If I was any good at the Internet, I would have remembered to say something about this BEFORE disappearing for a few weeks. I was on vacation from everything, which is why there have been no new posts or art from Spirals In Love.
I'm hoping to jump back into painting in the next day or two, and I'm waiting for confirmation from the Issaquah Art Walk about whether or not I'll be allowed back within city limits for Friday's Art Walk. If that happens, you'll be the first to know. Because that's how much I love you.
I was asked at the last minute to fill an art walk vacancy at the West Seattle Art Walk tonight. I'll have a table with prints and trinkets for sale outside and my art (including a few new pieces) will be hanging inside Shoofly Pie for tonight only. Come on by for some art and pie!
I started this minotaur giving up on the maze a long time ago and hated it. But I just got a book on Greek mythology from a yard sale and decided to finish it. I also started a painting of Icarus, which looks exactly like every painting of Icarus ever.
I'm pretty sure that quoting Monty Python lyrics causes my art blogging license to be revoked. This means that I will need everyone to donate at least $1,000 because it costs about $100,000 to get a blogging license. This Justin Beeber thing just isn't paying the bills.
"The Galaxy Song" by Monty Python
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown, And things seem hard or tough, And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft, And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough,
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour. That's orbiting at ninety miles a second, so it's reckoned, A sun that is the source of all our power. The sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see, Are moving at a million miles a day, In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour, Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars; It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side; It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick, But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide. We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point, We go 'round every two hundred million years; And our galaxy itself is only one of millions of billions In this amazing and expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding, In all of the directions it can whiz; As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know, Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is. So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, How amazingly unlikely is your birth; And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space, 'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!
Because I apparently have nothing better to do, I was searching facebook and found this fan page for Justin Bieber. It looks like they spelled his name wrong, but other than that it seems to be off to a pretty good start. Granted, I haven't seen that many pictures of the guy, but I think it's pretty remarkable how much like my art he looks. I'm wondering if perhaps I am the architect of this entire sub-universe and maybe just forgot about the fact that I drew international music and film superstar Justin Bieber into existence.
Despite the fact that the bulk of my art blog/site traffic is coming from spam URLs in Russia, I continue to post new work. I like to think that the little SpamBots get bored with their work (it’s so repetitive!) and appreciate a little distraction in the form of a monster eating a cookie or something.
Anyway, I finished a few things and it turns out I had even more things finished a while ago that I forgot to scan and upload so that’s done now too. Prints can be ordered from the following links or by contacting me directly at spiralsinlove@gmail.com.
You can also order prints and a few other items from my profile there (http://www.redbubble.com/people/spiralsinlove). I mention it because even though I'm not very active in the community there a couple of the new pieces that I uploaded got featured in groups. If you hurry on over you might still be able to see my paintings in the very small “Featured” section. That’s practically the same as being a celebrity!
