So tonight, I’m gonna be on internet TV.

This is surreal.

I’m not usual a huge public speaker, although I’m a very chatty person. I’m trying not to think about it really, and to just send good vibes in that general direction. However public speaking makes me feel like I’m 13 again, so….yeah. This is new for me.

It’s being taped live at 7pm EST in front of about 150 people. Take that, Oprah.

Hopefully I won’t get so nervous that I choke up completely and run off stage. As far as I’m concerned, anything that isn’t that is a win. Low expectations – best way to succeed.

I actually don’t even know what I’m going to say. I’m just gonna wing and speak from the heart. Whatever wants to come out wants to come out. I’m going to try not to censor too much and just give honest, genuine responses. I don’t want to be rehearsed. Rehearsed is boring. On the other hand, I just hope I don’t spend the whole time going, “Ummm….ahhh….uhhhhhhh…..so yeah!”

On the bright side, I’m doing the interview with Chris, so if I compeletely blank out, someone can rescue me.

It’s also only a minute and thirty seconds. That’s hardly enough time to make a complete idiot out of myself.

So anyways, here’s the link:

I hope you all tune in tonight! Knowing there are friendly faces watching will make all of this much, much easier!

Welcome to one artist's odyssey

On May 21st, I'm going on a quest. A quest for art, for meaning, for beauty, for truth. I'm picking up my life, packing up a suitcase and heading to rural France to live, paint and study art for the next 18 months.
