I’m also a little blown away (is that possible? It really seems a contradiction in terms) that I’ve entered three times (2007, 2008, 2010) and was accepted all three. I wanted to enter in 2009, but I was, sadly, too busy buying a house and moving to actually make any art other than a few pieces of jewelry over a couple of days’ vacation last summer. I’m hoping “Fronds” will sell, but at the same time I’m concerned; sooner or later I’m going to have to get a business license and collect sales tax and all that, and I still find it a bit confusing.

I have added a whole lot of new images to my CafePress store and updated a lot of the old stuff. Particularly relevant to me at the moment are the Analog Mind-themed items (Texting it Old School and Analog Handheld) . My goal with the store is to get people acquainted with my art and have the shop pay for itself. It’s almost done that in the past. So I have to figure out all this marketing stuff, submitting to search engines, etc. etc.

The love-hate relationship with technology continues.
