Artistic legnths

This is a mysterious crystal skull, supposedly found on an archealogical dig in British Honduras in 1927. It's orgins are shrouded in mystery (of course, dummy!) but when examined by scientists at HP labs in the 1970's it was found to have been carved against the the natural axis of the crystal which means it is impossible for it not to have cracked. Researchers also found no microscopic scratches on it which wouls indicate that it was carved with metal instruments. They supposed that it must have been hewn with diamonds. Woah. They guesstamated that this method of construction would've taken about 300 years of man hours to complete. 300 years folks. Damn.
Well, my art projects will hopefully take MUCh less time than that, since my deadlines are comin' up next month. I've got an art show at The Delta of Venus, which is not only a seminal work of erotica by Anais Nin, it is ALSO a coffee shop in Davis that has really good food and lots of music and art. It's a Perg's type of situation, a little former house with small rooms that all link together. I'm thinkin' it's going to be a Kai's bargain basement show, with all of the paintings that are constantly falling over around here at cut-rate prices. And I want sock monkeys too. I'll attach little shelves to the walls so they can sit there ans smile winsomely at the dutiful college types hunched over their books.
I also have two commissions for paintings of birds. A flyer for Jordan. An album cover for Paul Davis. More "Girls" paintings, this time "Holy Girls" (angels!). I keep busy. Don't worry about me.
