Was a busy weekend decorating the house, setting up the xmas tree and working here.  Wanted to take as much time AWAY from the studio as I reasonably could with a deadline only 2 weeks away here.  Still a few things on my mind this morning as I prepare for another LOOOONNNNGGG day in the studio here. First off, I didn't get a chance ...

I'm groggy this morning. I have a bit of a headache as well, which doesn't mix with being groggy very well at all.  The good thing is, that I don't have to go anywhere today to get to work. The roads are a mess my wife informed me after dropping the kids off at school.  So once I imbibe enough coffee this morning to actually ...

not much today. haven't slept well the last few days, not sure why. surprisingly I'm not a complete jerk because of it. I've been ecstatic with the work I've been doing both coloring and painting the last 2 weeks.  I seem to have found whatever it was that I had lost that was sucking my energy and life out of my work.  ...

busy week, busy MONTH coming up here.  here's what I've got brewing inside my head this morning. The new Cure album, 4:13 Dream, might be my favorite album in the last few years.  It might be the best Cure album since Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me or Wish actually.  Which is saying a lot because I'm a huge music fan, and ...

been one of my longest breaks from blogging all year. Things have been super busy though with school starting up again for the kids, between volleyball games for my daughter, football practice twice a week for my son, in addition to a football game, and then watching the game film with the other coaches......oh, and I have tried to actually ...

wow, I don’t know if my life is stuck in a proverbial and sort of mystical projection of a game of chutes and ladders the last 2 weeks or not, but it sure does feel like I’m on a huge game board right now, and the Universe keeps letting me climb up one of those ladders only to find myself sliding down a chute a day or two ...

Been a pretty shitty week.  The digital canvas prints I had done arrived this week, and turned out TERRIBLE, so I got in touch with the printer and they made excuses about this or that, and are reprinting but I won't hold my breath.  I'll have to just suck it up, crack out the tubes of paint and my brushes and touch up the canvas ...

the portfolio site has been updated with the start of the new direction that I’m planning on heading in here in the studio. New colors, simpler (I hope) navigation, and a soon to be expanding digital painting section being featured. The first of my new canvas prints is scheduled to arrive today via Fed Ex, so I’m eagerly ...

so every one of my books I'm coloring is on hold for one reason or another right now.  I spent the weekend away with the wife for our anniversary and also contemplating my future artistic focus.  Also spent the latter part of yesterday, and some time this morning doing the same thing-trying to figure out what direction to take.  ...

yesterday was a crappy day motivationally, until after dinner. Today, I'm completely jazzed. Been working away at wrapping colors on a book due next Wednesday, I'll likely be done a few days earlier at my current pace. Been inking pages here as well this week, and been burning some midnight oil to fit in some super secret project that ...
