There are so many, many interesting people in the world; it’s too bad we won’t have time to meet most of them. Just track back a few “likes” on your Facebook page and you’ll find fascinating profiles of people who are intelligent and/or clever and/or downright brilliant. I wish they were my friends. It also [...]

Thought for the day
I used to have a lot of time on my hands; now I have too many hands on my time.
I don’t art, therefore I am not . . . am I?
Can I call myself an artist when I haven’t created anything artistic in over a year? Does a website count? What about marketing materials I made at my day job? Does that count? I think of myself as an artist. I always have new ideas. I don’t carry a sketch book. I bought new materials [...]
CSS SOS?
Well, not really. I think I’m beginning to figure this CSS (cascading style sheets) stuff out. This web site is FINALLY on its feet and I can start focusing on content now. What a relief. Eventually, I may even figure out how to get traffic.
How to become a tattoo artist
Well, I learned something today, and, frankly, it makes me kind of nervous. Did you know there are virtually no actual tattoo training schools? Apparently, the most common way to become a tattoo artist is to apprentice another artist/studio. In other words, on-the-job training. To me, that’s a little scary. After all, tattooing is a [...]
… And another
Since April last year, I became extremely busy. K and I decided 2009 was the year to buy a house, and so we did! We started looking in May, made an offer in July, and moved during August. It has a lot of pluses, but the biggest one for me is a semi-finished garage I’m [...]
And then a year went by
For those of you keeping track, it has been about a year and a half since I posted anything here. Several reasons: I’ve been busy, I didn’t want to take the time to update, I’ve been depressed, and I wasn’t sure I was even going to keep this going. Looks like I am. Backtracking: June [...]
Contemplating a different new job, and a show
So K was working at this cool place where we got decent health insurance and restaurant credit (gift cards, nice places! ). Then, wouldn’t you know it, she got a job offer from the City– finally. So she had to decide: take the City job with less pay, farther away, and higher insurance copays, or stay [...]
New job’s keepin’ me busy
I’m working 4/10s (4 ten-hour days)now through the summer, with one day a week at home alone as a “studio” day, which is great; it’s really nice to know that at the end of my week I will definitely have time to work at my “other” career. Been busy with that, too. I entered three [...]
You know what opinions are like
Observations about art (specifically art for sale on eBay): Most “digital art” turns me off. If you took a fantastic picture and used PhotoShop to punch it up a little, than I believe that’s art. If you sliced-and-diced a couple of digital images so it doesn’t look like a photo anymore, that’s doodling. If you [...]
