Right before my birthday I finally decided that I was going to look into showing some of the wax work that I've done over the last year or so and started off with an E-mail to this lady that organizes the U-District Artwalks. I sent her a couple samples of the work I wanted to display and she immediately responded, offering me a spot at the Starbucks down the street from my house. HOW AWESOME IS THAT!?! I was completely stoked. September was a really good month for me. It was so rewarding to see all of the time that I had put into these pieces finally pay off. There was such an excellent response to my work and I even sold one by the end of the month.
When it finally came time for take down in mid October, I messaged Gail
to confirm a good time and on the spot, she extended Starbucks wall
space to me for another month. I had plenty of other pieces to choose
from but ended up making 5 new ones within that week to have something
that, to me, seemed more cohesive. That was one of the most stressful
weeks, my car had broken down finally when my coolant system decided to
malfunction, I had new paintings to complete and install and I was
trying to figure out a way to and from work, but all the crazy ended
REALLY well.
