So,

In an attempt to become an artist worthy of some kind of merit, I am ‘going pro’ by starting this blog/365 project/portfolio site, replacing my highly neglected previous portfolio site.

I spend a lot of time in my line of work lecturing others on how to prepare and present themselves as an artist worthy of noting, to the local and national public… starting off in our slowly burgeoning  Art Tourist Destination called Lancaster, Pennsylvania.   While offering advice to the young folk about the importance and the joys of old school networking via business cards and face to face meetings, personal portfolio sites, and concrete representations and fully layered multi-faceted ideas , my own personal exploits have withered away along with the motivation to produce anything further.  So, in an effort to discontinue my hypocrisy, I have decided to re-up on my own personal ‘swoosh’, and get some work out there again because as I have said before (many times in fact): as much as we may think we make Art just for ourselves, there is no such thing as private art. Even if eventually it is burned or destroyed, the pure act of conceiving of the original idea and bringing it to fruition is an exploit not done without purpose; and the act of destroying the work is futile action if not for someone to have noticed, even if it is only for the faint smell of smoke in the air.  Making Art is not a solitary experience.

So, I have some catching up to do but in order to not bombard y’all at once, lets take it slow…you will get to know me and my work, slowly but surely…
