Meming time again....What were you doing 10 years ago?
I had either just moved to New Zealand, or I was just about to move to New Zealand. It was a scary, exciting time for me, and one of the best things I ever did.
Five things on your to-do list for today
Write.
Read.
Paint.
Draw.
Play with the Tiny Dynamo.
(not necessarily in that order)
(What can I say? La Vie Boheme is La Dolce Vida up in here!)
Two Words: SECRET VOLCANO LAIR, baby!!!
Seriously, about five years ago I quit worrying about money. My life now is *exactly* what I would want if I had a billion bucks, just with shabbier clothes, house, etc. I do my best every day to humbly serve the talents I've been given, and there's always enough money there by bedtime.
always take the train into Paris), it seems to me that *actually* having one billion dollars would be a job in itself. And not a fun one. Even if I managed NOT to be one of those 'Winning the Lottery Ruined my Life' stories, I do believe the constant demands of dealing with that kind of cash would detract from my art.
What are three of your bad habits?
1. Action. (The title of this blog might just as easily have been Ready, FIRE, Aim!)
2. Horizontal Organization. (Or, as the Tiny Dynamo puts it, clutter.)
3. Coffee rings. (The not-so-secret ingredient to the Full-Throttle lifestyle has a dark side of its own...)
What are some snacks you enjoy?
1. Baby Ruth bars, unavailable in New Zealand (my penance for life in Paradise)
2. Whittaker's Chocolate, the finest in the world imho
3. Coffee. It is snack, beverage, pick-me-up in the morning and relaxing break in the middle of the day. Teacher, mother, secret lover......
What were the last five books you read?
1. Severance Package, by Dwayne Swierczynski
2. Frank Frazetta: ICON

I've pretty much spent my life doing creative work.
1. Tattooist
2. Illustrator
3. Cartoonist

5. Painter (like gallery shows, with the wine and the cheese, not houses, with the overalls and the dropcloths...)
What are five places where you have lived?
