Arty stuff, sleepyhead, znnnore....

Last night there was another art critique at Gus Lucky's which I went to. It was great--we talked about the ghettoization of folk art and the treatment of illustration as an ignored stepchild in the art world, people played with the fairy doll and incense holder I brought, and I got to see some very talented people talk about what they thought about when they worked on a piece. Mmmmmmm...
I also got...two new doll commisions!! TWO! That's four now in a week and a half!! I know how I'm spending the weekend...and I love it!!!! *Happy dance of creative joy* I think when my home computer can support a pic, I should see what I can get for a doll on E-bay, to test the waters generally.
It's almost like now that all sorts of unhappy things have happened, now there's a wave of positive things cresting over me. It's very very odd. (Unless someone out there's working their mojo magic in my favor..Thank you, Fairy Gothmother!!!) Anyway, I am grateful and excited by it...

Ms Eff, who can't wait to go home and play with plasticine...

You may wanna skip this bit ...

I just found out that a man who was arrested for the particularly brutal attack and rape of a 4-year old in my city turns out to be an ex co-worker a couple of years ago. I remember him well, because my boss found out he had a warrent out, and had to stall him until the police could come. (They never did, and 20 minutes later he bolted from the hallway and ran away with two other people.) If the police had come then, would that little kid be okay now? Weeks after the stalling, someone from a local health organization was desperatly looking for him...and it turns out he's HIV positive, and knew it when he assaulted the child.

I didn't link the name with the person until I saw him in the paper today--another co-worker pointed him out. I just feel so chilled...just so cold...
