oddity...

A kids show that I did no work on just ended. So I'm at the theater for a pre-production meeting in the same room, they haven't torn down the set yet. Trees that I'd painted months ago were used as the main backdrop (which I'd already known). Then I notice that there's a rock wall that I painted for last years Christmas show. And I remark, "What, is this whole set made of things I painted for other shows?" and someone responds, "Basically, yeah, but it's okay, we listed you in the program." I find it very strange that I'm listed as having worked on a show that I did nothing for. I mean, yes, I did the painting, but months ago! Still, it's nice to be acknowledged. They claim they've gotten compliments on my stuff, which is very nice indeed. :)

And now I've started painting the new set. I have paint on my fingernails, it never comes off. It's times like this when I almost think I'm an artiste!
