Interview:

this is going around LJ like a bad case of the herp,
I succumbed to it today.
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me" or something of an equally pithy nature.
2. I will respond by asking you 5 questions of a very personal nature. Be warned!
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions, or there will be trouble.
4. You will include this and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them 5 questions.
1. If you could paint an object for anyone, who would you do it for and why?
I would paint a boat, and it would be for my Great Grandfather. He's the one I named Neil after, and holds a very strong piece of my heart. I would just paint a picture of a boat, I'd paint an actual boat, and not plane and ordinary, it'd be wild, & he would love it I'm sure. In fact, this just inspired me a bit, I might come up with something once I unbury my stuff again.
2. When you were little, what did you want to be?
I wanted to be an artist from day one. I always struggled to find something else I wanted to be, because I'd always heard about "starving artists" and I didn't want to starve. For a while I wanted to be a music teacher, physical therapist, a news anchor, and, finally, an art teacher, which was really just an artist, masked as a "real job". I would enjoy teaching an art class, but I have no interest in saddling the $ and time that becoming a "certified" art teacher requires. I kind of think it's all a joke, the whole certification process for creative positions like art, jewelry making, etc.
3. Do you ever want to hit some art festivals with me?
Hell Yeah! I am ALWAYS looking for people to go to festivals with, none of my friends are really into it, I have to pull teeth to get them to come to mine!
4. Which ones, in all the world, would you most want to go to?
Oh man, it's so sad because they're practically in my back yard, I just haven't been able to make it - Renegade Craft Fair & Bust Craftacular are two that I'm jealous of! And, though it would never happen and it's a Music Festival, I have dreams of going to the original Woodstock, I swear I was there in a past life, I have such a connection to it.
5. Why haven't you gone down to Redbank and taken pictures for me, yet?
I grew up about 20 minutes from Redbank, I was there a lot as there is an Irish pub that my parents held a session at every week, plus, my sis and bro were born in Red Bank - it never occurred to me that it was special!
