My MacBook Pro says it's full--remember the grief it was giving me at Art Unraveled, when it refused to upload photos or videos? I thought it was iPhoto, but now I'm pretty sure it was all the dang videos from way, way back. Years back, when I was using this as my primary computer.
So I'm going through and deleting the ones that are duplicated on the iMac and moving the others to the external hard drive because, you know, with a terabyte of memory, it should have enough room for them. Wouldn't you think? And I found this one and just lost it. I laugh like a crazy person every time I watch this. It's old--it's from a book signing for the last book, Creative Time & Space. [What? You don't HAVE that book? Oh, my goodness. Go here and get it right away.]
In the meantime, you can watch this again and snort along with me. I wonder if I could get Becky to come to the signing for the new book? Oh, yeah--I forgot to tell y'all we're setting up signings. Oops. I'll try to get those posted ASAP. In the meantime, though:
(In case you didn't figure it out, Becky is the one who figured out how to turn my hair orange. The tattoo was designed for me by her daughter, Sarah, who copied my tattoos onto her mom's arm with markers just for the book signing. And Becky, fabulous person that she is, cut and dyed her hair for this, too (it was on Halloween, so she had an excuse). No, she doesn't have those tattoos, and no, her hair isn't anything like this In Real Life. It was just a fabulous one-day adventure, which delighted me no end, as you can tell. She was the manager at the Barnes and Noble cafe, so she had to be there anyway. Is she the coolest or what?)

I love this. I think this is the first video of yours I saw a year or two ago. I like how you are making the world safe for creating. I really, really needed to see this. I had my art professionalism called into question yesterday... was told I was attending art meetings I had no permission to attend and to top it off... I was also told I was doing so with "an agenda." The whole thing was crazy and a bit nasty. You don't expect a university art instructor to be so unprofessional in a public meeting. And it stirred up all these feelings "well maybe ... I don't belong... not good enough... the world doesn't need to hear my story.... ugh..." I want some tattoos like those!
I have been visiting your blog for a short time and I have to just say that I love visiting with you. SO positive and fun and REAL. Thank you. =)
I'm so sorry, Kathryn. I hope you can do what I do: just keep telling yourself, "It's not about me; it's about him." People try to make their own issues look like our issues, but they never are. XO
Thank you for coming to visit, Sherry! And I'm glad you like my favorite video. Whenever I feel like laughing like crazy, I can just watch it.
Totally love this! Made my laugh, and I wish you both were here. I'm hosting Art Night this week. Friends. Wine. Art stuff. Want to come and play?
I like what Kathryn said "I like how you are making the world safe for creating." Ditto for me. And Kathryn, I agree with Ricë, it's about him, not you. My guess is he's not feeling safe, so is spreading the squeebie-jeebies.
Ricë and Carolyn... Oh my gosh, I hadn't thought about that. "It's about him" makes me look at it in such a different light. I love that idea. Thanks for pointing that out. I shall pick up the needle and stitch onward and upward. Woot!
Yes! We want to come!
