Funny how life imitates art…. or is it that art imitates life… in any event there were many things that I wanted to be as a young child, the most impressionable icon I can recall is the TV series, The Avengers. Diana Riggs as Emma Peel, in my eyes, she was the coolest and most impressionistic person on television. She dressed in boots and leather, (mostly black attire as well which was the ultimate bonus) carried a firearm and had that ever so fashionable “flip” hairstyle that could stop a bullet.
What a great profession.
Where else can you wear black leather fitted outfits, carry a firearm and have awesomely cool hair. I was convinced at an early age that this was indeed the job for me.
I had an array of several different professions in my scope of jobs… I was a cake decorator in the late 70’s, because a florist (floral designer) in the early 80’s… ended up selling automobiles in the late 80’s then ventured down the road into high tech for almost 20 years being a test engineer for software to a web techie-junkie with some of the most prominent and cutting edge companies in existence today.
Regardless of all of the “other experiences” I have had… I am a full time artist, a painter, creator an Avenger to the all mightly brush, a dedicated companion to my arsenal of paints and creativity and a rebel with a cause.
Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) you and I are in sync, there will be a day that we will walk down the same avenue together, same sidewalk, same vision.
I love the challenge, I love the vision, I desire the pressure and feed on the deadline… Thank you.
