For about a year and a half I have been maintaining a tribute blog to my dog, Pappy. Weird. Yes, thanks, I know. It's been a fantastic creative outlet from the standpoint of getting me in in a routine of writing, creating images, and even making movies. In fact, it's even drawn me out of the habit of painting and making art regularly. For that I also have to credit Pappy, because he hates to go down in the basement where I work.
I'm fast approaching early retirement from a regular job, and one of the things I always had in mind for that part of my life was to start making art full time. My house is already full to overflowing with my paintings, so I also have the idea that I'd like to pay a few bills by selling my artwork. Preferably not at flea markets. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
So what does a guy who wants to kick start his artistic production do to focus his efforts? What does he do when he finds himself distracted by an obsession with blogging and the internet? Well, heck, why not start a blog about doing art? Hopefully this blog will help keep me on track with producing art, figuring out how to market it, and discovering what I want to do with the rest of my life.
