STUFF! Short Update - Aug. 25, 2016

"Still Waiting" ©2006

Again, about my absence from social media for another month now...I'm still not well. Doctor visits,  medication changes, antibitotics, etc; life's not too fun lately. Frankly, it's very exhausting. However, that doesn't stop me from letting you know what's happening with my art, among other things.

I've been working on a TON of things "behind the scenes" - so to speak. Primarily, a good amount of reorganization (mainly reshoots & edits of about 2/3rds of my paintings) and other things I'd rather not divulge just yet. But I will be updating my Artist Statement due to a change in artistic direction. With some good luck, help from those I love (you know who you are! ;-)  and a lot of encouragement, I have things that (to me) are exciting and new on the way. I can't wait to share them with you... but unfortunately, I have to. Just for now.

Aside from those things, I've had a lot of time to ruminate on ideas for just about anything. Paintings, videos (possibly), art for art's sake, photography, my mind is overflowing with them. I do intend to share these in the near future, along with the other things I mentioned in the previous paragraph. If I do take long to do it, I apologize - more than likely it will have to do with illness and not stagnation or apathy. 

However...
...if  Frida can do it, so can I! 

So I'll leave you with this thought: there are some really awesome things coming up. They're just in that "pre-production" stage. The Big Cartel store has been temporarily halted for the summer, I will get it running again. There are some template problems to be dealt with and a few changes in products to be made. But, if you'd like a look at the clunky old version, you can see it here. Furthermore, if you'd like to contact me about owning one or more - message me here!

I will also update the Facebook page when more of the reshoots of my paintings are edited. For others I'll have to use the older, blurrier versions due to the state of the original paintings that made it impossible to photograph - until I can fix them. Those few may take some time to get to.

If you don't hear from me for any significant length of time, I'm working on new things that I love doing which I'll share with you later! I hope you'll enjoy! Or not, up to you. Art is subjective, as is personal taste. Until then, thank you for your patience!
