First stages was tonight!!! I hope you guys enjoy the set up. Had the same clothes line as last time. I was going to free draw, but I didn’t have time due to how many people which is AMAZING! Basically making up a completely random residency/job for myself, and tonight was Day 1 It was amazing. Felt like an ass multiple times. Even as I reflect now, I cringe at some of the things that came out of my mouth, made sure I made up for it with the next people I engaged with. I got to talk to so many people about parasites and other animals. It made my heart feel really good to see that much excitement!!!! Also got to promote a new event in Billings which is Billings Goth day on May 22nd. Going back to This House of Books, in a couple of days to restock Angler fish, fill pre orders, and start putting up parasite decor over the next few weeks for my free live and dead parasite viewing on the 25th. I want to enjoy my big model making so I saved it. I have been doing this for a while now, but this is the first time where I am drawing for a specific lifestyle, which is Parasitism. Got 4 more months with an infestation, parasitic fungus, plants and other parasites like the vampire ground finch, lice, and other things art. So I have to say it was a wicked good start and so much more is on the way. I need to order a dead lamprey and find mosquitos, mosquito larva, and ticks. Ordering leeches! Might personally keep and house them as pets. We shall see!! Cute little terrarium set up. I am completely going with the wind with this project, so if anyone has ideas or places to go in the west (I’m in Billings Montana.) I am all ears and wanting to participate and get people excited about the Earth with parasites.
Palms were sweaty in the car.
I had my originals out for the event. But they have been replaced with prints. Just it case cause it’s in the kids section.
So I was showing portraits, and was going to live draw. It turned in to people wanting other animals and me searching like I was during the farmers market. I suppose the parasites are also an attempt to control this hahaha. Ask me if I have an animal and I’ll search through a pile and folds while other people tell me their animals. I shit you not. If you come to me like in the middle of these events, everyone’s is out. That’s why this Chaos needs a purpose. This gives it purpose and it gives me purpose. I don’t feel like I am taking all the time. I get to give more with my art. Also to keep my guilt at bay, I will be doing animals profiles for every one. Also. I need to create a sign that defines parasitism. I need a big thing a bout hook worm. I feel real passionate about hook worm since finding out it helps people with IBS and Crohns diseas due to co-evolution. They are Trill people. Loved the crap out of Deep space nine. Im sorry, but it’s just cool. Ok.
Moving on. Hand written labels are preferred. Winning cause that makes it easy for me!!! Will be doing a more uniform hand written font like an old fashion print press.
My next event!!!
Really excited cause there was ALOT of excited teenagers. Well calling it a night and thank you for reading of you read this long and thank you thank you thank you for looking at all the animals. Prints: https://lindseyraemunson.etsy.com
