I have taken a bit of a hiatus because, anytime you start an endeavor that might take a whole lot of your time you have to make sure that it will not be hurting those around you. I really love my family very much my son and wife are the most important people to me next to Christ.

So I have been starting a new day job and really just reveling in the need to not be pulled so many directions. This how ever has opened up a chance to do some recreational art and here is a finished piece.

I really like this one, I have had the canvas with pages of the bible stuck to it for some time now and really did not know what I wanted to do with it. So I eventually just put my pencil to the canvas drew up this and painted it. Here are a few detail shots.

I do hope you enjoy this one it will be hanging above the head of me and my wife’s bed.

P.S. you can look forward to a new post soon. Also starting a busness is hard work maybe not best to do while starting a new job getting ready to move and raising a child.

I would like to start this week by plugging the wonderfull people who provide cost effective webhosting.

Utopian.net

They are great for the person who is creatively exploding but technically challenged even if you are not challenged then they are still great to use.

Brianna and Josh are the co-founders of utopian and really good people to know so check them out.

Also I started a face book group called Lampstand Creatives. so go and join up.

So I have sat down to write about viral marketing not more than 5 times only to realize that I have budgeted way to little time to cover the subject. So here we go about a project that I added kind of under the radar.

This is Sheila’s Soul Sisters T-shirts. It is a group of women who have gathered around a cancer victim named you guessed it Sheila. Sheila is a fine women that has fought cancer for some time, I am told that she is always in high spirits and helps coordinate the group. They go to several cancer walks here in my corner of east Texas. The women are by majority school teachers. I deeply respect these women as they walk to support there friend and show there support financially for a cure. I hope that your life has not been touched by cancer but if it has then I pray that instead of becoming bitter and week of spirit you would become a strong voice for prevention, cure & comfort.

I would like to take this Friday to mention a fantastic website. Illustration Friday is a forum with a weekly challenge that I am going to start trying to be involved in. They give you a single word and then you illustrate it and upload it to there site.

Browse the site and read the articles and interviews it is a wonderful place with an excellent community of artists. You also might see some failure faces there.
