1. Creative Work Fund: I got the Creative Work Fund Grant...now what to do. I think I'm supposed to work with a youth group to come up with a series of posters concerning anti-violence.
2. Art of H*stle I just took a three part series concerning the business side of art with KSW hoping that it would help me in reinventing myself due to the bad economy and lack of business. It cost me $75. Did I learn anything? It was mostly a refresher course in small business management. Geared toward people going into it. The internet and social network marketing was interesting.
3. Sleep: My average sleeping hours....9AM to 3PM.
4. UCSD: My son transferred to UCSD. I drove him and his bike down. Now that will cost me $30,000 a year!
5. WGUISFCT: Had a great time coming back up from San Diego on my own. I connected with a handful of people of WGUISFCT in San Diego and Los Angeles. It's interesting how WGUISFCT has effected my life.
6. Canceled: CNSC gave me a last minute 500 T-shirt job with one week. They didn't have the artwork set and undecisive on the artwork. I began doing the artwork for them. Only to be told they cancel.
7. Panels: I bought ten 4' x 4' birch panels and plan to paint nine dragons by January for an art exhibit in Sebastopol. So far I haven't painted anything. I hope to sell them.
8. J-Town Arts: J-Town Arts got evicted from our space at the old YWCA building in Japantown. The rent was only $225 a month for like a 750 square feet space. We couldn't even come up with that. I feel so disappointed. I've taken a hiatus from the group.
9. Deep Roots New Shoots: That is the name of the exhibit that is currently on at the National Japanese American Historical Society's gallery which I am a part of. It has two panels of my mural on exhibit.
10. Pheonix Rising Mural: I painted this 8' x 20' background for the Cherry Blossom Festival...did I mention that?
