Photo of the day: Freeway Series
ArtBiz101 – Marketing the Product
When most folks think about the Product that they are marketing, they usually thing of tangibles. Something that you can hold and feel. For an artist, a real tangible woud be an original painting or prehaps a framed and matted photograph or print. The actual image on the print may be my own creation, or perhaps I work under contract... Continue Reading →
Viva Las Vegas
Actually this is yesterday's photo of the day, but not able to process and upload until I returned to our studio this afternoon. We did a quick sprint to Las Vegas on Thursday afternoon to help pack out and move a very good friend of ours (yes, it was 105 degrees F, Yikes), finishing late last... Continue Reading →

What I am thinking about now is the... Continue Reading →

Georgete’s Question
Preparaing Caffine (from the series; Insomnia: Hotel Noir) Earlier today, I received the following comment and question from Georgete; I like your pictures a lot.

The uncreative side of Art
Cross in Wildflowers (from the series: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) The creative side of being an artist is really great, exploring the potential of the medium and your inner thougths and then seeing the results on paper or what every you final output is. In comparison, file maintenance and making sure your documentation and back-ups are in... Continue Reading →
