HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Chasing The George turns 1 today! (Actual birthday July 10th!)

That’s right! It’s unbelievable how quickly time flies by. Chasing The George is growing up right before our eyes. I feel like a proud parent!

What started off as a recommendation by my teacher Richard Lawson to chronicle my weekly journey as an artist and to share my advice and wisdom with others, has beautifully blossomed into a destination of inspiration for people around the world.

I want to thank all my family, friends, classmates, colleagues, peers, strangers and human beings for being on this wonderful, funny, touching, irreverent and inspiring journey with me for the last year.

I want to thank God.

I want to thank Jesus (my cousin Jesus Ortiz, that is)

I want to thank the Academy.

I want to thank all off the gramur Nazi’s who pointted out all of my spelling errors and inccorrect usage of the english language. Let’s go to lunch and conversate.

I want to thank all the people who publicly and privately wrote in and criticized my blog in which I declared I have artistic tourettes. Here’s the link again because the irony and intention went over your heads: http://wp.me/p8uI5M-2V

I want to thank Madonna. You are my ultimate artistic inspiration and hero, now and forever.

I want to thank RuPaul and his fabulous show, RuPaul’s Drag Race, for helping me re-connect with my inner queen.

I want to thank Trader Joe’s and their sinfully delicious chocolate bundt cakes.

I want to thank Harvey Weinstein, Guy Oseary and Megan Ellison for our brilliant film collaborations.

I want to thank my agents at WME (William Morris Endeavor)

And last, but certainly not least, I want to thank my fans! You make this all possible! I love you all!
