I don't know. I'm not sure. But I think I have fallen to the depths of no fuel of creativity. My yearning for waking up to the fresh aroma of oils waiting to be thoughtfully placed on the new canvas, has fizzled. I don't hate what I do. I love it! But somewhere between trying to make the next dollar, and putting new ideas down on canvas, I have lost the urge to want to do anything. Partly I think it's because I have not had many sales, the lack of art shows, nor the prospects of new commissions. I do have work that I am struggling to get out now and it's been gruesome. And for those to whom I am doing work for, have noticed a bit of a time lag. My deepest apologies to anyone who is waiting for work from me. I am truly working on each commission that is on the table... but I'm not happy with how things are going. It has been terrible. And on the heels of a somewhat enjoyable Christmas Holiday, I should have things to cheer about. But inside, I don't. 

I know that everyone is buzzin about the election. I thought I would talk about other things to change things up a bit.

First off, my external HD may have permanently bit the dust. The sad part is that I had just bought it this past summer and put all my artwork from the past 6 years or more. If anyone has suggestions on how to pull data off of a disc hard drive, let me know. I am going to try to do what I can soon. Currently I am setting up a completely digital storage system with cd  backups.

On a lighter note, I just got back from an art show this weekend and made some much needed sales! I have one more scheduled show for this year, then it's back to painting new works of art so that I can have new stuff for next year.

I am still trying to upload images to my gallery. Since the HD mess up, I haven't anything to post. As soon as I see what I can retrieve, I will post. Some really nice pieces may have been lost forever.

This is only a stumbling block. I will not cry over the loss. It just means more work for me to get my clients satisfied.

I hope everyone is doing well. Would love to hear from my friends!

Hi to all!
Having an iPhone for the only Internet access kinda sux. I can't upload artwork much due to the data limitations. But I have upgraded this month and I am going to try to upload images that have been long awaited for! Mermen! I hope it works.

As for what I am doing these days, it's a bad time to create new art. I have hit a block for new ideas. I want to do something that will artistically turn heads. At the moment I am just printing from my originals so that I have prints to sell at art shows. There are a few shows I can attend before Christmas, then I need to create new art for the spring.

I am currently illustrating for a fantasy book. It's a slow process as I have to wait on the clien to give me the next assignment. But it will challenge my creative juices!

I hope all my friends here are doing well. Please drop a note and let me know how you are doing.  

P. s. I have some calendars that are to be mailed to some of my friends here. If you are one of them, they will be on their way soon.

If anyone wants a commission done by me, just note me. I will tell you he prices.

Thats all for now! Look for new images in the gallery soon!

I truly hate being away from here, but circumstances dictate that we must do what we must do. I don't have internet at home for now, but I do try to connect via wi fi and do what I can that way. Problem is, I can't upload any new images. So if you have been waiting to see something new, be patient. I will get something up soon.

In other news: I am working on some small projects, as well as trying to have new paintings ready for art shows. It's not been easy. I missed one of my important shows this past month, and I feel terrible about it.

For years now I have been wanting to write and illustrate a graphic novel, and I am now working on sketches for the main characters. Hopefully I will have some ready to show in coming weeks.

I did create and print a 2012 Merman calendar. Any of you who want one, please let me know. I have them priced accordingly for half the year is gone already.

For those of you who comment on my work, thanks.

For those of you who fave my work, please comment too, cuz I love to hear why you faved my particular work.

Any of my closer friends, I do thank you for your support. If you need to contact me, just note me here, and I will give you a more immediate way to keep in touch with me.

Well that's it for now. I will be back as soon as I can.

Hugs,

For those of you who celebrate the Christmas season, you are probably in the middle of buying gifts, attending parties, and just enjoying the whole meaning of the season. As for me, I am doing all of the above and more! I have been designing two stage sets as well as having a hand in constructing  them. Plus attending art shows where I sold my first ever digital print!

My mermen calendars look great! Thanks to all who gave reference photos! (there will be something in your stocking this year!) For those of you who would liked to have joined in on the fun, you can still note me for future mermen projects. I have ideas for something big next year! So submit early!

Well now it is time to say to all my friends here and in my real life, I wish you the best Christmas ever!

Hugs,
Ter
