Wow - when it rains it pours! GREAT stuff!!  Today my baby gets his first vehicle that he is purchasing on his own!  WOW - He drove my car to the end - the past year we had to have it towed a few times and Storm is also looking for a little more comfort and we safety ;-) I am SO proud of him ( both of us are) He works very hard and saves his money and today he will drive home his new wheels and drive his mom to the EXPO in comfort and style! LOL I can't wait till he brings it home. * note car for sale- great clunker  for getting around, also great starter car for new kid driver. DOES not go very fast hee hee hee.
In just 3 more days I'll be setting up for the EXPO! I'm as ready as I will ever be! My sherpa (below) in the garage making boxes for the originals, LB is painted and ready to take photos! The Happy Hippie is ready to GO!  I AM SO EXCITED and I'm feeling GREAT! 
My botox seems to be at it's prime and I have to thank the Dr.  he is mastering where the injections go and I am NOT in as much pain! :-) YEAH! Any that I am, is quickly  helped with Cannabis!!   I am SO READY! 
We did open the pool on the weekend and Daisy LOVES it! All Storm had to do was whistle and she was in - right over to him and would stay in the pool as long as he did.  Some photos below I have to go and do some last minute painting!!! <>< XOX

I will say that I will be happy when the EXPO is over so I might resume cartooning - the ideas are backlogged in my brain - Not much room in there these days ;-)

Sharing your talent

I believe this is one of life secrets - share your gift! Everyone has something they can share- everyone. It might not be what you think it is, not everyone can draw or sing but some bake, clean (trust me I believe that to be a talent), proof read, fish, frame, knit, sew, play the harmonica, organize.. there are so many talents. The key is to share. What good is anything if it is not appreciated or enjoyed or admired even. To share your TALENT is a gift to everyone else.  

I met through facebook a very nice guy named Steve, we have actually been in touch for a while but I finally just drew his cover for his newest CD.  He asked me a while ago and at first I said o.k. then I declined.  I declined because I had a few things going on and was in a slump... he waited, then I tried to turn him on to another artist friend - he declined, he said ‘he liked my vintage style.’ ;-)

I stalled some more... he persisted.  Do you know what it was? I was nervous. Perhaps a little intimidated by his talent.

I listened to his music - which I was extremely impressed with, his words and thoughts - intelligent and well put. His understanding & appreciation of this beautiful PLANT obvious. We think the same. What I draw I feel he sings. His words inspired me.  A few other things inspired me - he seems to be a hard worker, several things on the go- you can tell he is someone that believes - in himself.  Look within. Believe. He clearly is not where he is at from sitting on the sofa getting high all day!!  WAKE up ‘stoners’. Life is work.  One of the things that impressed me most about Steve were his photos of Facebook.  I look at everyones who requests friends profiles.  I saw a great dad - in a tutu If I recall correctly.. A little princess.  I saw not a ‘rock star’ but a person who I believe cares about what he is doing.  Passionate about what he is singing, saying. Rapping? LOL  You know what I mean.  It is clearly paying off Steve is on the rise. He was just featured in this months High Times magazine and is being talked about all over. Like anything =  research it for yourself check out Steve’s links.  When he finally asked again - I sat down and drew. He LOVED it.  He made my day, I am very proud to be the artist for one Steves C.D.s. I am grateful he bugged me &  believed in me.  Steve Caprio on FB his web site:    http://www.ominouswords.net/
