Another print! One day, I would like to have a French Bulldog. Or any dog, in fact. In the meantime, however, I can have a print of a dog that sits on my desk and makes me happy.

Sentimental Animals.

And here begins my venture into stationary! There's not much more to say about it, other than I'm finding this all to be really enjoyable...which means there will be many more editions and perhaps an effort to sell locally.

This time last year...

So very much has progressed since last year. However, one thing that always remains constant is the randomness...I came across a group of photos from January 2010. Some of them were taken before/at Chelsea's birthday party. I made a squirrel cake to celebrate the event, as only a squirrel cake would have been appropriate. I thought I would bring a photo out from hiding.

Latest plans are to make stationary! These plans will move forward as soon as I make it to the art store. However, this endeavor proves surprisingly difficult due to a number of unfortunate recent events and circumstances. Sooner than later though, I'll have something to show...and maybe sell...

Money is never the object. The object is the therapy. And sometimes, if one is lucky, the object makes someone else happy too. Sometimes, people buy things that make them happy. This is my latest Art Theory and Artist Statement. Deep.

Back with a bang.

I've always liked Chicago. Flying into and out of this city always makes me feel comfortable, like I can map my progress on a grid-patterned Earth. I like its order and I like its people. I think I could make the midwest my home for a while. We'll see what the northwest has to say about this. I've returned with a desire to get back into painting and drawing more traditionally. A few projects in line and plenty of drive to see them through. So here's to a New Year and the continuation of creation!
