First Post

So, I have realized, under duress, how important it is (and will continue to be) to have some sort of web presence... and as a full fledged website is a little out of my scope right now, a blog has become increasingly attractive. This is my first one, so i will be figuring it out as i go, learning how to work with layout, design, HTML sundries, uploading images... the whole shebang.

I want a blog in order to display art work that has been cycling through, establish something of an archive of what i've done, what i am doing, and a place to write about what i hope to do in the future. Alongside with this endeavor, i hope to start an account with Etsy.com and put up work for sale. I have thought a lot about selling big works, selling pieces that were belabored and which i wouldn't want to part with without getting a large compensation for... and then i realized that it is unrealistic that i could do that where i am right now (as i am not producing work like that). I started to think about the small-works shows that my art college Montserrat College of Art , and figured that Etsy seems like the perfect place to recreate such a show which is permanently on display, accessible to a wider audience, and a way to get myself out there while i am otherwise unable to.

So, all of that being said, i hope to start scanning in work, framing work, posting it and writing about what is going on... if i can figure it out.

damn. your drawings are awesome.

and some of the commentary that goes with them is amusing. i like the one about not generally sleeping naked.
