Juggling Act
First, let me say that if this in any way sounds like a complaint it is not meant to be taken as such. And, please excuse the non-house post.
For the first time in my life, the demand for my art has exceeded my output. I think that I'm still in shock, but I'm struggling to catch-up. At the moment, I have four people waiting on paintings. This doesn't count the gallery that will be expecting 4-5 new pieces for the 2007 Spring Art Walk. Between the cars, chores, and finishing the Devil Queen, it has been hard to fit in everything, but I'm working hard to do so.
I've posted a new piece, a work-in-progress, and a how-to post (this is your canvas & stretcher Nightmare of Elm Street if you're interested) at The Failed Artist this week.
Most of my patrons find their way to my art through the Devil Queen, so I felt pretty sure that everyone would see this here. Please be patient with me, I should be caught-up by the end of the month.
Wish me luck.

Hey John, that's really interesting- I have a lot of friends who went to SCAD. Don't put any pressure on yourself with the paintings, you have a TON of stuff going on! Good luck.
Too much business is a good problem to have. Great stuff.
Ah, so you're a SCAD man ... guess that explains the Savannah love. :) That was my sister's dream school way back when. Instead she followed her sister's footsteps at the U of A. Roll Tide.
Why...you very talented person, you! Really, you have got to cut this out - all this multi-dimensionalism. Makes the rest of us feel insecure:-)
What *great* news.
PS That mint tea post for you coming up in a few days...promise.
Thanks everyone.
Maryam, I wouldn't feel insecure. One of my great talents in life is making myself look more knowledgeable & skilled than I really am; I just do go PR work to cover the fact that I lack enough focus to master any single skill. Having been fortunate enough to meet some amazingly talented people, I can't help but feel like the village idiot most the time. But, thank you anyway. I do love a little flattery every now and then.
See what I mean, the facade crumbles! Substitute "good" for "go" above.
So I go over to see the paintings and what do I run into but the one with the gun. And not only do I really like the painting, but the gun seems like an amazing coincidence, because when I'm not working on an old house I write mystery novels...
Anyway. Nice work, and congrats on having customers waiting for it, too!
Sara,
Thanks!
Mystery novels? Published? Would this be you? Home Repair Is Homicide
Let me know, my wife likes a good mystery.

Hi, John. I just started Houseblogging artists unite!
Congrats on the demand for your stuff.
What a great problem to have..congratulations! And don't worry about the nonhouse post. I keep an art blog and and everything else blog (contains lots of house stuff). If I had to break it down any further than that, I'd never keep up.
Yes, that's me...
Thanks.
Tex, great stuff and some great links too.
Sarah,
Pretty cool.
Thanks. At least now when I hit my thumb with a hammer I've got a place to vent about it. Excellent paint scraper, by the way.
