Holy Shit! I'm so excited

[T.H. Oughts]

I had a lady from the USA who is in New Zealand at the moment, who is big in the art world I deal with contacted me this morning and come visit me here in my Studio in New Zealand.......

She wants to plan a USA tour for me with my books and I tutor some seminars and workshops about my art work !!!!!

The tour will last two weeks starting on in LA and working across to NY... YES !!!!!! It will take this year to set up and I will be there next year!

I was meant to something similar last year but it was cancelled becasue of the 11th of Sept tragedy....

WOW, they pay for my airfares, accomodation, food etc and an hourly rate for every hour I'm on USA soil.... YAHOOO !!!!!!!

*can you tell I'm kind of excited*

LOL, NO She was about 65 years old and I'm not quite sure if she had more hair on her top lip or her legs. She was a lovely lady though

That would be great SC But my ass belongs to them while I'm there so I don't get much spare time. They will have me tutoring etc during the day and then in the evening they have dinners they put on for me etc. Whole lot of PR stuff etc. But I will try to catch up with as many as possible

Thanks everyone for the wishes.

Well, the UK is in the other direction in the travel path... but my So is trying out for the World Cup in his sport which will be in the UK next year, so I might be able to make dinner with you if we go to that

Thanks Nigel It will art based stores for the book signings and then workshops/seminars for art based groups....

It's about 7 hours now since I saw the woman and I'm slowly coming back to earth.. cooking dinner and putting kids to bed can do that to ya

 

[Nigel]

T.H. -

Let me know when you'll be in LA, and I'll come out to get an autographed book - and hopefully it will give me inspiration and bravery to try out the lovely set of oils that I received for Christmas in 2000...and have been afraid to touch since then.....

See...I'd love to paint......I just don't know how......

See...I'd love to paint......I just don't know how......

I work with very little paint, but I could help you with colour selection

 

[dqrich]

I for one would love to show support for the members of Lit, art, and the open-minded world in general!
Congrats and throw me on an e-mail mailing list if your starting one....(you can never take one too far...artistically speaking )
