Cancer made me care less about dieing. It will happen to all of us. We should just accept that we really didn't make much difference in the short time on this planet. No matter how rich, smart, pretty, we all end the same.

No, I have stated very clearly I am to have no funeral of any kind, my body can be striped of any usable bits, the rest can go in a furnace, any cash that would have been spent on a funeral can go in to a fund behind the bar in a pub and anyone left who gives a shit about me can get drunk at my expense.
The last thing I want is fawning insincere platitudes and lies about my life which has on the whole been an enjoyable waste of time.

He was born...

I need to do that. It sounds like fun. I'm constantly updating my bio ... or at least every few years. Adding places I've exhibited or curated exhibitions, etc.
I've also written my suicide note several times. I too have the Big C. I also make lists of artwork I bequith to different people upon my death.
The obit might be the next step. Thanks for the suggestion.

My father did, chose his own pics and everything. It was interesting as one of the pics was from his childhood I had never seen before and didn’t know what the significance was but clearly it was to him.
