From my sketchbook...





I wish I had more finished pieces to show off, but the truth is that I've been working exclusively on really large (for etchings) stuff for the last few months, and while I'm close to having something to show for it, that day is not today.  So enjoy this quick sketch for now.

A few weeks ago, I managed to wreck both of my functioning computers.  One laptop died due to old age (props to Toshiba for making a budget laptop that survived four years), and as I was mourning it's death by surfing the internets on my netbook later that evening, I managed to get the worst case of computer herpes ever (stupid viruses!).  It took over two weeks to get the netbook up and running again (and I can't take credit for that - thank goodness for the tech savvy!), and it's currently my go-to machine.  That's not so good when you need to do any kind of image editing, but my replacement laptop won't be here for at least another couple of weeks, so I'm making do with a 10.1" screen and no optical drive.  Two more weeks, two more weeks...

It's also getting to be the time of year to apply for the summer art fairs, which I hope bears at least as much fruit as last year.  I really enjoyed the two shows that I did, and I'd love to do more than that this summer.  I guess it's kind of a crapshoot every year, though.  Keep your fingers crossed for me, I could use all the extra luck available.

Well, that's the lay of the land for the moment.  Hopefully, tomorrow will be a good day of printing, and I'll have something to show off by the end of the weekend.  Talk to you then!
