Look I'm famoose

There is a profile/article in the newspaper out here on me this week so all the guys in 7-11 are teasing me.;).
eep!.
It's online too so I'll link to it easthamptonstar.com/feature
The real article (in the paper) included two black and white pics of my artwork also, one of 'Mending (detail)' and one of 'Kayla's Community' so that was nice. I kindof hate the pic of me there...I was feeling awkward/self-conscious/stiff. But anyhoo the article is pretty good overall so I'm happy. You never know how a writer will present stuff from an interview...and our talk was really, really casual when he came over so I had no idea what he would put in.

Too bad he didn't get the meaning of Puja right. That's very important to me...but I should have explained fully I guess.
Maybe I'll send him this link that puts it quite well. Just for future reference I suppose since it's too late for the article.
But anyway...nice to be sortof famous. hahagulp

Awww! Congrats hon! I've been buzzing from recognition at work, too. It feels so wonderful, doesn't it?!

We should hang out. Soon!

Enjoy it.

I was once on the local news in my city. The next day people were like, "Hey! You're that guy who was on the news!" Day after that, everybody forgot.

Life is the short attention span theater. Maybe that's a good thing.

This is so cool. I want to say "I'm proud of you!' but I don't know if that's appropriate 'cause I don't know you that well. But I'm proud of you:-)

Must be real nice to see your ART recognized. I hope to someday to be published, which is why the article is an encouragement. I'm sure that you've worked very hard. I don't know...to make a living, or at least see some returns, from your Art must be gratifying. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Anytime a publication or anyone for that matter decides you and your work are worthy of publishing, that people would be interested in reading about you and see your work... that's nice. Giving interviews is so rough! You never know wHaT is going to be taken out of context. It's a well written article. If I hadn't been exposed to your work before, the article would make me want to. Congrats!!!!!!!
