NEW 2011 Abstract Art Calendar
It’s that time of year again where we look at the calendar and see it slipping away as we drink our tea and look out the window at the wind blowing, rain falling and the temperature dropping… a ghastly bit of business this time of year…
And so we turn our attention away from the misery and wonder how we can best lift our spirits. Looking to the holidays is one way. The fun times that the holidays…
2012 Art Calendars
Yeah, I know we’re all still shocked that a new year has come into being but it’s also the time to start planning that new year. So, why not start it out in a very creative way. Two NEW art calendars can make all the difference. Much better then taking two tylenol every couple of hours.
One is of very unusual creatures lingering around the pages of this monthly calendar, so that means 12 creative…

Recovering
Mostly resting.
An old friend stepped up to take me to the surgery center and back. When
we got back to my place another old friend, Anne was waiting. I was handed off to Anne and
she watched over me for the next 24 hours. The perfect person to watch me
for that time. She is so gentle and caring. Like a Mom would be. We watched
“Road to Perdition” and “The Incredibles” on DVD t…
Surgery tomorrow morning...
What can I say? If I don’t make it out of the surgery alive, it was a gas being on this site and chatting with such great artists and wonderful people. If I make it out alive and the surgery works… well, then I’ll be able to breath and smell and be normal again… I hope.
Keeping my fingers crossed that everything will be ok.
Peace,
Mike

Coming down to the wire with this project on Kickstarter and there is still a long way to go to reach the goal. If you can dish out a buck or two toward the goal I would be grateful.
