7. i did. when i started trying to make a career of art

and had my first show, i got one of my old paintings on 100 tshirts. then there was a bit of a stir over another one of my paintings, so i did that one, too.

got stuck w most of them, tbh, but it sure is fun to bump into a friend wearing one.
one woman made a belly dancing vid wearing my shirt, and a couple of friends of mine found each other in a crowd because one was wearing my shirt.

i took out an ad for my second show on some buses. it was a looong painting, and the graphic took up the whole side of the bus. i did a couple of those, then those short ones on the back. 4 iirc.
well, the short ones came down quickly, but those long ones are a pain in the ass to scrape off, so they ran around for months!
it was so fun to bump into them.
i remember crying all the way home from my second opening, which was a bust, and seeing my bus. it really helped.

had a lot of people come up to me to say they had seen my bus. fun fun.
