I've been wasting my membership in such a sad manner. Been so long since posting and even longer since I did so at all frequently. Life got in the way, but no point in excuses- Mom passed away 11/15/11, and I'm finally starting to get used to my drastically altered life. Moved for the first time ever, 31 years old and owning far too much of just about everything. Left behind so much stuff, childhood possessions on up to my first bought furniture- 2 bookcases I adored but couldn't condone holding on to, they would have probably ended up kindling anyhow. What I kept was a lot, lot, lot of art and framing and photography supplies/equipment

So fellow DAers... I have missed you greatly. so much of my time has been spent in the physical world, printing and framing and trying to make a go of the crazy dream- (having art be some sort of income! any would be appreciated...) cannot believe how much capital it takes to buy bulk mats, frames, photo cards, clearbags (awesome bags to show matted art or greeting cards exceptionally well) not to mention the obvious crazy expensive papers, crazier expensive ink (which my printer loves to guzzle) and other incidentals! glad i've been buying things for a while, but the last few months have seen me spending upwards of 3k (as a low estimate)

I feel as though a massive ice cave swallowed me for months, stifling any creativity or ambition I had... Finally a breakthrough. Spent hours in a gorgeous swampy wooded area, took so many pictures I can't even guess an estimate. New things will be up soon. I promise... And my zazzle page is blossoming as well! I have some of my favorite light paintings and photos made into various merch from posters to shoes to skateboards... please check it out, I would love feedback on what I should make next!! http://www.zazzle.com/swolfy23x Anyhow, I am so glad the winter blues seem to be over and I look forward to seeing all of your spring photos!
