Standing in for Lisa Gapero, ahead of @MauiTime's #mauidebate live on @akakuTV 10/22/10
via flickr.comThat's right. Putting my cyan shoes to relevant use...
Sitting-in so's @akakuTV peeps could frame up shots. Seeing myself on the monitor (and in this photo) made me realize I have to get on the bandwagon that I've never quite been on to begin with. I told my mom that and she just nodded, saying something about how it must have been even worse "because the camera adds ten pounds. Well, unless you're Jacob."
Thanks, mom.

Hilariously Unattractive
At one point during my last hospital stint, I didn't eat for a couple weeks and ended up looking like a Gray. Sooooo funny, I couldn't help but make a ridiculous sad face and preserve my ugliness for all time.
The anitpode of starvation is binge eating, which I do with more regularity. This is me at my very fattest.
My chemo pills often came in these blue blister packs, that looked too much like googley eyes to not play with.
It was WEEKS before I had my first cup of Jell-o. Not sure how that happened?!

You're Number One!
There were a handful of pieces I lalalalalaloved, but if I had to pick just one, it'd be this beautiful multi-medium, multi-paneled piece depicting an Asian Maui demigod lassoing the sun. Clever usage of Japanese theme scrapbooking paper and fabric, along with Hawaiian prints, that added great texture and detailed interest to the piece. But, the trick and poweful usage of metallics did not overshadow the artist's pure painting talent--great ohia trees and superb detailing in the folds of Maui'a robe (amazingly maintained pattern).

The Essence of Maui - Invitational Exhibition
How lame am I? I missed Art Maui at the Schaefer International Gallery! I don't think I've ever missed a year while living on-isle. Alas... Well, I will try to subdue my remorse with looking back at photos of "The Essence of Maui," (which ran January 12 - February 20, 2010) and attend the opening of "The Artist Within Us," tomorrow (runs April 10 - April 24, 2010). Speaking of which, most folks attending the new show will go in support of their childrens' work, while I'm going in support of my parent's (I'm a teacher's kid)... Ha!
"A select group of Maui artists have been asked to create one unique work based on their personal interpretation of what the essence of Maui is to them. This exhibit offers innovative ideas that will broaden the perception of Maui as a "tropical paradise" and encourage us to examine new ways of thinking about our island."
Supported in part by the County of Maui - Office of Economic Development and the Hawaii Tourism Authority. Artists Featured:
Connie Adams, Gwen Arkin, Andrew Binkley, Judy Bisgard, Travis Browne, Walter Bruder, Melissa Chimera, Jonathan Clark, Sandra Clark, Claudia Coonen, Masako Cordray, Katie Cox, Eddie Flotte, Lynne Gilroy, Lali Groth, Jeanette Hablewitz, Jaisy Hanlon, James Hanlon, Jim Hestand, Rich Hevner, Ditmar Hoerl, Michi Itami, Lori Koprowski, Al Lagunero, Howard Lapp, Charlie Lyon, Wilma Nakamura, Casey Neumann, Wanda Russell, Nancy Skrimstad, Steven Smeltzer, Ron Smith, Roger B.
