These are the days of our lives



  Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later- my blazer died. Fuel Pump. Well to be honest it has 187K on it and it has been a good reliable piece of machinery, despite what others have said. So for now yours truly is on her bike, because apparently with the new economy you need to make 1800 a month to get a car loan (which is crap). But on a happier note, some tips from a friend in Australia is helping with my online marketing, and with the truck down I have had time to focus more on things around rather than my next adventure. I have had time to get rid of a bit more crap that I was holding onto and will make a few days of cleaning out hard drives of doubles, blurry and useless photographs that I have just thrown on them. Got a bit involved in the care and upkeep of the local dog park which earned me a free ride home and some new friends. I am also looking at getting my art hung up in a few local businesses to get the word out. Hopefully this will pull in a few sales to get me a new set of wheels. The being grounded part of all this is just that. I have no excuse for not getting things nailed down and rebuild new habits about organizing the studio. No more piles of receipts and gigs of reference photos that I didn't take time to file away properly. The one really bad thing about this is that no car means no shows. But honestly I did the one show I really wanted to do so I'm not out anything I committed to doing. And I have plenty of Reference pictures for more work. So here's to grounding and rethinking my habits for a better smoother way of operating.
