In other, much more appropriate and less personal news, I am going to be selling some, or hopefully, all, of my paintings at the Art Fair this coming Sunday. Miss Olga will be sharing my space, making me look bad with her much superior work. Last year I had a wonderful time, sold about 20 pieces, all of which I miss horribly, but it was time to let go. It was also a great time to meet other artists -- that's how I first started connecting with all the other artsy and poesy folk in Astoria. My motto was and will forever be, "Paintings for sale or swap." If you have some art I really like, we can do a trade. Also, if you're a close personal friend, or pretend to be, you might get a piece for free.
