Still Here

1 min read
Today is my mom's birthday and she would have been 47.  It's bittersweet to be celebrating it but I am glad we did because she is one of the greatest people to grace this world with her presence.  It hurts to know that she is no longer living but as long as someone remembers her she will never truly die.

Happy Birthday Mom

That is what it feels like.  This morning a purple sunrise graced the skies, then the clouds came, my mother took her last fighting breath, and it started to rain.

It was like the sky itself couldn't contain its sorrow.  

My mother, Ann Margret, was an extremely strong woman who fought cancer for ten years but she never let it define her.  

My sister and I are trying to be strong but it is hard.  So. Damn. Hard.

I can only hope that we don't break under all of this.  Everyone is marveling at just how well we have been handling this.  Screw them.  We haven't been handling this just rolling with every punch and quietly bleeding on the inside.

Sorry I have been a little slow on responding but this computer is SUPER-DUPER slow and shuts me out half the time.

An EXTREME thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes and for following my craziness here! It means a lot to me because me life has been one giant mess as of late.  (Raising a glass of tea) Here is to hoping that it can only get better from here! ...or, you know, at least marginally better.

I am seriously hoping to get some art in this weekend...it's all just kind of laying around and looking at me like I am a looney. A remake of my lion, a tricked out swallow tail butterfly, and the horned lord are just a few.

Have a fantastic day!

Ugh, I just received the email with my grade for my latest equine anatomy report and all I can say is "I Don't Want to SEE YOU" while the other part of my brain is saying "OPEN IT!"
    It's not like I ever got less than a 93% on anything in this class but this is the hardest lesson that there is and I rewrote the damn thing three times because my computer erased it, my computer then died, and because I didn't think it was good enough.  Damn my head for being a freaking perfectionist!
    Soooo I went on a typing spree and before I could chicken out I emailed and hit the freaking send button.  Two weeks go by and my teacher gets back from vacation and now has emailed back.  To open or not to open?

Freaking out...

Oh by the way I have something that is so out of the ordinary to share very soon.  It is based on an old Irish tale and all I can say is wow for the happy colors.  Want a sneak-ity peek?  Click here and see what else I have been messing with without a freaking scanner! www.facebook.com/JayJinxAnnArt

I can finally get my hands on a scanner so by the end of Wednesday should have some new stuff up.  Working on a facebook page for my art along with making some new versions of some of the past Madness paintings as I am not thrilled with the way they turned out.

Also I am going to try and recreate Colour of Madness on a big board, using a bunch of water balloons, hand made paint, and BB gun.  (Should be fun, fun)

The shirt design for Colour of Madness is done but I want to make a couple more options to see which one is the best representation of the original.
