my brain = fried

that is all...

drawing commission

it fell through...i have a feeling it was price, but what can you do - i'm pretty cheap :) i have some other things going on i can't talk about until i know more...but in the meantime i'm working on my A,B,C series... i also dropped off my piece for the art center show - if you're local to lawrence, ks - please stop by the opening reception: Saturday 7/25 | 7pm - 9pm Lawrence Art Center 940 New Hampshire Lawrence, KS 66044 the show will be up until 8/21 if you can't make the opening. also on 7/25 is the Ric Rac Roundup at bon bon atelier in westport (KC) - you can see my work live and in person inside the store! :) very exciting :) this weekend is the DII championship swim meet so i couldn't participate in the art/craft fair...but hopefully will be able to do the next one and with a new series depending on timing! :)

to do list...

• take art in for all members show at the lawrence art center today + fee • respond to carey with date and time options - tomorrow • discuss drawing commission - tomorrow • DII swim meet this weekend • review portfolio - tonight • tae kwon do @ 8pm - tonight • remind guitar teacher no less on sunday this week • 7/27-7/31 photoshop daycamp for the boy • jer is in town 7/31-8/2 my brain feels fried...

C is for cat | lino block carved

A, B and C have turned out well... D is for doll E is for egg F is for farm G is for garden H is for house and i have most of them figured out except U, X, Y & Z i think... i think the fine art prints will be one thing and then the blocks might also have a "handmade" relevance as well...like maybe i'll get a sewing machine and make coin purses with letters printed on them...or something that people might be more likely to buy :) i don't want to sacrifice the vision or the art, but i am thinking broader now into what might sell...i'd love for someone to fall in love with my work and either hire me to design for their line (of whatever!) or decide to mass produce one of my designs...but i wouldn't know how to begin to make that happen except to just create - put it out there - see what happens...

cocktail hour

this evening we are getting together with some of my old friends from the days of church :) i'm not into church, religion or anything of the sort...i think religion is a social convention and it's great for people who desire that kind of a social outlet...personally, i'll stick to cocktails every few weeks with friends and facebook :) but i do have a religious history... my dad went to seminary, he was to be the priest in the family and pray everyone into heaven. i don't know the details, but he dropped out of seminary :) this makes me think that my dad and i would have been great friends :) i was raised catholic. i remember my first penance where i lied to the priest because in 2nd grade i didn't really fancy myself a sinner. i remember my first eucharist and discovering that i like red zinfandel. my dad died when i was 10 and a little over a year later we moved to the town where both my parents had grown up. my mom was no longer satisfied with the catholic church
