Okay. So, I’ve been a little grumpy and complain-y lately, but I’m going to use this space to gush for just a moment. First, I want to thank you, Taco Bell. Your “beefy 5-layer nachos” are amazing. As a starving artist, I’ve found something I can live off of for $0.79 a meal. I wish this was sarcasm, but it’s not. No <sarcasm> here. These are honestly amazing. Maybe it’s because I didn’t eat for a good 12 hours before I had these nachos, but wow! I digress. Onto more important things.
Lia (check out her site here) collaborated with me tonight on a photo shoot. The hair and makeup were – as you can imagine by looking at her portfolio – impeccable. But, what blew me away, was her attention to detail. She put forward great suggestions on clothing, lighting, and even posing. She created a warm, comfortable atmosphere on set. After the shoot, I basically thought “I need a Lia at every shoot.” She’s not paying me to say this, I swear. Truly a great experience. Whatever comes out of it wouldn’t have been possible without her. When the work develops (pun intended) I’ll certainly post information here. Thank you, Lia!
The third very special thanks for today goes out to Portia-pie. I won’t even try to use my words to explain how much you mean to me. Your support and passion extends into much of my life, and I sincerely thank you for that. I wouldn’t be at this happy place right now without you. Call it kismet, fate, or random good luck, you’re amazing. No more words on it, because they aren’t close enough. Thanks.

Happy Sunday? Maybe. Thanks to Ms. McGee for a special shoutout and page on her website here. I’m looking forward to showing more work at ArtWalk this month in downtown Jacksonville. Let’s hope for no rain or apparent-rain this time!
