Happy Caturday!

As they say on Instagram.. happy Caturday!  Perfect timing as I painted this last night!
Kat & I go way back as you might know (if you read this blog faithfully- lol)  she's been framing my art for over 30 years.. we met many moons ago, became friends and still remain. Not nearly as close as we once were - but that's life.. if we only kept 'old friends close' we would never meet new people. We grew. 
I wanted to thank her, she'd done a lot of framing & does give me a deal.. ;) perks with 30 years of service, friendship, bitching, crying, laughing.. etc! lol  I usually just send her the work and say frame it. I trust her experience. Her ART. 
I broke a cardinal rule with Kat recently - it's my own fault.  In my excitement I asked her to frame something for someone - 'they would be good for it!'  Turns out they might have changed their mind as Kat's not heard anything  now that the piece has been ready a few weeks - oh well.  
Frig, lesson learned, I apologized, it's not how we work after 30 years.  It's all good! I bought the piece off Kat- for a deal - lol! I will hang it in my office as a reminder.  Looking forward to it actually.  'Don't fall for it, don't take it personal Georgia.  Lesson learned.'

Kat knows actually it was more than not picking the piece up.. I was hurt' I'm so silly sometimes I could smack myself.  People change their mind, even about my art. lol  
Deal with it, move on and focus on what is important.  If I 'quit' every time I had a setback, I would have stopped drawing years ago.  
This past few days I've had a few personal set backs.. cry or draw.  
I choose to paint.

Recently, I noticed on Johns page (of Skunk Magazine) they asked who is a 'Canadian Activist' who has made a difference.. lol - I didn't see my name. I thought- I've been drawing almost 10 years now about cannabis awareness but can't seem to be 'recognized as contributing'?   LOL    
Please. 
If I let that shit stop me I would have given up long ago.
I draw for the love of my son - first and foremost- I don't need any recognition beyond that.  I get it.  I'm mentioning this because I commented on a few people I thought qualified:
Ted, Gail (R.I.P), Owen, John, Kirk, Kelly, Adam.. then I signed off and thought - that was stupid- you fell into the trap that you don't like yourself!
There are too many to mention! I don't want anyone to feel left out- like I usually do.  
To the point, in the future I won't name anyone.
Al Graham, Dori, Patricia, that grumpy old guy- I can't remember his name..   it hit me after I 'hit comment' .. they have been trying for as long as I have been watching and also don't seem to get any recognition.  Thankfully they don't stop. 
Just one person I might of forgot - made me think 'this is bullshit'.  
For everyone out there who feels they are not being 'appreciated'  - FUCK it!
Keep going! FORWARD.  I appreciate you!  Tell them you appreciate all they have done.

I don't need a magazine article/facebook comment to validate what I do.
I draw for Love. That is enough.

On a positive note!
My hair looks great! Holy, it has a lot of silver streaks, I like it short- why do I resist! lol
& I have a new framed artwork to hang! LOL - Still ONE of my personal favourites.
;) & Im drawing a new cannabis cartoon! lol
​BRING this day on! 

Have Faith!
