Well, thats one way to get 'exposure'!

Don't you just wish you could sell your work for a fabulous price to some nice person that didn't want to put it on public display so everyone could say wierd things about it?

Fame scares the sh** out of me. I would like to be able to paint or write for the love of it and get paid a handsome sum. Alas, that means I would have to expose myself. Maybe thats a good idea. My next painting will be a nude, self-portrait. I don't think my children would appreciate it if I painted them nude, though. They even cringe at the 'bearskin' baby photos I have of them.

I know an artist that paints portraits of anonymous people and they all have her eyes. I think its pretty strange and slightly creepy. Her stuff is on display everywhere. It hasn't done her ego any good. In fact, she is constantly struggling with her identity. Maybe she has a multiple personality disorder and I don't know it. Anyway, it sells and she is quite the up and coming gal. Go figure!

And yeah - you do have to stay until the end of the school concert or talent show. I hate it when parents leave after their own child has performed.
