My entire vision of the next half year changed this morning. Tuition bills can do that. I do look forward, however, to making more art than expected. Survival and fun!

My first goal as an artist straight out of college is to pay back that debt. My father always told me that a man isn’t free if he is in debt and its true. There are places I want to travel, things I’d like to experience, but can’t because I have little money and a lot of debt. If I had little money and no debt that would be a different story. Working several jobs has allowed me to start paying back borrowed funds and focus on artwork as a joy and not a marketable product (although I fully intend to market it once it is produced).
I came back from Madison my mind a little dazed from all the smoke and drink, but energized by all the things set in motion. I’m working on several projects which I cannot discus here, but will reveal later. Also, for those who are used to my daily posting of images I am sorry to disappoint. I’ve been working on art more than usual, but have little time left with all my other jobs to post anything. There will come a day though…
ALSO. I’m really digging wordpress 3.0 which is the CMS I’ve built my site from and FlickrGallery (the plugin I display my images with) is now capable of making images as big as your screen’s resolution allows. Its slightly slower, but totally worth it. YES.
Its been a pleasure hosting couch surfers at our house. So far we’ve had about 5 since our house went up on the site. I have to say its been great interacting with such a variety of wonderful people! One of our surfers dropped of a giant box of paints for me, incredible.
I’m traveling to madison in a couple of days to see friends and family. Its going to be a much needed release since I’ve been busier than I was with 4 studio classes in my last semester of art school:
