Hello fellow artists,

Just a quick update of sorts since my stays here at Deviant Art are so sporadic lately and my journal entries, even more so.

Since around Summer of last year my life has been hell in so many ways. I've been dealing with and trudging through many personal issues and have been tested, bruised, crushed, and strained in so many ways. Besides the year my dad committed suicide, this has been the most difficult time of my life. I won't go into details but will just say I've asked what the fucking point to all of this is on more than 100 occasions. I'm still waiting on an answer.

On a more positive note: I've been in counseling for a little more than 4 months now and it's probably the only thing that's kept me from giving up and floating to the bottom of this godforsaken pool of muck we call life. The EMDR especially has saved my life.

Now to get to the crap you all might care a little about! --->

A few months back I was invited into the Mammoth Book of New Erotic Photography. I purchased the first volume of this series way back when I was in college and still trying to find my artistic voice so to be invited into this volume is amazing on so many levels. What's even more amazing was that I almost got the cover. It was between me and two other photographers. Unfortunately, I lost out to one of them but that's okay. I absolutely can't wait to see it. To view the pieces that will be in it click this link: photomontage.0catch.com/images…

A while back I added a photo album to my facebook fan page called Outtakes, Rejects, and Tests. It's all the cute/funny/ridiculous images that never made the final cut. If you're interested in checking those out, become a fan at: www.facebook.com/pages/Rebecca…
This is also where I share all my latest work and the latest news about it.

Also recently, I was invited to have a solo exhibition at the Mondo Bizarro Gallery ( www.mondobizzarro.net/index_mo… )in Rome in May. I'm mega-excited about this...so much so that I'm looking at ticket prices to Italy and maintaining a little shred of stupid hope that I might just be able to go. Silly, I realize. For a small preview of some of the images that will be in the show click the link: photomontage.0catch.com/images…

This morning I sold the rights to this image ( www.flickr.com/photos/28305446… ) for a book titled: Comment je n'ai pas rencontré Britney Spears (ha!) written by a lovely girl named Elise Costa, published by Editions Rue Fromentin. Supposedly, it'll be a small print run but the fact that an image of mine will be the cover of a book about a french girl who follows Britney Spears around the U.S. makes me giggle. Here's what Elise says about her book: "About the book : it's half-novel, half-sociologic essay (in french as you probably noticed :) ). It's about how Britney Spears became such a pop icon, why people root for her, and... America ! There is some interviews too, like one of Rob Sheffield. Oh and I also wrote about hamburgers, because I love them !" If you're fluent in french here's her blog: www.elixie.org She's super-sweet and I can't wait to see a copy of the book.

And finally I'm having a Large Print Sale through March 5th! Any 16x24 or 20x20 (for square prints) on sale for $75! These would normally be more than $125...so snatch one up on the cheap while ya can! (Add $10 for shipping in the USA. International is dependent upon where.)


So that about does it for me! I may have missed a few things but I covered all the important points, I think. I appreciate all of you who are still watching me and remaining patient with me in my "off-periods." I also sincerely enjoy all the comments even though I only seem to respond to a handful of them. They all mean a lot to me and I should probably say that more often.

With all that said, here are some of my absolute DA favorites lately:

I'm still waiting on an answer.

Ultimately, the answer is somewhere between hope and the experience of enduring and not allowing oneself to succumb but to eventually persevere.
