Well…went to the show following the 24 hour creative marathon. First, bonus ’cause $2 to get in and then food! Pizza, dolmas, humus and pitas, cheese plate, veggi plate, muffins, cookies….sweet.
One of the girls I was hanging with last night, Jess, wanted to buy my painting for my asking price ($cup of coffee and a song) and I was happy…even more happy when, right before Briggs and I left, someone I DIDN’T already know heard us all talking and asked if I was the ‘coffee and a song’ person, and when I confirmed it, he told me that HE wanted to buy my painting…he and Jess fought over it a little, and though he did promise a lounge song, I had already promised it to her…but I gave him my card and he gave me his, explaining that he has a cartooning museum or something along those lines.
Overall, it felt cool to have my painting fought over, and even BETTER that the other person who wanted it wasn’t a pre-existing acquaintance and was someone involved professionally in the art world. I’m going to make him a print so long as the pictures come out well, which Briggs tells me they should.
To round our evening off, we went grocery shopping and managed to purchase a respectable amount of food (meal parts and everything) for $60.
And now I’m home and get to sleep…the day just keeps looking up!
Tomorrow some of the local museums (the Aviary and the Science Center) are free, so Briggs and I are going to go.
