A Jernigan-Commissioned Piece of Art

Artwork by local artist Jessica Sweeten, the older sister of my nugget Vanessa. Jessica’s mom adopted Vanessa from me in March of 2014. The piece is inspired by Basquiat’s In Italian (1983). Jean-Michel Basquiat is my favorite modern artist.

Feet, as Art. Feet...is art?

$10 at the St. Vincent de Paul thrift store on 34th. Not really a fan of feet though, either mine or anyone else’s. Maybe my next boyfriend will be a foot fetishist and I will gift it to him…

Paint By Numbers

I have been buying $4.99 Paint by Numbers at Michael’s and getting my talented friend Caleigh to paint them. She has done a wolf and horses, and I just gave her an elephant. My vision is to have a whole wall of great art.

Dunedin Arts Festival

Lots of nice, expensive artwork, and lots of rich old white people. This was my conversation with the artist who did the French bulldog pic:
Me: Can you do one of these on one of my dogs?
Him: Sure
Me: How much?
Him: $3400
Me: Thank you

Thrift Store Funday

In addition to their books being 50% off (so 50 cents for hardbacks and a quarter for paperbacks), I also bought this sad clown painting for $2. The old white lady that rang me up said he looked like me, that we had the same eyebrows 😦

The Gay Road Less Traveled

A friend of mine who used to be one of the hard working under appreciated social workers for the State here in Pensacola has written a book now available on Kindle, John Jernigan’s “The Gay Road Less Traveled.” I purchased it tonight to start it, couldn’t out it down, it was so funny. Graphic, real, and hysterical, John’s writing is endearing, funny, smart and if you happen to be drinking coffee, it may shoot out of your nose at some point during one of his vignettes. You can read it on Kindle.
