Keeping on movin'

Mondays tend to be long dragging days, so I'm starting mine with a blog and some coffee. Last week was very productive and I hope to keep it going with new projects and ideas. I did get as much as possible done on the comissioned piece, so it's been set aside until the clients decide what to put on the marqee. I'm very happy with the outcome because I felt a slight improvement on my technique. I haven't gotten the final word on my show date, but I've already come up with a theme and a rough number of pieces. This time, I will try my hardest to keep them all a secret until that day. This is going to be so hard, since a little input always helps. My web designer, JOE, will be using SlideShowPro as my new gallery tool. I love the slide transitions and the ability to upload and edit on the fly. The color scheme hasn't been decided so if you have any ideas, let me know. Last week I told you about by new business idea and probably jinxed myself since the perfect location was leased, that same day, by someone else. I know the person who leased it and I'm sure they'll be doing something awesome with the space. It's all a big secret so I'm digging to get the inside scoop. I'll post as soon as I know something. I'm not giving up on my ideas so expect something in the near future. Just accepted a totally different creative project, so I must begin planning and measuring today. They want a pretty fast turnaround, so more coffee please. These will be register covers for modern PC style touchscreen registers at a theater. Below is the basic design of each side. I will post something once the stain is on and my stress level has come down a bit. stay positive! Ed

Introduction

Working on a commissioned piece right now that's about 90% complete. I'm just waiting on clients to finalize the information for the marquee. I'm really hoping to finish it by Sunday.
Started planning 3 new projects this week. First I'm hoping to get a show put together for Fall with all new work and hopefully a solid theme this time. Second, I'm working with a web designer on redoing my website with some nicer gallery tools. You can find Joe at www.signetimagecrafters.com. Finally I'm working on a studio space project for artist in my area. Wish me luck!
