Tuesday, March 29, 2011

For those who missed my little video today on Facebook, you get a chance to see it here.  No fancy edits.  No deep story line.  Just me missing out on “The Ball.”  Hopefully we’ll see me show up at PSW this Fall in Vegas…… And just so you know…..I was not sitting around editing video [...]

A few new favorites

Monday, March 28, 2011

2 minute edits…..Sometimes good, sometimes missing the mark

Spaced it on so many things yesterday, including the blog

Wednesday, March 23, 2011

Good grief.  You get on a roll sometimes and things just pass you by.  Like blogging.  Or presenting at a club meeting.  Or eating lunch……etc, etc, etc. Yesterday was one of those busy days.  Several metallic prints, finishing up 8 canvases, receiving a few more paintings to image and color match.  Yeah, busy. Who has [...]
