A Day in the Art Life

My Blog, My Life, My Thoughts.

"Daily blog"? Indeed

Sorry, I haven't posted in some time - I have had to re-assess what I want to say and how to say it. Just blathering on about the dificulites of the art biz was getting even me depressed, and there is too much good stuff to concentrate on only that. Yes, there are many prospects that don't get closed, but let's talk about the ones that I have.

At this moment, I'm working on illustrating a book, that has great mystery in its plot, and it is true. I am challenged to go beyond my whimsical style and make images that conjur up the right mood. My client is very nice, fun to work with, and work the extra time and effort I'm putting in.

The illustrated poetry continues to be inspiring, and I've got some 24 pages done. My client and I are both excited about it, and will keep working on it for the forseeable future. Each page is unique in the way its been designed, but many of the pages have been designed to work together too. It's going to be a great comic book.

I have some other wonderful prospects that I'm trying not to get too excited about unti they reach frutition. And, I'm working on a fine piece of pop art, that began when my then 11 year old step daughter threw her Mickey Mouse vinyl wallet in the garbage. Guess who fished it out and began a piece of art working around it?

As the pianist I met recently told me, "I bless every day I can play music for a living". So, i too , bless each day I create art for mine.
