The Canton Museum of Art - Art Inspires Gala

Saturday, August 19, 2023 I experienced my first solo exhibition sneak peek opening. It was the museum's annual gala for VIPs. I got to see people look at my work for the first time and it was fascinating. Some people fly through and others read every single word on the wall cards. Some people come up to talk and others stayed clear like I was a sales associate at a department store. This Friday is the official exhibition opening. I think I will be a bit more relaxed.

Hey Hey Hey

From 2003 to roughly 2012 I kept a blog called Joybucket. I loved blogging and met so many nice people from all over the world. Slowly, Instagram and Facebook started taking up my time and I stopped blogging which was a shame. I traded quality content for instant gratification and quantity. Instead of a steady healthy diet feeding my mind I stuffed my eyeballs with GMO sugary snack nuggets that stained my fingers and all that they touched. Insta & Facebook are addictive brain junk food when the real meat, the real, fulfilling, nourishing, brain food is the forgotten exercise of the blog. This is my attempt at discipline. This is my go at dusting of the cobwebs and reuniting with old neurons. I think I smell ozone. Cat photo for attention.
