A while back, Meg and I were sitting at breakfast when she told me she had a really weird dream.
"Oh, really? What was it about?"
"I was dreaming you had a new body of work." (At this point, I was interested because I haven't started anything new lately and was pretty short on ideas)
"What was it?"
"You were painting superheroes Andy Warhol-style." Intriguing. She didn't have any more details, so I filed that away for future reference.
Fast forward to...May-ish. Anyway, I was looking through a Call for Entries at The Cottonwood Center of the Arts and saw an upcoming show called "Make it So" Fan Art Show and Cosplay Event." Well, this is fate, isn't it? I guess I have to paint some superheroes now, don't I? I ended up doing three pieces and brought them in. All three got accepted, and I was really proud of them.
It was quite fun really...it wasn't a "serious" art show (so low pressure) and we had a good time at the opening with all the cosplay going on. As an added bonus, one of my pieces was reprinted in our local alternative newspaper when they listed the show as one of their Indy Picks. That's the first time I've had anything I've done in print and that was exhilarating to say the least.
