New Year [almost]

Getting into the swing of the year's end, before it's actually up; I thought I'd post something.
I have no heat in my studio, but my wife bought me a heater (and it's awesome); I realized the other night while I was working that "...it's damn cold in here." My heater helped.
The reading on the temp gauge said "32" (degrees F), and outside was 26F. I'm not sure if the temp gauge goes below 32 or not, but I cranked up the heat while I was drawing.
I was also drinking a Peppermint tea, like my horoscope said I should. I'm sure this helped warm them bones. And when I went in to pee, I mentioned something about drawing, and wifey said something about "...can't you just draw inside."
NO.
Well, I wound up just going in as my studio was getting to a warm 38F.
But I did make some fantastic sketches/oil pastels about a new direction I may explore. The more I think about it, the better I feel about getting out of A-town.
There I had (/have) a reputation as a 'fucking prick' or 'jerk' or 'asshole' or some other derrougatory term that I don't know I'm being referred to as. Whatever, I'm not really swayed by the sounds of fuckwads from 1,000 miles away.

I am going to do something, probably a series or maybe just a few pieces, soon about my joyous time in the A-town.

OH and I'm doing a series of my friends. If you want to be painted as I see it, email me a pic of your face. [straight on from top-of-head to just past shoulders]

New Years Resolutions

My wife asked me the other day, what my new year's resolution is. I told her I don't make those things. But as I have thought about it, and the type of motivation it could give me, I have decided to do something this year.
It won't exactly be a resolution, more of a goal or standard that I will hold myself to; ok, so I guess it will be a resolution (but I won't call it that).
My whole plan will be to:
1. Blog my art at least three times a week. [That's not a lot, but it's way more consistent than I am now.]
2. Finish at least two works a week. [This will be a little more difficult to achieve.]
3. Keep my website maintained better. [It seems it's always being messed with. I want to make my site reliable and informative. I haven't decided if I want to make it iphone accessable, or not.
4. (and this is up to eveyone) Sell more art. [I love commissions.]

There, wifey should be happy. And she may even see this; Since she has a working computer, and she is the only person who currently suscribes to this blog.
