Ready

So after a pretty busy weekend of prep I can say if I don't do another single thing and go to a show I will be OK with that. Not that I am planning that by any means but it is nice to hit a spot were you can coast if you have to. I have over a hundred mini prints to bag and dozens upon dozens of greeting cards to do when I get them. Then of course we start packing. I am excited to get back out there again.

Today has been busy booking hotels and flights for shows in the late summer, ordering some more inventory and taking some business calls. I had to book a place to stay for anthrocon because I hadn't yet. I have some website updating to do (as always) an order to fill and of course painting.

I am thinking the next one will be digital and more of an anthro piece for anthrocon. I have lots of works in progress that I can pick up at any time. I want to have a new painting to show off at MD fairy festival. I have three for Greenman, then the fairy festival is the very next week. We are about to get SO busy, with the shows and the figurines coming in we are going to be checking them in the evenings for some time to come. It is going to take forever to check it all but I will check it. That is something not a lot of the other artists can boast. At one point I touch and inspect each one of these pieces. I sign them. If it isn't good enough I don't sell it.

Today I am not painting, I wanted to give my hand a rest after painting all week and weekend finishing up Cloud Dance. I am pretty pleased with it. I will work on sketching some concepts for my new piece and then call it at day. I still have house chores to do and I am clearing out old stuff we don't want or need anymore. It is hard to keep a house with 8 pets, a messy artist and an equally messy engineer pristine. I try. I know when the fur tumbleweeds start to migrate across the floor it is time to sweep ;) You don't want to leave dust bunnies unchecked for too long, they become feral if you do..

Anyway, hope everyone has a great day! See lots of you this weekend!!!
