I finally entered The United Plates into its 5th and final juried competition today. It’s a tough task filling out all the forms, tagging the work, making sure everything is correct for each submission, mailing them off. They all seem to want different things. Then there’s the cost that’s a tough pill sometimes, but I’ve [...]

Franz Ferdinand – Tonight
Friday, February 27th, 2009Band – Franz Ferdinand Album – Tonight: Franz Ferdinand Record Label – Domino Date Released – January 19th, 2009 Franz Ferdinand is back after a lengthy delay. After the smashing success of their debut, it didn’t take them long to follow up with You Could Have It So Much Better. It couldn’t get much better [...]
The Insyderz
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009So I continue on down my trail of memories – tales of bands from the past. There are so many hidden in my youth that I could write one a day for a year and my blog would be overflowing. Right now that band is The Insyderz.
Fold Zandura
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009I love this band. I’ve been listening to them since 1997. I find it funny how great art, no matter what kind it is, typically goes overlooked and under-appreciated while it’s being created and quite possibly long after its old news. Sometimes, in never gets its dues. I think Fold Zandura will forever fall into [...]
Sketchy
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009I will be posting as many sketches as possible in this section of my site. I’m attempting to turn off the filter in my mind and draw regardless of the outcome. I often spend too much time in “detail mode.” Similarly, I’m posting sketches in this blog regardless of quality. Draw! Draw! Draw!
Bill and Kernie
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009I realized that I am blessed. For almost 20 years I was able to build a strong relationship with both of my great-grandparents. Many people can’t say the same for even their grandparents, let alone the next generation.
Thanks for nothing WordPress
Saturday, February 14th, 2009Ok, so I’m not a web designer. I honestly hate it with a passion and the only reason I even attempt to do it a couple weeks out of the year is so I don’t have to mess with it the rest of the time. I have to be in the mood to care, and [...]
Buy Prints Via Etsy
Saturday, February 7th, 2009A little bit of business wizardry, I am now a member of the Etsy community. For those of you that have yet to purchase a print from me, you can do so on shorthanded.etsy.com as well as my store. There is no real difference, only that the Etsy community is a much tighter nit community [...]
MaeTV
Friday, February 6th, 2009New Mae video. Mae has posted the new music video for “The House That Fire Built.” My “1 Song a Month for 12 Months” blog was quite popular and I’d like to say thanks to all those that read it. If any of you have not already done so, I suggest you go to whatismae.com or [...]
