Just a little purge…
I was not getting any return on my investment for my art from my Facebook pages or Twitter. I have deactivated all of them. If you are one of the very few people who even knew where they were on the Internet you can still find me here on WordPress. There are live links on…

Commercial Art
What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself? In the short term I would like to sell my art more effectively. My goal is to move $1100 by the end of the year. My commission is a little under 10% so CafePress will cut me a check for $100 which is the minimum…

The Before Time
Life Without A Computer I am a first generation gamer. I was around when Pong and Zork became commercial successes. I bought my first personal computer when I was fifteen.

Many Hands
There’s a proverb that goes, “Many hand make light work.” The more people you have for a job the quicker it goes. I got up earlier enough to take a shower before heading to the project downtown. We had lots of people today so things got sorted and stacked without delay. After the bulk of…

Laundry and Motivation
Now that I’m billing for the boys I don’t technically have days off. There’s always work to do for them around the house. I also need to do my laundry today. I don’t HAVE to get out of my pajamas for any of that, but it might give me more motivation to get dressed. There’s…
