My First Art Fair is on March 30th: Now I Just Need to Prepare

That’s two weeks from today. I’ve never displayed my art before. I’d like to make prints. I’d like to screen print tote bags if i can. I have a screen printing kit in my closet that I’ve opened but haven’t used. I’ve had one of those crazy weeks where for a second it seemed like it was all falling apart. It wasn’t at all. I keep turning.

How fitting that I’m going through a medium change. Trying to teach myself to paint. I listen to Spanish songs and Spanish YouTube video essays. I write advertisements for IT tools I don’t understand. I piece together communicate translate share express.

I’m remembering that art is for the stuff that you can’t put down anywhere else. I celebrate what I don’t understand.

I haven’t told anyone I’m in the art fair. I haven’t officially accepted the spot. I think I won’t tell anyone for a little bit. I want to enjoy my little secret. We feel in the pauses.

I’m feeling the pay off of my effort. Of taking care of myself and pushing myself to try new things. Going to bed on time and lighting candles and massaging my face in the shower. I did that skating exhibition in February so that I can present in this art fair in March.

I’m going to print my zines. I’m going to print my zines. Get excited for that you guys! RooneyRambles the zine coming soon!
