WIPs!!!

I've been bitten by the Christmas bug recently, and I'm not complaining. I know it's wierd, since Halloween has not yet arrived, but I've been thirsting for Christmas movies, music, and most important, Christmas sculpting! The pic above shows a few things I've been working on.

New Sculpture on Etsy

I tried my best to have this guy ready for the October STJ update, but I couldn't swing it. This will probably be the last Halloween piece for a while, but you never know!

Spooky (primetime) Jingles!

I guess you could say October is the start of prime time at STJ. I have a few things lined out, including a few ACEOs and a Santa sculpture. I can't imagine what everyone else has cooked up for this month!

I wanted to show you some WIP photos, and some pictures I took from a little trip I took this weekend, but my uploader is not cooperating for some reason. Sorry! I'll post the pics as soon as it hopefully fixes itself lol.

See you tonight at STJ!

Been a While

It's been almost a month since my last post, and I have no excuse. I've been pretty lazy with my art and blog lately, but I'm back now!

Sometimes it's good to clear your mind of art for a little while. It's like going to bed after a hard days work and waking up fresh. My mind is cleared and I'm ready to go now.

Despite the laziness, I do have a few things ready for Spookytime Jingles on the 13. Look for three new art cards for Halloween, and a very unique Santa, one of my fav new pieces in a while!

Etsy Front Page!

I was featured on the front page twice and didn't even know it!! Fortunately, the wonderful Suz of Surprise, Delight, Joy informed me. Thanks Suz! The above ACEO was the most recently featured, and I just found out from an archive site that the below Frank was featured.

A Great Way to Start the Day

It's almost update time again, and I've been trying my best to get everything finished. Lately I've been implementing a double dose of coffee, one of my favorite tools in art. The mug is from my favorite coffee house, a local place called "Java Jacks." I think their coffee is much better than Starbucks. The coffee in the mug, however, is just some good 'ol Folgers, "the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup!"

When brewed properly, a good cup of coffee in your favorite mug can wake you up and massage your artistic shoulders. That's what it does for me anyway.

In the picture, you'll see a snowman WIP from an earlier post. The snowman has a bit more color in this pic, and is almost completely finished as I type. I also have an ornament set, and two Halloween sculptures on the way, so keep an eye out!

Happy (late) Birthday, to my Wife

I'm sorry it's been so quite around here; I think I just saw a tumbleweed. The truth is I haven't had time to post lately, and as you know, my computer cord is out.

Anyway, yesterday was my wife's birthday. She just turned 24!! This day a landmark for her in more than one way. She also taught her first class at SFA, our local university. She's teaching intermediate algebra. Today she took her first grad school class. Wish her luck; as you can imagine, this is a lot to juggle!!

Now that Steph is a grad student, she has her own office!! Well she shares it with another grad student, but it's still pretty nifty, right?

Here's Steph, already hard at work in her new office.

The creepy looking thing above is a vulture. It kind of freaked me out when I first saw it. Apparently, it's a tradition to pass it down to new math and statistics grad students every year. He brings good luck if kept on a high shelf. LoL.

Also, I've been busy at work for the fall and Christmas season. STJ is right around the corner, so be prepared!
