i know a lot about closing doors, but not enough about what opens up yours.

Still working on getting settled back into “normal life” (I use the term “normal” very loosely). Spent the majority of the weekend in Oklahoma City, so it was great to see my friends again. I loved my team, but I did miss having my weirdo friends around.
Just a heads up, I just updated all my print/product pricing. I haven’t raised my print prices since I started my business three years ago, and it was about that time. Everything is listed under “investment”, and if you have any questions about any of it just shoot me an email!
Now a little randomness… Because I missed that.
1. Andrew freaking Belle
I have a tendency to become a little obsessed when I find a new artist I like. Lately it’s been Andrew Belle (courtesy of Laura). I don’t even have a favorite song…his “The Ladder” album is lovely.
2. My hair is back to normal.
(Again, using the term “normal” loosely.)
I finally took the cornrows out yesterday. Mostly because I was tired of being stared at like a crazy person.. I may make it my life goal to make it okay for white people to have cornrows. COME ON AMERICA!
Anyway.. I couldn’t resist taking some photos. I only liked one. haha
I call it, “Afrocan”.
I am also retarded.
3. BEN KWELLERRR!
Got to OKC Friday night, and my sweet friend Jessica informed me that Ben Kweller was playing at OU. Heather will vouch for this…there was more than one happy dance. I was so excited! I didn’t take my camera with me and we didn’t stay for long, but it brought back so many good memories. He’s such a goofy looking cat but he’s one of my favorite people to see live. Bless him.
4. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Heather and Cash talked me into watching this Saturday night.
I was fairly skeptical when Heather started describing it to me, but I actually loved it. And that’s saying something…I can never sit through movies.
5. Jumped right back into W.R. when I got home.
I kinda missed that too.
Tonight I shall stay up. My sleep schedule has been so…normal…since I got back. I’ve been going to bed before 2am and waking up before 10am. SO LAME.
So tonight I’m going to stay up until sunrise and work on a freaking huge (36×48) painting for my big brother. Honestly, I’ve never been so nervous about a painting…it’s almost as big as I am…
peace.

P.S. New favorite boots!

I just wanted to tell you that your pictures of yourself and of the world around you are magnificent. Every time I see your pictures I get goosebumps. They are perfect you capture the world the way every one should see it. I would love to have just half your talent. I just thought you should know just how moving your photos are.

I just want to say that I find you to be an incredibly inspiring person. I am hoping to be (one day soon) at a similar point in my life as you are. Making a living doing what I love, and feeling inspired which helps me continue to grown. Thank you.
I don’t care what anyone said, you’re hair was HOT with the cornrows/fro.
