I am typing this blog entry with my heart still beating out of my chest. As a resident of Virginia for most of my life, I have had the luxury of never experiencing earthquakes...until today! I realize now that in an emergency I will more than likely freeze like a deer in headlights, run out screaming with no shoes on (once it sinks in) and just want to go home and crawl under the covers. Freaked out!!
Anyways, I have just today subscribed to Juxtapoz magazine. I have been meaning to do so for quite some time. I guess the threat of dying in earthquake rubble really makes you consider living life. I couldn't put it off a moment longer.
FYI: If you decide to subscribe to this amazing magazine; you can usually find some deals online. I got a year's subscription and a free book of my choice (I chose the Juxtapoz erotica) for $29.99. Basically, it's a magazine that celebrates the urban alternative & contemporary underground arts. Interviews and articles on amazing lowbrow artists and much, much more. And yes, for my literately-challenged friends...there are pictures. (Of course, if you are unable to read than you will miss this blog too).
I also finally got around to ordering my blank deck today. Should arrive in the next week or so. I already have a great piece of art in mind ready to come to fruition. Sneak "peek": It's all about feelings...or, actually...the lack thereof, depending on how you want to suck it in through your eyeballs.
I have my submission all ready with the exception of framing, to the Ciotti Colori juried show at PONSHOP. All entries are due this weekend. Any artist that has volunteered to be in the Via Colori street arts festival in September is welcome to bring in their piece and showcase their own art style. No other show guidelines except that. Artists- Come as you are! Opening night will be First Friday September 2nd, 2011.
