An Artist Lives Here

Ah yes, it’s Monday and I’m just getting in from my morning walk.

My apartment is a mess, but an artist lives here. My LITTLE people keep taking over and I find myself unable to keep them under wraps. But it’s a good thing; it means that inspiration and passion are still here. I’ll do some cleaning and organizing today; a clean space always helps with letting new ideas appear.

The other day, I imagined what my gallery/work space would look like; I have a clear vision of the shape, the colors and even the logo. Now it’s just a matter of making it happen. If I could have anything, I would want this space. It would be a dream come true. But aside from the physical space, I’m going to start thinking about what I would want the space to be about. I don’t want it to just be an art space with my own work; I want something different. Hm!?

The piece here is titled, “No Solicitors.” I’m submitting the image as part of a group show for the Photo Response Project hosted by the Art House Coop in Brooklyn. Out of 5 photos, I chose photo #5. The idea of Mickey and Mini Mouse soliciting propaganda past a mousetrap inspires it; I found it funny. I hope it makes you smile. It reminds me of when we were kids and my little sisters would slam the doors on any solicitors coming to our front door. HA!

Until Friday, have a great week ahead.

Cheerios and Cheese!
