Sorry, no art to post this time. Instead, here's a picture of me and my dog Doc.I'll try to give you more next time. In case you're wondering, Doc is the one with all the hair. Son-of-a-bitch.

Mr. Creative Can't Come Up With A Clever Title
Another day. Another step forward. I made some progress this week. Lot's of things that needed to be done that I had been putting off. I sorted some of my art supplies. It's a necessary evil for someone like me who is pressed for space. Stash some things here, stack a few boxes there. Soon I've lost all track of what I have. Except for my acrylic paints. They, along with their corresponding brushes, are on my work bench. Next to my easel. All I've done for months is paint with acrylics, except for some airbrushed shirts and hoodies. I used to love watercolors. I haven't had them organized enough, nor enough space cleared off, to really do anything with them. I will have that taken care of soon. I also did some clutter removal in the rest of the house. Clearing all that out released a lot of energy, which I channeled in to two new large (36"x24") paintings. I'm still working on the second one. The first one looks pretty good. They were mighty fun to paint. And long over due. Maybe next week I can have a similar breakthrough on the business end of my art. Ah, a fella can dream.

I Really Need A Holiday
I didn't realize it had been so long since I've posted here. I figured with the holiday chaos that it would be a week or two, but I've been slacking too much on my artistic responsibilities. My wife totaled her truck two weeks ago and I've been taking care of her since. She's banged up, has a few cracked bones, and a lot of sore muscles. She's progressing nicely though. I hate that she's hurting so much, but it has been nice spending so much more time with her. I've also been dealing with doctors, insurance, car rentals, car dealers, and other assorted corporate nuisances. I also sold quite a few custom t-shirts link and hoodies. The extra money came in handy, as it always does, but I'm always a bit stressed when I do custom artwork of any kind. I want to do a good job and it keeps me from relaxing and going with the flow. They were all very well received but I was very glad to find some time at the end of last week to do some artwork just for me. Some were more fun than others, but there was absolutely no pressure to create magnificent artwork. Oddly, some of them are pretty magnificent.
