i got a scanner!!!!

...and to prove it, here's the first drawing I did on a moleskine. Back in February of this year. I can't believe it's been 10 months since I've been drawing regularly.

This is a departure from an old picture of Fabio. I just used colored pencil and brush pen. It's special because it was the beginning to a new life for me!

My new scanner, after only 4 scans, has totally blown me away!
It's a CanonScan 8600F. I can scan slides and negatives. Soon all my baby pictures will be viewable again! :)

Oh, also, I finally have my photoblog up and running. Check it out here and leave me comments!

the end of November

It's the end of November, and I didn't do a face a day, but I did more than 20. And I still have a few more I want to do. It's been super fun, and I'm so glad I participated. There still other mediums I want to explore. And this was the push I needed to get my art blog going.

Thanks everybody who's been visiting and leaving comments. I need to have your comments in order to grow and improve. It can be lonely as an artist, when you're creating on your own.

Please pray for my efforts in art, as it pertains to starting a business. And using my time. And figuring out which direction to go into, and working diligently to set up my studio.
It's a lot of stuff, and I really need wisdom.

I have a few shirts which I printed in my class which I'm trying to sell. If you have any interest in a hand printed, limited edition, unique t-shirt, let me know.

Also, I will hopefully be launching my photoblog very soon. I'll keep you posted.

I'm so thankful for the gift of art and creativity which God planted in me. It's a real blessing!
