So I turn 35 today.  We've been in California for over a month now but we're still waiting on our stuff b/c of a port dispute.  Right now the only piece of furniture in the house is the new futon.  The company wouldn't let me move my paints so I'm going to have to replace all my liquid/paste art supplies.  A friend from the Netherlands has already sent me a new starter set as a birthday present.

I didn't get any painting done in Enschede, although I had just primed a canvas and was still working out my sketches for it when we had to move.  I haven't uploaded any of my sketches from the past 2 years b/c my scanner wasn't working with the new laptop.  Hopefully my partner will have the time to resolve this issue soon.  I'd like to at least get my doodles from Paris up here.

Once the stuff is in I should get the room set up so I can do some painting and a computer area set up so I can get back to learning blender.  I'm going to be looking into schools again soon and see if I can find anything I want to do in my area and price range.

I will get all my big work back soon.  We're in the middle of making arrangements for having the stuff from New Orleans cleared out of storage and sent here.  We've picked a company and had a friend go make volume estimates and count boxes for us.

We've had alot of help from alot of cool people during the last two moves.

Am in the Netherlands, Enschede specifically.  Will be stuck in hotel for a month before moving into tiny campus housing.  Getting my clothing and crafting/art supplies arranged in it will be a challenge, and of course still waiting for those to show up anyway.  Will be working smaller for a bit most likely.  Am freaking out alot and doing some serious hiding in hotel, yay anxieties.  I get to add a language barrier (all be it a mild one given the prevalence of English) to my normal Social Anxiety.  Wishing for my playstation so I could do some mindless dragon slaying, but it is still in transit as well.

I'll be selling at the Freret Market on Oct. 1st from 12 to 5. I'll be in the newb section in the back so my exact spot is not assigned. I will have my smaller paintings with me, including all the little day of the dead pieces, as well as most of my chainmaille. I'm also taking this as an opportunity to wear my first chainmaille top, which I just completed this month.

OCH Market starts again tomorrow. 10:00 to 3:00 at 1618 Oretha C Haley Blvd which is the Zeitgeist building.
