This is the time of year that I move all my painting crap onto my back porch. I prefer to paint with natural light, so I get out there when I can and I stay out there.

I know that the "natural light" thing sounds like hippy-bullshit, but it works, and works really fucking well.

Plus, I get to sit outside all day and listen...

@silversurfer This was the best DLD yet! I had some Dark Lord on tap, but wasn't able to pick up my free bottles of it because I took off to central Indiana to visit my son the next day. 
silversurfer:
Wow, Dark Lord on tap.  Sounds great.

Every model I use for my paintings, (well, every one who I take the picture of) is just someone I met at a bar, and asked if they'd take their shirt off for a quick photo I could work from.

This woman wants to do it all the time, I've made a few paintings of her.

Starting work on something new. It'll be a shame to ruin my friend's nice body, but hey, a crappy artist's gotta do what a crappy artist's gotta do...

I'll post the paintings from the show, starting tomorrow (or should I post them all at once?).

Kate from the Northdown has a high opinion of me.

This nice lady saw my tiny painting on-line, and made a larger copy of it! I signed the back of it and made a little drawing of Gumballhead for her.

Here I am, VERY drunk, doing the "live

1) I think your taste in music sucks.

2) Seriously, you have really bad taste in music.

3) Why do you listen to this shit?

4) OH MY GOD, Seriously, do you even own any good music?

5) Please tell me your parents gave this record to you as a gift, and you haven't traded it yet.

6) You saw that band live? You would...

aww poor dog.  I had the opposite experience with dogs.  My ex husband had a rottweiler who liked me more.  Not sure why except I was the ONLY one who walked that beast of a dog.  My ex was seriously depressed and just slept and slept and ignored the dog I guess.  I love animals but I can't do dogs.  They are way too much work if you don't have a yard.  I was in LA so ya we didnt have a yard.  Lots of dog parks though.  We went out to eat once around the holidays with his family.  True horror story.  They hated me.  SO SO much.  When I met his mother for the first time I was really really sick with a cold or sinus infection.  I had worked a ten hour shift at work and came home.  I was EXHAUSTED.  When I arrived they were outside.  I parked my car and went to meet her.  I sat down on the curb.  I KID YOU NOT THEY HELD THIS AGAINST ME FOR LIKE YEARS!!  I really don't understand it.  They said it was rude for me to sit down.  :/  So his parents came to visit and we were going out to eat.  I didn't want to pet the dog because we were on our way out to eat.  His parents were super rich.  His dad was an obstatrician (sp?) at Cedars Sinai in NY.  So we were going to a really fancy place.  I just didn't want to smell like dog.  omg you would have thought I spit on the dog the way they acted.  I loved that dog.  He was a good dog.  I also didn't like him jumping on me because my balance was pretty bad because of my MS.  I couldn't win with his parents.  No way.  He is still single after being divorced from me for five? years now.  I am guessing his mother has a lot to do with it.  They were like best friends.  He spent more time on the phone with her than me.
