I would love to go but that is one place Marty would never go with me (among others - quite like Musty actually). My youngest sister is half Iranian and I think I am more intrigued and curious about her nationality than she is. I remember her Iranian grandmother used to talk to us mostly in Farsi with a little broken English. I loved it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-83376465490041925032007-09-17T17:30:00.000-07:002007-09-17T17:30:00.000-07:00Loved learning more about you.

As a writer, I feel like the writing I like to do is not embraced or valued by many people in our world today, so I connected with your statements about art in society.<BR/><BR/>I am so impressed with your yoga practice too. I have not done yoga but I am looking into taking a class... I wish I could take yours!laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124236356802448254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-32626491634117932812007-09-17T12:38:00.000-07:002007-09-17T12:38:00.000-07:00That was a great post, Amey.

Her Great Auntie misspelled her name JessiKa ("with a "K") when she was in second grade with 3 other Jessica's...and she's spelled it that way ever since. People LOVE the spelling! <BR/><BR/>She is actually planning on trying to legally change the spelling when she's older. (I think you have to be 21).<BR/><BR/>Love your blog. :)Tofu Mom (AKA Tofu-n-Sprouts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16536769929670412138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-82595988783677905962007-09-15T11:24:00.000-07:002007-09-15T11:24:00.000-07:00Hi Bazu,I used real photos as the sources for the ...Hi Bazu,<BR/>I used real photos as the sources for the paintings... and that was actually the hardest part of the whole project. It's very difficult to find all those old pictures, and some leaders (like Nelson Mandela or Yassar Arafat) didn't even have pictures of them taken when they were children. <BR/><BR/>The painting of Saddam is very touching, because already at such a young age you can see a tremendous amount of emotional scarring and "toughness." Very sad, for him, and it turns out, for millions of others as well.Ameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291071425858947632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-65779996590686863242007-09-15T10:47:00.000-07:002007-09-15T10:47:00.000-07:00I was just looking at your paintings and they real...I was just looking at your paintings and they really are so touching. The one that really got to me was Saddam Hussein- whenever I think of him, there is such a mixture of hate and sadness, and this portrait really brought it all together. A kid who grew up to have such a life of violence, to the very end...<BR/>My question for you is, did you base your paintings on actual pictures of the people, or imagine them as kids?bazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020880461667324114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-42448949379455319942007-09-15T08:13:00.000-07:002007-09-15T08:13:00.000-07:00Very fun to read more about you!

I come by the spelling of my name a little less than honestly too, but I feel much more connected to it than to the alternate spelling and haven't used that in any way for about 15 years!<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to hearing more about your travels this year.

Sometimes we forget that they were all innocent little kids at one point too. That is what art is to me, something thought provoking. :-)<BR/><BR/>And that yoga picture is amazing. I love doing yoga but it always reminds me how unflexible and ungraceful I am, maybe I just need to keep practicing. The most relaxing part to me is the breathing, that's when I truly feel connected with my body.<BR/><BR/>What a fun meme, great to learn more about you Amey!Vegan_Noodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946796454115691643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-11866997125323118172007-09-14T06:36:00.000-07:002007-09-14T06:36:00.000-07:00I think that is really clear to put in an extra le...I think that is really clear to put in an extra letter in your name, and it looks great too!<BR/><BR/>I have started doing yoga, but i am no where near the stretching capabilities like you are.

"marvelous & weird & generally uncomfortable" your quote is so right on, this is exactly what draws me to travel, and what I hope to get out of it. We should go to Iran together! I'm serious. Most of my family has gone back a number of times, but I've never had the desire... until your enthusiasm rubbed off on me! Oh, and we should definitely talk about art. My dissertation is all about the place of art in culture, and the possibilities that represents, ... ok, I'm rambling on now!
