A Funny Story
Woman named Heather* comes in. I have seen her before being helped by John. She originally comes from Iowa going back to Iowa City via Boulder,Colorado.
Kinda pale and old with grey hair and glasses. Tall and round Iowa farm girl makes good in big Texas town. Real happy with my plan for both direct and scenic drive to Iowa and back.
Any way she mentions that she is a artist, a drawer she says. She says, "I draw still lifes and then I take what I draw and add it to the next drawing." This starts to sound actually interesting and I ask where could I see her work. She hems and haws self-depricating sorta.
She says she only studied at the Glassell School which is part of the MFA here in houston. Mentions Suzy and others I have known. I say if you give me your address, I will send you an invitation to the barbeque. She quickly writes her name and address on the back of my office business card.
Then I describe my gel pen drawings,show her a gel roller and the use of cardboard from work etc. I then say go to www.dangerbunny.com and you can see more. I did show her this unfinished piece I had with me. I continue to work on her triptik.
Then it gets weird... She says oh maybe I should not have given you my address. What will my husband say about this? I say is he here? NO. Well don't worry I won't tell him. Ha
But now I am feeling paranoid. I give her back the card from my shirt pocket. She stuffs it into her purse. I start getting flusterred about her triptik. I say... She says I"m so sorry, I am having issues about giving out information. My husband says that I'm not in the present enough and need to be careful. I say thats fine alot of my friends are alcoholics and schizoprenics and they have "issues" all the time.
She's feeling guilty now!
I say, "You better give me back that card in your purse, and I will tear it up" She does and I tear it into about six pieces and throw it in the trash.
She says, "I didn't worry until you said to look on DANGERBUNNY..."
