Ventura artist Scott L. Jacobs can attest to the notion that life can turn on a dime.
Things are looking up for the 22-year-old street painter, who lost his home but now appears headed for the big time.
It didn’t look that way on the day Barack Obama was elected the next president of the United States. About 9 that morning, the people he was staying with asked him to move out.
“You’re an artist,” Jacobs said he was told. “We’re not sure if you’re going to be able to pay the rent.”

Your Canvas Junkie Host

I am your host at Canvas Junkie and work in several media. I design and make one of a kind sculpture you can wear or jewelry.

As well as paint, make found object sculpture and generally will chase after anything sparkly. When I was a teen my dad would introduce me as his daughter with the disclaimer of "You know artists are weird".

Now that I have seen many years of life pass by (I'm in denial about exactly how many)............. I'm happy to be known as an artist because....... life is just weird.
