Feeling intimidated-thrilled-excited...

Here are two artist I will be hanging out with for the next few years... Ben was just featured in New American Paintings...and um I'm five.

I have been chatting with them on facebook and they seem like really awesome folks. Check out their work and weep with me.

Wow. wow, wow, wow. I'm just going to say this, but I would be totally shitting my pants if I were you right now.

And yet, I totally wish I were you right now. Jamie, you are going to be amazing. You are going to learn so much and be pushed and criticized and encouraged. You are going to be amazing. You ARE amazing.

By the way: looking at Lani's work, I love all that is Lani.

Thank you Libby, I was shitting my pants today about this very thing. I bought myself a new coffee pot and feel better. But yes... both Lani and Ben and fantastic artists and I am excited to be working with them...and scared out of my fucking head.

At least you have a fucking mind..a mind that fucks with ideas...that is worth fucking...that is worth say "fuck you!"....

Did I shock anyone with my usage of the F word four times in a row? Just myself? Alright.

Jamie. Just hug Rilke tight and realize that these very same Ben and Lani are probably wetting their pants looking at your work. It goes both ways my dear and your work and the way that you present yourself is impressive. We will have plenty of pep-rallies before you ship off :)
