I Got Liebstered

I got an award!  I got an award!  It's a Liebster Award, which means there is no accompanying trophy or achievement or anything, but who cares?!  I got one!  Let the cavorting commence! 

Okay, so the fabulously talented and amazing artist Denthe gave me this honor (go look at her blog RIGHT NOW PLEASE, and then come back, please and thank you).

These are the rules for the Liebster Award, which Denthe broke, because she is awesome.

1. Link back to the blogger who nominated you. (DID IT!)
2. Answer the 11 questions given to you by the blogger who nominated you.  (GONNA DO IT SORT OF!)
3. Nominate 11 other bloggers with less than 200 followers.  (OR MAYBE 6, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY FOLLOWERS THEY HAVE)
4. Go to the blogs you nominated and notify them of your nomination.  (SOON!)
5. Give your nominees 11 questions to answer. (SO BOSSY!)

 Denthe (bless her heart) gave me five questions, instead of 11, and there they are:
  
1. Which kind of art do you like and why?

First and foremost, I like the kind of art I can have.  No, for real.  Museum art is every kind of amazing, and El Greco makes me weak in the knees, but after years of trading mail art, I am WARPED.  I want it. I want to hang it in my house.  I want it to be mine.  

Also, I like art with people in it, or animals wearing clothes. (Damn you, The Slumbering Herd).
  
2.  Is there something you really want to do in your life that you haven’t done yet?

I mean, yes.  Of course.  But honestly, I quit my high-paying corporate gig to live the life I wanted to live, so in that sense, I did the most important thing I needed to do to be happy.  Everything else I get to do just feels like a bonus. 

Meanwhile, I am terrified by the idea of real spelunking,but maybe someday, I will get up my nerve.
  
3.  How would your best friend describe you in one word?

She gets one word?  That's it?  There should be more words!

On that note, let's go with "bossypants."
  
4.  Do you do any kind of sports? (just want to see where I stand compared to other people ☺) 

Errummmm.  Let's see.  Does cribbage count?  Magic the Gathering?  It's totally competitive!  There are even tournaments!

Okay, seriously - I walk competitively, which is to say that I judge others who walk with me but can't keep up.

Okay, okay, okay.  I don't do sports.  NO SPORTS.  Sigh.
  
5.  Do you sell your art, or would you like to?

I do!  And I'm always up for selling more!  ;)


I am passing on the award to:

2.  Describe your perfect weather.

3.  What sort of teenager were you?

4.  What sort of oldster do you plan to be?

5.  If you had to pick the five pieces you were most proud of in your entire career, how long would you need?  Would you know instantly?  Could you put them together in a night?  Would you need a week?  Or would you run from the whole question?

6.  If you could have work hanging in one place in the world, what would it be?
