Obituary

Here is my obituary. I waited to post it because I was unsure about how the blogs worked. I am not sure if I am completely happy with this, though. If I become a very successful artist I don't know if I would continue teaching. I say this because I imagine how wonderful it would be to only have to work on my artwork for a job and nothing else. I think that would be the ulimate dream. However, I do imagine myself as a teacher as well... just maybe not for a lifetime career. And of course if I become a uber famous artist then there will be a much longer, detailed obituary for me =)
