Honestly all the positive feedback I get here on the blog for my silliness or public degradations, has made my blog is my primary dumping spot for self amusement. (My hubby who is usually not amused by me, being the other) In real life in regards to my art and business, I play it pretty straight. Unless they know me well. Then let the mayhem fall where it may.

I know it will be great and I hope they have lots of your artwork in there too! as an aside, I always, always vote for amusing yourself. The ones who don't get it are usually ok to leave behind. (and I used my impulse control there, because my first thought was they are miserable slugs...) Congratulations!

At the end of the interview I founf out she had been to the blog so no matter how cool I may have portrayed myself she already knew who I "really" was. :) Thanks Robert. :) It really was a fun experience.

I think that would've been cool in an interview. A great quote. Bethany: (paraphrasing here) “So Mona, what would you like the readers of Rural Heritage Magazine to most know about you and your work?” Me: “That having my artwork in their homes will bring them happiness, joy and prosperity.” Contrary to expectations of people outside the arts, an artist with the ego of a cat just comes off as charming and witty. Especially if she's that genuinely witty. I think it's cool. Besides, two out of three are provably true, and a good argument could be made for prosperity following when people are happier. They're more likely to be productive than when they're dragging around miserable. See, if I had wall space, you would have sold me on a commission with that line. Aww, you should have said it!
