I don’t have the heart for this
by thisisstar
My dear friend John Worsley drew this portrait of me, entitled “I don’t have the heart for this”, out of the blue yesterday.
I haven’t done a self portrait in a long time, or updated this blog with any regularity, or done about a million things that I ought to be doing.
Here’s what I’ve been doing instead:
+ Designing/developing a website for a favorite photographer of mine.
+ Spending time in the studio for my album, which will hopefully see a fall or winter release, god willing.
+ Mixing the album I made in april for the RPM challenge (yes kids, a full length bedroom recording to tide you over until the aforementioned studio album is ready later this year).
+ Anxiously awaiting the release of a dear friend’s album (you’ll know soon enough who it is!) , which I did cover art for, a collaboration with the aforementioned Mr. Worsley.
+ Working on a remix of a song on said friend’s upcoming album.
+ Lettering a comic for a major release. (for someone really awesome!!)
+ Moving into my boyfriend’s house, officially. Also, painting, installing lighting, all the stuff that needs to get done before I move stuff in.
+ Keeping Fuck Yeah Cello updated.
+ Practicing with my band once a week, and livestreaming the practice, & playing out once a week at The Hotel Utah.
+ & Oh yeah, having a full time job.
Needless to say, I’ll be posting some really rad stuff on here when I get a second to breathe, but it’s unlikely that will be for a couple weeks.
But soon, you will all see the fruits of my labor.

Wow, I love love love John’s portrait of you! It’s interesting to see something so stark without any hints of red…you need a massive print of that to side into a super baroque frame!

I would say get to work, but you’re ALWAYS busy. On a completely unrelated note, here’s a cool song I heard today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7az3_-lvmNk
That portrait is awesome… and the comic lettering sounds exciting! I hope you post about it when the project is done — I’d love to know what comic! And if you ever sell your mini comics online, let us know.
@nubs– I should get a print of it for the house once it’s together.
@Chris/Pockit– You are right. Let’s hang out soon! <3
@San– I will speak as soon as legal gives the okay!! And I may have minicomics on here someday. I am just really terrible at mailing stuff. perhaps when I get a new assistant.
