How 'bout that...the first month of the new year is just about complete. Time sees to go by faster and faster the older and busier you become. But, don't let that stop you.
Thought I'd take this opportunity to say a few things before I disappear for a little while. First of all, THANK YOU EVERYONE who has been a part of or has had some kind of influence/impact on my 'little studio that could.' I know I've said it before, but I can't say 'thanks' enough to those who have brought me to where I am now. My insufficient gratitude will never equal the blessing I feel to make a living as an artist. Those who are and have always been in my corner, you know who you are...
Secondly, 2012 started in high gear. In all honesty, I'm busier now at the start of a new year than I have been since becoming a working artist with a day job or not. I not only see it as a sign of progress, but there is definitely a sense that the economy and perhaps, prosperity is on the mend. There is certainly something in the air that feels good, and for that I'm happy and confident that things will continue to grow for the better.
I'm finding myself becoming more and more ambitious with my art, design and creativity abilities, as well as those other mediums I've always been interested in working with, such as film and sound. I have some interesting tools at my disposal, currently, and I'm anxious to see what I can do with these things. So, with that said, my web presence is going to decrease for a bit, until I can either A) afford a web person to handle all of the studio's internet stuff, or B) find the time to do it myself and still get some decent sleep every week. Since neither is an option at the moment, the studio's social media pages, blogs, etc. will be quiet for a while. Call it a mid-season hiatus or a working vacation. I'll still pop in on occasion and see what's going on in the world, but there won't be much in the way of bountiful information I'll be sharing for a while. However, I can say to be on the look-out soon for info regarding upcoming art exhibits and such. There is a lot of goodies in the works right now, stuff I'm excited to share soon.
Again, thank you everyone who has been such a great supporter of my art and the studio these last few years, and to everyone who has been there from the beginning. It certainly means a lot to have so many great people behind me and my work.
The lights will be dimming down, but they won't be turning off...
