    I’m still stumbling forth. I have however, completed some of the note cards I started, just to do SOMETHING! These remind me of some of the labor I did to drop retail to do something more meaningful and creative. Let’s see, ACEOs, note cards, portraits, quick sketch portraits, and the list goes on. One thing…

    It’s That Time Again…

    I renewed this blog again. I wasn’t sure if I was going to, it gets expensive after a while, but here I went, and did it anyway. Which brings to mind, just what was I doing over ten years when I started this blog? This was the last picture on display long, long time ago.…

  • Hello Darkness and All the Rest of my Friends

    Hello Darkness and All the Rest of my Friends

    Well the story goes like this. I’ve been having a string of sleepless nights, and then, I realized one night it was dark. I hadn’t been really conscious of it, but with the thinning of the veil, the approach of Halloween, or Samhain as I observe, it really sank in. The darkness. So, this is…

    Well, That Went Over Like a Lead Balloon

    As you may recall, I was going to start another blog on my new gallery site, and leave this one in the dust. It just wasn’t a great design for a blog, I couldn’t add pictures, and I’ve got all of you over here already enjoying what I write. So, for my gallery site, go…

    And the Story Continues…

    So, I’ve been reading and listening to all sorts of tips to sell my art. My head is spinning around now, and I frequently ask myself? Is this worth it? The answer is yes, it’s been what I’ve wanted all my life. That is, if I don’t want to be really pissed off on my…

  • I’m Being Haunted

    I’m Being Haunted

    I’m out again, looking for shows to enter and galleries to represent me. I’m wiser this time, and I have lost my fear of rejection, but still, it’s tiring. One gallery director keeps wanting me to do something different than what I do. Maybe should just tell me she doesn’t like my style? I’ve given…

    In the Year of the Tiger

    Once again, we’ve come to my birthday. Everybody always say “You’re a St. Patrick’s Day baby”. Recently, though, I’ve been telling people that I’m a St. Gertrude’s Day baby. It’s especially relevant in the Year of the Tiger. Cats. And people. https://www.facebook.com/events/541677760467486/ And a horse. I’m working on a lot of small pictures right now,…

  • What to do if You’re Stranded in Space

    What to do if You’re Stranded in Space

    Near the Creative Black Hole, naturally. I’ve got a couple of strategies for getting through inspiration less time. One is, don’t forget your sense of humor…do something crazy and fun that you wouldn’t otherwise. And/or……go back to an old idea that you haven’t been able to quite get right. When I used to visit New…

  • There’s Something Strange Going On Around Here

    There’s Something Strange Going On Around Here

    Ok, as is not unusual for me, I’m dealing with an on and off depression. Definitely prefer the times when the depression is off, but that doesn’t prevent me from doing things when the depression is on. As in artwork. I used to swear not too do it, but this time, I was halfway through…
