time everyday to sit, think, talk, read, and enjoy...you know, all those things humans do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;3&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>Wyandotte art fair</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_sugarcoated_/32452.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;so Saturday was the last day of the art fair&lt;br /&gt;we were there for 4 days - 9am-10pm&lt;br /&gt;it was insane - I was so tired&lt;br /&gt;but I really had so much fun - the stage for our tent was right behind us&lt;br /&gt;so I could listen and watch all the bands&lt;br /&gt;they gave us free Jimmy Johns and Vitamin water everyday&lt;br /&gt;needless to say, I dont ever want either one of them again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we did our best to take pics of everything,but ehh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/dap1.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my  table was in the front, and they placed me next to some rockin people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we ( the d.A.P) had our own section, which we had our tent, stage, beer tent, and a graffitti wall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/dap5.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/dap4.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/dap3.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought it was funny, these old ladies hanging out smoking in front of the graffiti wall&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;music and performers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;they had stuff going on throughout the whole day, but I only got pics of the stuff I liked&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/dap2.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;they were doing some brazillian martial art dance type thing - it was cool&lt;br /&gt;they all had perfect bodies&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/dap6.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike Woo - he was on for 2 hours, the most out of everybody&lt;br /&gt;tons of  artist were pissed off  - they said it was too loud - &lt;br /&gt;I loved it &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thursday&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/dap7.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My neighbors - Todd and his girlfriend Celeste - and Ryan G Hill.&lt;br /&gt;I didnt get any pics of Ryan, I thought maybe he wouldnt like that, but hes one of the coolest sweetest guys Ive met in a long time&lt;br /&gt;his art is really good too, we traded prints at the end yay ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/dap8.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/dap9.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;these guys drew a huge crowd&lt;br /&gt;they were very good and fun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/dap10.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremy ( gallery director, co director of the d.A.P, crazy canadian)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot;

They Live&quot; painting.&lt;br /&gt;at the end of Saturday, he gave Aaron another head, cause Todd  is kick-ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/dap13.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/cardinals.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the highlight to my day - The Cardinals - I booked them, the bassiest is my dear friend&lt;br /&gt;they went on at 1:30, so if the cranky artist werent pissed off yet that day, here was a reason for them to complain.&lt;br /&gt;And pissing off they did, it was great.&lt;br /&gt;the only punk band in the line up&lt;br /&gt;they kicked ass - considering Nick had to be &quot;phil fucking collins&quot; as he put it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/tom.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stole this pic from Nicks girlfriend, my camera was dead at the time.&lt;br /&gt;thats Tom, 19 year old sweetheart that was born a little too late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/dap14.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gabe told me he bought me a present, and I was trying to guess what it was.&lt;br /&gt;He  told me I would love it and cause it was really old and plays music.&lt;br /&gt;I cant believe my 7 year old can pic out such good gifts for me.&lt;br /&gt;and I did love it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/dap12.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://home.comcast.net/~picstorage1/images/dap16.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;me and my bags&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeah and Saturday we got no pics&lt;br /&gt;it was crazy busy, and at that point we were done with the whole pic thing haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so yeah, it was fun, I sold some stuff, met cool folks, and got some future comissions. yay!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Im going to be selling the rest of the bags I have left.&lt;br /&gt;plus I have a cropped bunny ear jacket too.&lt;br /&gt;so check back later, if your interested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;current obsessions:&lt;br /&gt;relaxing&lt;br /&gt;September 11, 15th and 21st&lt;br /&gt;real food&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
