Back when the economy started to go south I started to worry how it might effect me and my job as an artist. Then one day in the mail I received a notice informing me that I had been laid off. I was to cease and desist all art making and art related activities (like blogging about art!) I was devastated, art was the most important thing in my life. I desperately sought out new hobbies to parlay into a full time career but to no avail. Nothing was as satisfying as pulling a brush thick with oil paint across a freshly stretched canvas. So I decided to lower my standards and seek an entry level position in art. And surprisingly I was hired on by an arts chain within a couple of months on the market. It’s going to be hard to paint and blog my way back up to the top, but I just feel so lucky to be given the opportunity.

I’ve been adding stuff to the different sections, please make me aware of any blatant mistakes or omissions.
It’s October tomorrow, that means Fall nostalgia is almost in full swing. It also means that the next “Handmake” is right around the corner. October 25 in the Quirk gallery parking lot. More details as soon as I figure them out. Send me an email if you think you might want to set up a table, or if you want to be added to the mailing list. If you couldn’t make it out this summer, here’s what you missed.

look out world, here comes my blog
