Planning

Well things are looking up. I am getting into a lot of the shows I want to and it is shaping up to be a very busy year. Its pretty cool to be a featured artist at my hometown show The Maryland Fairy Festival. I will be with the very talented Linda Biggs who is also a MD girl.

I am about half way through painting my Fall dragon which is good. I want him done by Friday at the latest. I am thinking of trying a different style for a while and see if it works. I have some ideas in the works for other things.

My art closet is clean and my studio is part way there. I also started working out again and trying to get to bed at a respectable hour, well respectable for me anyway. I have been reading at night and thanks to paperbackswap.com I never run out of books. I finished Isolde, Queen of the western Isle which was really good and started Kitty and the silver bullet which is 4th in a series of Kitty Norville books I have been reading. Now all I have to do is finish it and hope someone posts the 5th one. I have a stack of books to read including Stardust, The lady and the Unicorn, Guenevere, Queen of the Summer Country and a few more.

I am also planning out my costumes and such for the shows this year. I have a few but I can't keep wearing the exact same thing to the exact same place over and over, especially when I am a special guest. I have some things in the works, I am working on some accessories. I know Johnnie is making me some steampunk wings for my one outfit and we are having a meeting tonight about some feather wings, crowns and other things, We are also plotting out our propanels and when we should expand into a double booth. The numbers this year is going to really determine wether or not we will be needing an additional tent and space and the shows. Maybe next year, maybe the year after. We are also doing ads and the book and a million other things as usual. And as usual when things get crazy nuts Johnnie has a big work project and has to work overtime. Sigh.

So far I haven't gotten any offers about my original art which is surprising because I am letting you name your own price. If you want to make an offer email ash@ashevans.com with the subject heading offer.

Well my paint wash is dry so off to work on fall dragon again.

have a great day everyone!
