Damn, y’all, it’s been a hot minute since I last posted. Sorry ’bout that. I missed TWO weekly tattoo wrap-ups, and I promise to do that soon, but first I realized that I never posted the article about me that was in the Raleigh News & Observer. I’m famous…on page C4 in the Arts section, which everyone totally reads:

The Article About My Awesomeness

In other news, for Mother’s Day, I surprised my mom with a photo shoot with my friend Audrey Priel from Rose Trail Images. My instructions to Audrey: capture my mom’s awesomeness. My mom has amazing eyes and a really lovely smile and is just all-around-too-stinkin’-cute-for-words, and the photos of her that I have from the last few years have failed to capture that. Enter, Audrey. Audrey, who you may remember from posts past, just oozes fabulosity and sillinesses and I just heart her so much. It is impossible not to fall in love with her, because when she’s with you, she’s busy falling in love with you. And damn her, she won’t just make you laugh during a photo shoot, she will make you cry, and you will come out of the experience closer than ever to whomever you’re doing the shoot with. While there are eleventy million and a half shots that I’m head over heels for, I’ve narrowed it down to just a few to share with you in slideshow:

I realized that it’s rare that I see adult mother/daughter photo shoots. It’s always younger families. But these photos are awesome. Have I mentioned awesomeness in this post yet? Because if not, let me say it again: all the awesomenesses are contained in this day and the photos that captured it. I wish I had known Audrey before my dad got dementia, because I would have loved to do this with him, too. But this is one regret that I won’t have. Mom, I love you all the oodles.

Mother’s Day is fast approaching, which means you’re now scrambling to figure out a gift to give to your mom or the mother of your children. Much like you or your father, she doesn’t really want a neck tie. What she really wants  is art. Glorious, wonderful art. Or art on awesome shit, courtesy of yours truly. Need some ideas? Ask, and ye shall receive.

On FineArtAmerica.com, Pixels.com, Redbubble.com, and CafePress.com, you can find most of my art available on a boat load of swag – not that you need a boat load. You don’t even have a boat. Or maybe you do, in which case, can I go on a boat ride? Here’s a small sampling:

And if you purchase from my store between now and May 3rd, you can get 10% off your order! Just use coupon code ILOVEMOM when you check out. Here are a few paintings to choose from:

How To Trap and Keep a Mother

giant cage, Mother's Day

Me in the cage

My mom is here visiting this weekend, which is awesome since yesterday was her birthday and today is, obviously, Mother’s Day. S and I have decided we don’t want her to leave, and since we have this great big cage, we’re going to put a piece of chocolate in it to lure her in. The woman is incapable of resisting chocolate. Then we’ll lock her up tight and keep her forever and take her out to play with and snuggle with whenever we want. I think that’s a great Mother’s Day gift, don’t you?
