(May 2000)

Hello.

My name is Samantha Louanne Lovelace. Sam. It's my real name. I've learned to like it - and to tolerate the jokes. Actually, that's basically my opinion of my whole self.

I was born in South Mississippi in 1968, and I lived thereabouts (some in Louisiana and Australia.) for 29 years. I achieved somewhat of a cult following there as a result of having been lost in the outback as a toddler and raised by wombats. I moved to North Carolina almost 3 years ago, without knowing anyone, or hardly anything about the place. It has been a learning experience. I'm still learning.

The first "DayOff" was written as a letter to a friend who moved to Austin about the same time that I came here. (Cave Paintin' Joey ) I drew it in 1998. I'd made a photocopy of it and stuck it in one of my million notebooks, and then I ran across it again last month (April 2000). It made me smile, and strangely*, wonder if I could still draw that way, so I decided to do another, this time for my friend Pony.

For some reason, once I'd started again, I couldn't stop, and so.... Serial "DayOff". Though I'd just done it for fun and moosh to friends, I brought copies to our favorite coffee shop & gallery (222), just to leave on the main group (Slackass White Trash Daylabor Coffee Klatsch**) table, so my local friends could have a giggle. That's where Claude (geek!) found them and said "Hey - why don't you put these on the Internet?" So. Should you need any more biography - read "DayOff"
