I just got back from an amazing conference- Flashbelt, in Minneapolis. http://www.flashbelt.com

On the one hand it was amazing and inspiring and energizing, on the other hand it made me look at the work I’ve done over the past couple of years in a new and less favorable light, and on one foot it makes me realize just how awesome the work I’m doing single-handedly really is, and on the other foot it makes me realize just how much more I need to / want to grow.

So, really a lot of different things going on here. Go check out the speakers page at the flashbelt site if you want to be awed.

edit — I guess WordPress doesn’t automatically link to URL’s anymore. that’s annoying. Also- there are supposed to be many line breaks to show the 3 seperate paragraphs in the above text, but I guess WordPress does not want to show those either.

here’s the link to Flashbelt: http://www.flashbelt.com

I have put up a number (13 actually) of my watercolor drawing for sale on the gigposters.com site - go check them out. Only $25 a piece, framed in a simple clip frame.

This is a close-up preview shot of a new art print I recently completed. It’s an art print that is going to go into a trade pool with a bunch of artists from gigposters and other places. It’s being organized by the talented Leia Bell, check out her work here: http://www.leiabell.com.

Basically, 50 or so artists are submitting an 8×10 art print with “food” as the subject matter.

I used this print to test a new color separation and printing method I came up with last week. In a nutshell, I like the way it looks and I’m going to be producing the next number of prints and posters using this technique. I’m planning to bump up to 16 or 18×24 at some point too.
