keepin' the old ball rollin'
-just finished three painting repairs, woo woo! cross that off the list.
-worksies at the cafesies and THEN...
painting for mom? goats? sloths? aprons?
there's still no overhead light in the studio and only one lamp. (one outlet, a fallen-in ceiling = kind-of-out-of-commission-studio) and i have to get up at 5a.m. to work the Athens Farmers Market. so we shall see what we can do.
not a terrible start though, eh?
i would tell you more but the dog is beating me up with a slobber wet toy. :) ya'll have a good day, now!

beginnings!
this morning the mouse met with i art athens founder Jillian to discuss the prospect of the mouse joining the team. we are happy to report the meeting went super-well!
if you have time, please check out their website: iartathens.org
it's an awesome organization that helps under-privileged kids/teens find a voice through art. do you know how important that is? have you read catcher in the rye? it's like being holden caulfield but poor and discriminated against! let's show the future generation that it's not full of phonies. let's save their lives, ya dig? where would the mouse be if it weren't for interested parties saying "you have a place in this world! make art! be seen! be heard!" it is important to remind teenagers of this. it's easy to get pushed down. let's help 'em back up!
we're taking a stand. we're going to teach and fight for beauty and art and things made with your two little hands! because being encouraged and having an input in this world is important.
it really does save lives. take it from one who knows :)
did we mention we're excited to be getting in on the action?
ALSO:
-business cards have been dropped off.
-drawings to commence after lunch
-come back later tonight to check our progress!
woot!

hi!
how are you?
welcome to mouse-made news! glad you could be here. this will be/is now the place to come see what new projects the mouse has going on, what's for sale, where to buy it, events, shows, and etc, etc.
a note on grammar and pronouns:
article I, pronouns:
the artist Jess Snyder will, on this blog for convenience's sake, here-to-fore be referred to as "the mouse." please do not be confused if the term "we" pops up here and there as well. the mouse hand makes all items by herself unless otherwise noted, though she has and will be known to speak in third person and use the "royal we."
article II, grammar:
we don't believe in capitalizing unless we deem the word or name worthy of a larger letter. we will not be stifled by patriarchal grammar structures. we re-claim these letter shapes. we believe in aesthetics, lower-case, and little things.
