It's not too late to register for "The Life of an Artist" - a one day workshop to help you start, market, and suceed with your own art business. It's this Saturday from 10am - 3 pm at the Venango Campus. To register, contact Hope Lineman at (814) 676-6591 ext. 1273 or email her.



Clarion First Night is looking for artists. Call (814) 226-9161 or email. But hurry, the deadline is May 21st.

About a decade ago, I corresponded with a guy who called himself Dishwsher Pete - a man whose goal in life was to wash dishes in all 50 states. He collected those stopries into one of the best zines ever - Dishwasher. Now Pete's 40, lives in Europe, but is back in Pittsburgh to sign copies of Dishwasher: One Man's Quest to Wash Dishes in All Fifty States on May 23rd.

Yes, there was a little brouhaha, but in my opinion it largely stemmed from action before discussion and my eagerness unburden myself for a while when offered the chance to do so.

I'm surprised no one I know has yet noticed that I am in the City Paper yet again this week.

Incidentally, I just got an associateship and full tuition to a top-five journalism school. I had initially been denied admission, but two phone calls later, I no longer have to worry about paying for school.

Oh, and I'm pitching comic stories to both Marvel and DC. These were among the real-life concerns the article alluded to.
