Goodmorning
1 min read
It's been so cold out lately, who wants to leave the house in such weather? Not me.
Alas, I'm slowly creeping out of the cave I've been in for the last couple of years. I've been "under construction" for as long as I can remember. That'll never change, but I've built myself up enough to function. So the elevator doesn't work; there's a terrible draft coming in from the missing walls; a "caution" sign dangles to my left, but oh well. I'm up and I'm working.
My shop: www.veeveeart.etsy.com doesn't have anything up, currently. But you can go stare at it, if you want.

Let me brag about my humbleness...
2 min read
I find it so difficult to express humility during this contemporary era of shameless self-promotion. How is it appropriate for me to assume people care to know what I'm doing and who I am? Twitter, facebook, blogs - countless web sites encourage pride when it is the meek that deserve praise.
So - I admit it: I am a hypocrite. A flawed human being full of pride and audacious self-worth. I cannot pull myself away from these websites that constantly instill one of the seven deadly sins -- not that I follow any of those "deadly sin" rules; however, for my mind and body's sake I cannot allow this era of self promotion preside over me and as a consequence become like all the others - the epitome of the term "internet whore".
Hence, I will continue to post mindless pictures, paintings, poems, remarks, thoughts, etc. onto this website as well as others (I simply find it so difficult to tear myself away from any opportunity to write, ramble, and "publish" my non-sense with the small hope that someone may accidentally stumble across my convoluted words). I will, however, refuse to become prideful of my work - absolutely refuse it. And while I am a genuine narcissist, my self portraits are either for practice or mediation. And a majority of them, upon completion, will find themselves out on the streets. Yes - on the streets. As much as I love to look at myself I refuse to keep paintings of myself in my house. I also consider selling paintings of myself borderline prostitution. Simply leaving my paintings on the streets should be the humbling experience I need in order to nullify the malevolent internet that has both stifled and ignited creativity.
Now, I must abstain from writing anymore. I see that I have, ironically, written too much about why I don't like talking about myself.
