Summerland Studio

Working in the Studio

I got some time in the studio this morning before succumbing to my cold.  It (the cold) evidently arrived yesterday while I was waiting for the tow truck outside yesterday... don't ask.  So I did a couple of pieces on masonite before my head became too big and heavy to hold up.  Neither are completely finished - need a few finishing flourishes - but I like them both.  One is kind of weird.  I got to use a note I found in a book from the thrift store a couple of years back from a guy named Justin to the best girlfriend he's ever had.  The piece is one of those that probably no one will ever like or get but me, but that's okay.  Sometimes you just need to do those. 

They both need some crayon and colored pencil finishing touches... maybe after a nap.

Evaluating Your Creative Life

I just finished my first video blog post.  That was about as awkward as a first date... when you were a teenager.  I think I look and sound weird.  People who know me may say, "No, that's what you're like", but in my head I'm completely different.  But I really do have that much hair.

Anyway, enough about my neurosis.  I wanted to share with you my thoughts on doing a self-evaluation of your creative work life.  I think it's a really great idea and, though I ramble, I hope it helps you get focused for 2010.

AND WHO PICKED THAT PARTICULAR PLACE TO FREEZE FRAME I ASK YOU?!
