Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

It still needs a topcoat and a frame, but I think this big painting is done. I don't even know where I can put it because I don't have any free walls, at least not ones that are that big. Maybe I will save it for the right pretty girl — as if you can seduce people with mysterious beasts, haha. That said, portraits never seem to work, so who knows, maybe kaiju are the silver bullet. Anyway, I misplaced my new camera so I can't post a decent picture with any depth until I find it.

I think I gave everyone in the house brain damage by mixing up the wrong paint combination (I've been experimenting with including automotive paint in the mix, and that stuff is toxic — I moved everything I could into the garage but it still stinks a bit). Phil asked me if I was mixing mustard gas when he came downstairs… Note to CSIS: it's just paint, not a WMD.

I'm feeling pretty messed up from five days on five hours of sleep, so I don't know if I'm going to make it tonight, but speaking of art, Blair's latest show of paintings is opening today at Grapefruit Moon (968 Bathurst, just north of Bloor). The opening is from 8PM until 11:30PM if you'd like to go for some drinks, and the show will be up all month. But go tonight if you can, because tonight is the fun night!

I wish I could find my camera because I'd post a shot of it, but I think my body may be rejecting the red ink in my latest tattoo! It's the first time I've had any reaction to anything so I'm not 100% sure yet… it could also just be that the healing is being affected by my health.
