we’ve made it.
through february.
[an excerpt from elisabeth belliveau‘s wonderful book, ‘the great hopeful someday’]
miss belliveau has been at the forefront of the great inspirators of the ilhu industries ever since i picked up this book some years ago. some people turn to the bible or to that girl who write the harry potters [what’s her name? doesn’t matter] for spiritual guidance and everything that is down and needing a great uplifting – well, i’ve been using TGHS as this type of guide ever since i laid my filthy paws all over it. [no seriously the once immaculate white cover shows the marked wear of a graphite abuser].
and recently a dear _r gave me her then newest book ‘don’t get lonely don’t get lost’ for x-mass and i just about wet myself.
i am constantly haunted by her writing – the story of being mugged in london has stayed with me ever since the night i cracked it open.
SO IT HAS BEGUN. THAT LONG LETTING GO.
you get the idea. i essentially covet e’s work and often find myself melding life scenes together in her line drawing style.
ALL THIS TO SAY
i am so so pleased to see that she will be showing her work at MONASTIRAKI [get there!]
oh! can you just ~feel~ my excitement oozing out of your screen??
and if anyone has $500 kicking around, my love is once again officially for sale.
