Way To Go!

The Gallery One Ten is having a visual arts show on transportation. It sounds really great and it open today. The show will run until February 12, and then the show will be taken over by the Temporary Museum of Permanent Change, which is HUGE!

My submission is a 30x40" watercolor and ink illustration, showing how various important people from around the world traveled. Hopefully it shows how these people did what they did in large part because of how they travelled.
====================================================================
Woody Guthrie, for example: Woody rode ontop of and inside trains. This allowed him to travel all across America and learn songs from other people. Get to know their lifestyles. He wrote the song, "This Land Was Made For You and Me", and who better to write it than someone who really experienced the people living all across America?

I AM NOT AFRAID OF CAR WASHES!

Many of you out there in internetland seem to have it in your heads that I get scared during car washes. THIS IS A LIE. I am not now, nor have I ever been, afraid of car washes. Recently I was riding in the car with a friend that needed their car washed. I happened to have my camera with me and I asked them to take some photos of me during the car wash, to catalogue just how unafraid I was. Here, you can plainly see that I am NOT afraid of car washes:

In fact, I am so absolutely FEARLESS when it comes to car washes, that I get BORED. That's right: BORED! I mean, I practically fell asleep during the rinse!

Spread the word, my friends: Jess Smiley is NOT afraid of car washes!
