”I am always doing things I can’t do, that’s how I get to do them.”
Pablo Picasso
There are three reasons for this post. First, is the message of positive light, as you’ve read the quote by Pablo Picasso. Secondly, I’m launching my new website. I wish I could say I had a book or two I could interest you in there but I don’t. Lastly, Beatrice from Apartment 7B is back. Little Totsy gave me the idea to let her hang out over there on the homepage, so you can get better acquainted with her. As last week, she’ll show up here from time to time but she’s high maintenance and I can’t promise you how often that’ll be.
See, Beatrice is my reality star. Remember me telling you that watching reality TV was like me doing homework? Well, Beatrice is the result of my homework. I also wanted to integrate my writing with my art outside of what I do on my blog. I have several scripts I’ve written and will soon be done with my first couple of episodes. Like Picasso, I’m doing something I really can’t do. Composing a comic strip is totally new and something I always wanted to do and I’m working on it as you read.
The second purpose of this post is to introduce my website. Over at the other place is a gallery of all the artwork, some of which you’ve seen on this blog. Periodically, I may post new work here, depending on the topic. Otherwise, the website over yonder will house the latest studio works and, eventually, my writing, as in published stuff, as well. For art, last year, I was able to point folks to Thelma Harris Art Gallery. That’s out there in Oakland, California. There’s another gallery in Riverside, California that houses originals of my work but I need to follow up with them when opportunity permits. Do take a look-see around my little place to check out what’s going on. I serve virtual organic, gluten-free cookies and sorbet sundaes and play music in the galleries, so make yourself feel right at home. At some point, I’ll have a gallery button on the side bar for you to click to visit at your convenience.
Well folks, until next time…
I'm an artist who's writing,mothering, blogging and doing a few other things under the sun. I buy toilet paper 99.9% of every trip I make to the grocery store. I'm a people watcher, so I know you're here but drop me a line anyway.
–I shall go over to that site immediately, Tots. Xxx
Forgot to put my site’s link but it’s there now.
Pablo stole that line from me!!
Well, you shall get the credit right here on this blog, tonight!
I love you girl.
Back at cha!
You – Scattered all over the place having a grand ole time. Me – looking forward to all of it.
Neatly scattered.
I’ll head right on over and check you out.
Congratulations, you’re multiplying as you should. Looking forward to meet Little Totsy too.
Little Totsy’s in bed sleep. She won’t be on the blog. See you over there.
Ok!
Your art is awesome, but I already dais that so many times. You are very talented Ms. Totsy.
Thanks, Ariana.
Wow! How do you produce all this abundance of art and writing? The new site looks great. You’re a marvel.
Keep on doing what you can’t do.
PS. That’s why I’m writing my book too; so I can find out how to write a book.
A lot of the art on this blog was done and sold some time ago. I kept record of most of my work. My abundance nowadays is primarily writing. I paint very little now, only when I feel the mood.
I wish you well with your book.
Congrats, Totsy, on the new site. I love the look of your new virtual gallery–and the music, too. A virtual glass of Chardonnay and I’m set. tee-hee!
Thanks, Monica.
After a number of inquiries, I thought it best to have one in place.
Enjoy the Chardonnay.
Wow, scripts and comic strips! Wonderful! I can’t wait to read them. Your art is biiiiyoutiful.
Thank you, CB.
Totsy,
Wishing you much success on your new website, showcasing all that talent you indeed have. I am so delighted you took this next step.
And now, back to our normally scheduled Saucy and
Sassy programming…
Yeah, back to that.
Composing a comic strip is totally new and something I always wanted to do and I’m working on it as you read. !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm…You too?
Love those virtual, organic, gluten-free cookies. Can I eat them until I’m full?
Congrats on the website! Meandering over momentarily.
Have at it.
Thanks for the gallery visit.
Way cool. Liked the gallery works. Hope ya sell some of em.
Thanks. Selling some would be a good idea.
Let me pinch myself to get back to real life here. For I have been lifted into Wonderland by your new website information here! Way to go, Tots! I really am working on getting at least one of my new illustrations posted on my own website, as I promised you. But folks have been sick and acting stupid—and you know how it can get! So pleased to know the names of the galleries where some of your originals hang, to pass on to my SoCal son-in-law when he and my daughter next visit out there. You are SO awesomely talented. And I am already crazy about Beatrice!
Totsy, I’m looking forward to checking out your website! I can’t wait to see the art work you have displayed there!
Thanks, Bella. Have a good time, girl!
I’ll join everyone else in wishing you congrats on our new website and adventures.
But riddle me this: you said this post was about 3 things. Did I miss something?. I only counted two (and I think so did you).
I made a boo boo and published the wrong post.
Adding to those congratulations…wishing you every success… Your artwork is very individual and very you ! I may need to start saving my pennies !
Thank you. If anything, enjoy the music for now.
Girl, you got talent!! I’m inspired, good luck with the new website which I’ve bookmarked and will be checking back!
Thanks. Hope you enjoy once you get a chance to visit.
Visited ‘homepage’ and ‘my website’, got blank beige pages – but your art at Thelma Harris’s Art Gallery is most appreciated, cheers catchul8r molly
I don’t know why that happened. I’ve tested it on other computers, even a cell phone and the site appeared. Hmmm….You can visit toshfomby.com to see if that helps.
Congrats on your new site! Just checked it out, and it’s bad ass!!! Great job, Tots! Xoxo Pam
Thank you.
Sounds great. Looking forward to more to see. A comic strip? How cool is that.
