shadows_galleryIt's been a whirlwind few weeks.
I don't remember off hand what my last update consisted of, except that I had spoken of leaving Texas to return to California. Well, it's all settled, and I will be on the plane tomorrow.
I am excited and a touch nervous.
I have two portraits to complete. I just haven't gotten to them in the rush to pack up everything and get them ready to go. I will be getting to them as I have time, but they *will* get done, as will the handful of promised color pieces I have in the works. I'll be working full time, and probably overtime, over the summer, so things may be extremely slow in the art department. But I'll get it all done.
Once I've caught up, though, I'm going on a bit of an artistic hiatus. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop doing artwork altogether; I'm just going to let it take a bit of a back burner. I may play with fan art in this time-- it'll help keep my skills up to date.
In the autumn, work slows to part time (at least in my experience), and in that time I'm going to shift focus back to the artwork. And I have some plans to implement as well-- for instance, I'm going to be offering book illustration specials, both black and white and color. I may also hold the occasional Free Sketch Day, though I won't be able to do that regularly.
I am absolutely not going to abandon this blog for any extended period of time, though. If I've got art to share, I'll share it. If not, I'll write updates or other entries. I might be able to do a bit of creative introspection writing, as I used to do. I will also do regular signal boosting as things catch my attention.
It's going to be a challenge, juggling life and work at a resort with art and crowdfunding, but I am determined.
