The Shiny Squirrel: Self

Quote

I just heard Ray LaMontagne say this in an interview and it struck a cord with me because it is about remaining true to yourself and your artistic integrity.

" The Music industry becomes interested in you because you are doing your own thing and then once they get involved you have to fight to do your own thing"

So today was a very influential day in my life I have been officially released from my "day job" which was like dealing with a bad break up. You are sad and kind of shocked, but it has been bad for so long that you are frankly just relieved it is over.

Well with that being said I am free... and I mean I am NEVER going back to that life again no matter what.

I am officially open for part time jobs, freelance writing, new clients, and whatever else comes my way.

If you have a collaboration, gig, artwork, and anything else just send me an e-mail. I have all the time in the world and I love it.

New Tattoo and cats

I got work added to my tattoo on my forearm and I got little acorns on my other wrist. They are healing sooo well! I was thrilled that Dave from 8 of swords could do the work again! He was just voted one of the best tattoo artists in New York City. Pretty impressive.
