Merry F’ing XMAS!

Great morning world. I’m not normally one to use a ‘bad’ word, but after a long holiday season, it feels appropriate. I’ve got 2 more days of work before it’s all over and I can take a long breathe.

I’m not sure why, but for the past couple of months, I’ve been reminiscing about my very colorful youth. I’ve definitely had an interesting life. For a few years back in my 20’s, I made some interesting XMAS cards. I would put my everything into them, so far as dressing up in drag to make these cards memorable. In looking through my photo albums, I was inspired!

A couple of years ago, I took a photo of myself each day for 30 days straight. Curious about bringing back my homemade XMAS cards, the piece here is one of my self-portraits from that 30-day period. At some point, I hope to paint all of these photos. There is no title to the piece, but I especially love the intensity and almost sadness in my eyes. I’m curious about what’s to come in the year ahead.

For everyone, may it be blessed with the most amazing things imaginable! It’s up to each one of us how far we imagine. Cheers to the world we live in; it may not always be easy, but it’s definitely worthy.

Happy Holidays!
