In 7th grade my mother, the eccentric woman that she is, bought me a pair of cow printed Capri pants. Now, c’mon don’t look at me all crazy, it was a time when I didn’t know any better. And while most people might fright over my “cow print capri’ combo, I rocked them every chance I got…
…uh, well, at least I think I did.
But while shootin the breeze in home ec class my friend Danielle would crown me with the most imaginative of nicknames, Moo Moo Mel. And for probably no other reason then to share in the buffoonery she became, “Ding Ding Danni.” It’s one of those things that you would never give license to anyone else to say and for no other reason then to laugh at yourself…

I’ve been looking at this painting for like the last five minutes. From this day forward I am officially convinced that no artist likes their own work, at least…at least in the beginning. I mean when you think about it, could this really become some worldwide epidemic, infecting artists with a viral string of nitpicking, disillusion, and sickly moaning?..
…Perhaps I’m exaggerating.
This is completely bipolar of me, but it’s actually kinda growing on me now. Huh, look at that.

3 years, 4 redesigns, and 2 domain changes later, and wait for it….
…MelodyNieves.com is here!
A short and sweet 1st post–I’m jumping for joy to embrace a real place for my own personal reflections and artwork. I feel like busting out my sweet Vanna White skills and hand miming the different sections of the site, but you’re not here–so it’s kinda awkward, by myself, heh…
