taking a break (well, more of one)
10 years ago
Big life changes in the next year and i don't know how much art i'll actually produce until things stabilize. i'm only doing 2, maybe 3 shows this year total. i just can't be planning on that kinda stuff right now. plus i don't have anything new to sell.
What changes you ask?
1. I'm getting married! This has been coming for at least a year but it's been one family tragedy after another on both sides. We had to both mourn our lost loved ones and deal with other stuff. not really the time to talk nuptials. Now is the time though to move forward and start our lives together under one roof which leads to...
2. Moving into a new home! we found a place and are negotiating the money end of it. please send positive thoughts our way so we can land what will be a perfect home, including my own studio space!
3. A new job! I couldn't take it anymore. art wasn't paying the bills and I/we have plans for the future that involve money. I started a warehouse job at Diamond comics here in Memphis so at least i'll still be around all the geeky things i love but whew, it's wearing me out. still getting used to the new routine and hopefully i can start doing art again soon once i manage my energy level better. I do like the job so far though.
Anyway, that's it. To all of those who are following me, I'm still here and I'll be back stronger than ever soon enough. Just gotta start a new chapter in my life first.
