oops

I had to admit today that yes, I have a blog, but no, I don't update it regularly. I know all 2 of you readers really have missed me, but its not you I am doing this blog thing for, its me. If I'm not blogging about what I love doing than I'm probably not doing what I love. Does that make sense?

I have been swamped the past couple of weeks with work and commitments after work, traveling, and getting ready for a trip this week, so I haven't taken time to do much of anything creative, let alone blog about it.

So here's a reminder to myself to be more disciplined with the blogging, and more disciplined with being creative just for me (instead of creative just to put a pretty package on some books).

I forget sometimes that I have a fine arts degree and spent 4 years painting, drawing, and photographing so I could earn that degree. I have let my painting slide after school as work and design and attempts at a social life got in the way. On my trip to Europe in April I spent some time sketching (it helps to travel with a fellow artist) and really enjoyed it. So when i went to the beach a few weeks ago I took along my sketchbook and paints and played around a little. I am pretty rusty (and the beach is a hard subject to master) but it was fun. Some results below:
