So for the first time since High School I am submitting something to a show. For those of you who don't know I am a little obsessed with art, but I have not been able to finish anything in three years I didn't hate, and before that once I finished something it ended up on my wall, friends walls, in myu closet.... I was very not productive with it.

Saturday, at the Lucha Libre art show their will be a peice signed by me. And it's brave. It's thick, and somewhat dark, and a little offensive. I have never had the nerve to paint something that others might find offensive. I can be polite to a fault...but It was how I felt and I put it on a canvas and thought. Who cares who doesn't like it. Who cares who gets offended.

Thats a big step for me. I am even going to participate in a live graffitti art at the show just for fun.

Today I saw a flier for the show, and in with other artist was MY name. Right in the middle. Well...not my name but "Tara the Terror" because that's what they know me as. Anyway. Just proud of myself. Wanted to share.

It's better than the scale to me.

I'm on the tapshoes bandwagon too!

I probably have way more than the 25% here not liking me, and that's probably because so many people don't like the perky types. I don't care though! I won't change... nope, not me!!

Well, I love me some perky. :biggrin2:

Me too I can usually be annoyingly perky, but why frown unless you mean it?

Since that first fill I alternate between in your face perky or raving lunatic. But I am sure that after a while I will settle on my generally perky self personality.

One year at band camp this girl who tap danced was really mean to me. She threw her tap shoe at me and I was tramatized.

Ever since then, anyone who tap dances, or dances or even watching Dancing with the Stars sends me into a cold sweat. I don't know you, but I'm sure I wouldn't like you at all because of your name.

I hope that was sarcastic enough to not be believable, but really, that's how people think.

Every once in a while I find that someone just loathes me, and I'm like, well there's one of my 25%.
