Eureka!  I found myself!  I was deep inside all the time. 

 Have you ever tried to pinpoint the exact place where the Me lives?  The head? The heart? The gut? Elusive isn't it?

 I like being a Me.  I used to want to be a You.  That's pretty much gone.  Thank you Jerry Lewis because it was painful.  (I really don't know where "Jerry Lewis" came from because, frankly, I can't stand slapstick).  Anyway...

It could probably be said that artslant is dedicated to the This Is Me project.  Like Express Yourself!  Remember that?  Some teacher in art school once said to me: "You know, you could really be good if you would let yourself go."  It was code for Express Yourself.  Do that enough and then you get to claim: This Is Me!

Well since This Is Artslant, we thought This Is Me had to be somewhere.  And we found the perfect spot deep inside.

Where is This is Me?  This is Me appears on an artist's page which has not been claimed.  It is in the actions box on the left.  Please don't touch it unless it is actually you.  And the excuse that you don't know who you are-  that's not gonna fly.

A little background:  First and foremost, artslant is about data collecting.  Fun.  Every time an artist gets entered into our calendar, the name goes into the Artists A-Z list  under Community.  There are hundreds of you and more get added every week. Eventually, between working and showing and selling, these artist pages will be claimed by their rightful owners, who will finish them with contact info and slideshows and bios and galleries and podcasts and blogs and all kinds of artie and fantastical me-ness.

Cautionary tale: Before you open a Spotlight Studio of your very own, check the Artist A-Z listing and see if you are already in artslant.  Then close your eyes and press This Is Me.  Ahhhh, the satisfaction of being able to click on that.

Next Project: Finding the you in me and the me in you.
