Artist’s Resume Time

I’ve been spending the day finilizing my application for the Flight School Fellowship, and that means it’s time to dust off that old resume—not the one that says “poster salesman, parking lot attendant, poster salesman, parking lot attendant, poster salesman, parking lot attendant.” The other one. The one that says your an artist.
