My lucky tattoos - Old School-Style Hearts.
Adorable.
I woke up this morning after a twelve hour "sleep" - I think I died for twelve hours instead of actually slept. My poor little bones. After a series of yet more completely twisted dreams (I dreamt that I was 9 months pregnant, and I was pounds shots and beers, and nobody cared.), I then woke up to an unplanned psychotically busy/productive day. My life literally took a turn for the best today. Let me fill you in.
I've had this "secret project" that has been in the process of being planned out for a few months now. For once, I have actually been able to halt the teasers and keep my mouth shut about it, simply for the fact that I continually jinx myself. My good friend is a born genius at web design, so we collaborated on this genius idea. Unfortunately, I can't give you the full detail on the project until the site launches, but to give you a little insight on what's going down, it's basically a fully music-based website that will act as an outlet for indie/underground artists, shedding a little light on their work, getting them out in the world without them having to sell out and be "that band" that we all frown upon. (We hate mainstream.) The site is called The Lineup. And it's really an incredible thing. I'm so excited to blab about it once the site launches!
About two hours after digging into the first orders of business for The Lineup, I got a phone call from someone asking if I had ever considered showing my art in galleries. Of course I had. It's on my Mini Dream list of things to accomplish in life. Any artist would jump at the opportunity to have their art in galleries. After talking to this guy for a little while, he offered to do partial leg work for me in getting my art into galleries. He immediately called some galleries, and they agreed to see my work. I was dumbfounded. Really? Is this all happening in a matter of a few hours? My life is disgustingly artistic right now. And this is EXACTLY where I always dreamed to be. Maybe those tattoos I got on Friday are my lucky tattoos.
So, I will be putting all of my art into portfolio form (hello hours of eyeball strain), while simultaneously working on a laundry list of things for The Lineup. I knew something good was coming. And if this isn't it, then I don't think I can handle what's next to come.
Life is good. Dreams DO come true. Just have a little patience and a solid focus, and it'll all come in stride.
