Putrid
Trying to teach grids to the graphic design students. I'm not sure why everybody wants to complicate things. A simple layout with white space works great.

Lost and Found
Went running this morning and found two purses and the stuff that was inside scattered through a corn field just off the side of the road. I mean, driver's licenses, social security cards, credit cards, whole wallets. Everything that would be in a purse except for the money. Had to call the state cops, and found out the purses had been stolen a few days ago. I didn't turn things in for any kind of reward or anything, but a little more gratitude (like a "thanks") would have been reward enough for me.
A note to all you future wallet losers:
An unprompted "Thank you" goes a long way.

Up too long
Don't know if this had anything to do with the wine we had last night, but I woke up at 3 am and couldn't get back to sleep. Once that happens, then I'm up all day until it's time for bed that night. Finally made it there by 10.

Merlot
Finally figured out tonight that
I don't like Merlot.
I'm not a big wine fan as it is,
but the faces I made tonight
kind of cemented the Merlot
thing for me.
Give me Mountain Dew any day.

High School Class Reunion
I went this time, believe it or not.
This was our school symbol.
They have a cast metal sculpture of this flame
at the front of the building.

Spinach and feta
O.K. I know this doesn't look good, but we had pizza again tonight for dinner. This time it was spinach and feta at The Boulevard. Excellent.

Biking to Confluence
Yesterday's drawing was so sucky, I'm not even going to post it. Trust me on this one. Anyway, we went biking from Ohiopyle to Confluence today. What a beautiful day! Breakfast at Brady's (we Rotted them) and lunch at River's Edge (Rotted them too).
Here's my gloves.

Change of heart
After several let-downs in house/studio hunting, we've come to the conclusion that what we already have is pretty darn good. We've decided to convert the garage into studio space.

Ucky drawing
Not such a great drawing today, but you'll have these things. It's not really a reflection of the day, just my inability to capture it.
- Out to lunch with my kids
- Sold a couple pieces of art (yay!)
- Bought two new sketchbooks

Road trip to State College
Went to State College today to pick up two pieces I had in the Images 2007 show. One of them won the William D. Davis award in drawing (!). The winners are posted here.

Where've I Been?
So if you've checked back here at all lately, you've probably noticed I haven't been around. So true. I've been (happily) busy working on a book which I finished a couple weeks ago. Amazon has it up for preorder here. I felt like I was grinding my wheels for so long before I got that phone call. But the people at Lark Books are great to work with which made up for the lull in action. Thanks Celia and Robin! When Celia called she said, "I've been collecting your postcards." What a fantastic feeling. Anyway, here's the image from the latest postcard.

Illustration Friday: Wired
I was asked to illustrate a story about one tech's experiences with technologically-challenged people who call in for support, and this is what I came up with. He had dealt with people who thought they had to physically aim the mouse toward the screen, and in one of the calls he took, the caller's computer wasn't even plugged in.

Spammers Suck
I'm so sick of spam you have no idea. At the end of January, someone decided it would be a great idea to use my studio domain name to send out spam emails. They didn't use my actual email address, they made up their own but used my domain name for the rest. I only know this because I have my email account set up to accept anything that comes in using my domain name regardless of the rest of the address, just in case somebody types something wrong or doesn't know the exact email. So I got about 250 emails in my "IN" box being returned to "sender" that I had to sift through to find the legitimate ones. I've also gotten emails from some of the people who have received the spam telling me they didn't want me to spam them anymore. I changed some settings on my server that hopefully will fix the problem of someone else using my domain name, but it's Feb. 24 and I'm still getting the returned spam! What kind of illegitimate business would try to sell something (they were pushing Adobe software products) by spam marketing? This stuff had to be illegal.
My second gripe about spam is filters. If someone spends the time setting up their email to filter out the nasty stuff they don't want in their "IN" box, does somebody else really think that the recipient will change their minds and open the spam when the subject line uses "@#^*" in the middle of words to bypass the filters?
Am I the only one here?
