Hi Patreon!

Last Wednesday I got my last radiation session. They sent me off with a skin care pamphlet and it felt like when Harry Potter gave Dobby a sock. I'M FREEEE!

I'm going through a milder version of the rush of happiness I had after surgery. It's the kind of happiness that comes after you've spent a bunch of time preparing for the worst. But things seem to go fine so you slowly you release the grip of your protective pessimism and allow yourself to start hoping that things are going to be ok after all. 

It feels like spring. It feels like yelling from the top of a mountain and walking down a busy street high fiving friendly strangers. I'm just so excited about life. Things have been tough these last couple of years, and I'd kind of forgotten that I don't usually  feel that way, and that it's most probably caused by these fairly remarkable circumstances. So I'm hoping that as we hit the year mark of the brain tumor turmoil, Brian is going to be out of my life once and for all and I'll get the luxury of not having to constantly think about my health.

So. Let's seize that luxury and talk about something else! I'm just about to post a new video! HERE IT IS. 14 minutes long and all, because I paint a mural with my feet, and fine art takes time to make.

I also painted a tiger with a fork while singing an Ariana Grande song and keeping my eyes closed. It would all make at least a tiny bit more sense if you watch the video.

Since no museums have reached out just yet, I was thinking maybe some of you might want some of these for your walls. There's the tiger portrait, but also some canvases that we put on the ground as I was doing the mural. Comment your loftiest art review below and we'll pick somebody and send them out soon!

Hope you're doing well! And please give me a high five if you see me in the street because that plays perfectly into my current state of mind.

OK BYEEEE

"Avant-garde painter Simone Giertz has finally released her long-anticipated work, “Stomping on Brian” – an eclectic, mesmerizing, melange of foot-art latex color in Ms. Giertz’s immutable Home-Depotesque style. This critic hopes the rumors are true, and that “Stomping on Brian” is but the first in a series of visceral new works where Ms. Giertz pays homage to her internal organs. Bravo Ms. Giertz, Bravo. "

Holy CRAP! I received a package in the mail and it contained an art that is vastly cool and should grace the walls of The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington The District of Columbia, The United States of America, 20560! I'm rediculously happy that you've aquired enough health to paint with your feet and drip some of it on the ground partially covered in canvas and then mail that very thing directly to me! I will cherish this, share it with others and tell its story until I am unable to do that anymore. In the words of the Prophet; "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you mail me potentially radioactive art dips when skies are gray!" and I intend to live by those words for several weeks, possibly a month or two. Thanks Simone, you rock!
