Hello all you watchin’ bubblers,

I am going to start a series of work that will go on for awhile. I have recently unearthed ( unboxed ) a couple of sketchbooks that have work in them ranging from 1991 to 1993. My age for those years ranges from 19 to 22. I have picked out the better pieces from the pack and would like to share them with you. I was surprised as I look back at them that some of them were not too bad. Of course a lot were worthless, as it should be in a sketchbook. It is interesting to see how some style, technique and language (images) are still in my work today, 18 years later…

My main reason for posting this series is because I am getting very busy with my sign shop. I started to get into the bubble when work slowed to a standstill last summer. Overall, our business was down 40% last year from the year before. As work is picking up I feel there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully for all of us. I have been a daily bubbler for awhile now (addicted I suppose) and now I need to concentrate on my job and also try to get my website finished. SamDantone.com is currently in the rough. I apologize if my thank you’s and acknowledgments are lagging and belated, but I gotta do what I gotta do.

I’ll still be here checking in daily, so please keep in contact. You are all like my family…
