Who's afraid of 4 inches?


So, you know I'm an artist, right? No, seriously, I am. Stop laughing, that's rude, I majored in Fine Arts at LSU and also got an associate degree in Graphic Design. No, I'm not kidding. Before this crap job I was the creative director for a display and design company and of course the natural career progression from there is right into telecom, so that's proof right there. But really, a visual artist. Plus the Roommate thinks of me as an artist, so there. I even create "art" still (finishing up another triptych) so of course I was intrigued by the "4 x 4 show". This is a juried show (taking up to 100 pieces) and the artwork can be no larger than four inches by four inches. The bad news is the artwork has to be turned in to the gallery by this Friday. The good news is it's only 4 frickin inches, so how long could that take? The painting shown here is one of mine but luckily I'm a bad photographer so you can't tell how bad of an artist I am.

I think I'll wait till Thursday night to start working on it. Believe me, I've done 4 inches before and it's nothing to be scared of.
