The Search For Answers

I'm going to Austin for a week to help my sister-in-law out for a bit. The memorial for Jason is on the 8th at the community clubhouse I think. So that'll give me some time away from here to think about things, seek answers, maybe reach some conclusions. Who knows, maybe even an epiphany'll hit me. I do have a couple inspired ideas to write about when I get back.

My contest winner did choose Jerry, so I'll be on the quest for the Dead albums he likes the most while I'm in Texas. I'll be able to check out Wild About Music too. They've sold so many of my pieces and I haven't even met them in person yet!

The Bono is on its way to Utah and the three for the 12 Inch show are off to Canada! The customs form was much simpler than I expected, and USPS service was cheap! No tracking, but supposedly smoother going through customs. I found another vinyl art show scanning through my blog log, this one in the lower eastside of Manhattan! They had a link to my blog and said I had influenced their decision on a theme for their upcoming show! Kinda neat, backwords searching. So, along with the Florida Music Festival, I've got a bunch to paint. I'm doing these pieces naked, not framing them, just clearcoating them. Makes for easier shipping and maybe a more dramatic art show presentation. I think for most I'll keep framing them with the album sleeves, but certainly if I don't have the sleeves or it's a double album, this way looks pretty cool.

This is sort of a rambling post about looking for stuff, so I wanted to say that I get some hits from some strange Google searches. People seem to come and go quickly, which I understand, because most of the time I haven't said too much about their search topic, but I wish you would stay. I've found some great sites and made some nice connections by accident while searching. So stick around, check out my art and maybe read a bit. I still wish I could display all my posts in chronological order, as they read maybe better as a journal, but I did put a link to my very first post over to the right. That way you can always "go back to the beginning", as Inigo said in one of my favorite movies.

So, I'm off to pack. I'll check in and respond to comments, but I probably won't post for a week. But please stay tuned! You could even subscribe!

Peace.

Opening Myself Up - Success Online

Well. Days after creating this blog, things are already rolling. I don't know if that's directly related to this blog or not, but I'm inspired. Three people have contacted me interested in more information, having found me through my MySpace, searching for "vinyl art" on google, and seeing the piece I did for a local radio station to give away at a concert. Further, a gallery is very interested in showing my work of specifically blues musicians. I just painted one of Howlin' Wolf for them yesterday. I'll let you all know when they have it for sale on their website. So stay tuned!
