Art Hopping Good for your Heath

Heard on GMA News today:

Socializing is so good for your health that if you don't it is the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day! .... Perhaps those who smoke don't have much of a social life and if they went to ArtHop they would smoke 15 ciggies less per day!!!!

Better yet: Don't smoke, go to Arthop, live long and prosper.

underdog

i've been drawing since i can remember. i started running away in my drawings since i was an abused child. I was inspired by the book "harold and the purple crayon". He could draw himself anywhere he wanted to go. So I drew myself running away to far away lands, living like a princess and riding dragons.

I didn't finish high school. I took a few drawing classes at city college when i was 17. I've won awards, had some shows, and worked in several studios.

latitude and longitude

Alas, distance is anxiety personified in elements

she flows her way through the winding streams
Just to lye next to him ..
the second heart chamber watchs helpless and hauntingly
trying desperately to squeeze together the spa… Continue

the sand drifts whisper across the dunes as the sea bellows back with an exquisite answer sun glints and stings the sand with truth and the emptiness of me carries the melody through my core i am nothing but a discarded shell would you scour tide pools if that's where i was to be? or is the vastness of the sea casting doubts on you as well? an alabaster tone rings true my feet are hanging over the edge for you sand coarse's questions through the windblown holes of my soul "how could you think yo… Continue
