Well, things have been pretty dead lately, but are starting to pick up. I haven't been able to really paint because I have too many other things to work on, such as finishing scanning all my paintings and preparing for upcoming art events. Since the Coshocton Art Guild disbanded, I'm now planning to join the Coshocton County Arts and Cultural Alliance, maybe just to spite all those old women who think 'fantasy art' is an oxymoron. At least I'll get benefits.

Anywho, I've just recently started work on my March painting for my calendar, Beneath the Surface, which is a little late. I managed to get a better image of Box o' Chocolates scanned and posted [link]. Mostly, I've been working on merchandise.

As for the newspaper interview, I was just contacted yesterday via e-mail by the lady writing these articles, so we haven't set up a date yet, but it IS on. I haven't been able to go to work the past couple of days, except for late in the evening when my dad can take me, because of the Fat Bastard car I drive (a 1986 Caprice Classic). When driving home the other night, I kept hearing something rattling. The next day, upon inspection, I found that the exhaust pipe had broken off the muffler and was dragging on the road. Strangely, the car didn't sound any louder, that is, until when I went to leave for work. Now it's like a little explosion inside your head. Fortunately, one of the benefits of working for a newspaper is that you don't typically work appointed hours.
