A Room of Her Own
August 27, 2006 – 3:08 pm | by nerd's eye view
The biggest obstacle between me and my paints over the past few years hasn’t been time or even, really, money. It’s been finding a place to work. About two months ago I moved into a little basement space that’s seven blocks from my front door. And finally, things are starting to come together the way I want them to. It’s pretty painful to think about getting on a plane just when I’m learning how to use my materials again.

While I’m being all alt-kultcha, I heard a track by Dave Bazan on the radio the other day and I really like it. Go here and select Selling Advertising from the play box in the top right corner. Them’s some scathing lyrics, Mr. Bazan. Ouch.

Congrats! Can’t wait to see the results. Even the photo looks damn great.

It is about the space, isn’t it.
I keep looking round here for a place to create a ‘me’ space … still looking.

I’ll bet it was hard to tear yourself away just when you’d hit that creative vibe. Do you have a creative space in Austria? (Is this a totally stupid question–but I don’t paint, so I honestly don’t know…does the very cold weather muck up the paints?)
