An Artist's Life

Most people have no idea what an artist's life is about.
Our schedules can be so crazy that at times we don't know if we are coming or going.
In the same day, we deliver works for a show in one location, pick works up from another in another location. Some times they are in opposite direction. For solo or invitational shows, we deliver and pick up twenty works or more.

At times, we have more than one opening in the same week, sometimes in the same day.
In many cases, we have to apply for shows a year in advance and only God knows what will happen in that year in our lives.

As we don't know if we are going to be accepted in a show we have applied for, we may apply for another with an opening in the same date. If we are accepted in both, we are "happily" double booked.
Works that are waiting to be accepted in a show can not be entered in an other, so we need to keep track of inventory. 

In the meanwhile, we are still mothers, father, wives, husbands, teachers and anything else that will allow us to create the things we love.  All those functions have their own schedules too.
No wonder artists are often stereotyped as weird. Under those circumstances who wouldn't be?
