My Story is on About.Com right up there in the front!

2010-05-17T19:03:00.000-07:00

In January I wrote into About.com: Deafness in answer to their question, When did you realize what it means to be deaf? I was just poking around the About site and I am the second on the list, very cool, eh?

Have a look if you are curious, and feel free to comment on how you first felt when you realized that you were different. What was your defining moment? There are some really revealing and interesting stories, such brave little characters we were! Click on the link below to see mine and add your own to the site and comment on my blog here.

The Amazing Liz McGrath is in Juxtapoz!

2007-11-17T23:03:00.000-08:00

The wicked, wild Liz McGrath is in Li Hertzi's Art Doll Adventures and therefor in the same book that I am! Such good company! Eh!

She is having a show at Billy Shire Fine Arts in Culver City, CA. This is an amazing place. Well worth the drive up there from San Diego and I hate to drive. Go! And while you are up there check out the great food, nothing like the In and Out's that punctuate our landscape down here in homogenize-land.

The article in Juxtapoz is pretty good - some great pix and interesting copy about her scary baptist school experience! eks!

This is her book, full of weird and wild stuff!

Introducing The Underground Poetry Brigade

2007-08-18T22:51:00.000-07:00

A Brigade is a group of individuals organized for a particular purpose: a fire brigade; a rescue brigade, or... a Poetry Brigade. And what would be the purpose of the Underground Poetry Brigade? To spread poetry, of course! and Why underground? Because the heart needs secrets, specially joyful ones.

How will this work?
I have been a one woman poetry embassador for 2 years and in that time have met many wonderful people, probably made some of those peoples days and most likely added to the some poundage to the landfill! I started simply by printing out a poem I loved and giving it out at a meeting I attended at a bookstore. After the meeting I had a bunch of printouts left over so I mentioned it at the coffee group after the meeting. "Lets give them out!" I said and suddenly we were out in front of the store minstering our poetic message to the public at large. Some people scowled and others laughed, one guy even hugged me. Hummmm, Idea! I went home and printed out some more. I have traveled quite a bit lately and given the poetry-surprises out as well as putting them on cars in parking lots, slipping them into books, putting them on tables at eateries and otherwise sneaking them out into the world.

BUT I am only one person and now more than ever the whole world needs some poetry. So I am inviting you to join me where-ever you are on this luminious earth! I will provide a pdf of three poems in English every now and then with a space for you to add your own in the 4th space. Remember to always give credit to the poet and never put your info on the sheets. Once you have added your poem, print them off at a copy shop and cut them along the lines. Then distribute them! Do not force poetry on people or litter it around where you know it will not be appreciated! Rather, send it out with attention to getting it into the perfect hands and under the perfect eyes!

TO download please visit this link and download as a pdf.

Please let me know of your adventures! Send me pix of your poetry in unusual places and I will post them on the blog. (please use common sense when uploading as I will not publish anything that is in anyway disgusting to anyone)

Be Creative and Enjoy! Isabella

I got my "Art Doll Adventures"

2007-08-14T00:00:00.000-07:00

... and that means that you can figure out what the picture on my first post is! Uppers, look on page 61. There he is McGukin: Bright and Common and the pix is his naily butt. This is my first time published anywhere and I am right next to this stellar dollmaker, Rosie Rojas and her totally wild doll... we definitely read different directions but it looks like we share a similar passion for hardware...

Go Rosie! (and of course, Go Li!)

and all of you other artists, nice job!
