these days i am working on a new visual vocabulary. i left my notebook of good notes at scott's, but this is what i can remember:

mushrooms
family business

that's all. i am also giving myself the next month (before my relocation) to really refine my color printing. i am so excited. and print for an upcoming show outside of chicago.

my trial has ended for my adobe suite which means that i need to look for some serial numbers so i can finish my new website, and also continue to put my work out there. unfortunately, so many of the venues require a 'looking fee' of at least 25 dollars or more (some as much at 60 bones, whoa). i am thinking about selling a little bit of the things i already have to get me a little farther.

i told myself i would write about my trip before it disappeared (i had a really good quote about erasing memories, but that was also in my notebook).

i'm not in the mood to write, but here are some things about the last two and half weeks:

driving across america
henderson swamp (bayou, bayou, after bayou)
bourbon st.

rose
texas and rolling hills
