Website Down

In case anyone was trying to look at my website, it is down because my server provider/host is doing some work and will be back up soon (tomorrow I hope)!

Darkover

Well, I just finished Darkover Con. In the past few years I have not done well sales wise there so I was only going to take 10 pictures...I ended up taking 18 pictures. Amazingly, this year was better than the last 3 or 4 combined. I sold 4 pictures, (Wolf Pair, Warm Wishes being one of them). So overall the art show went well and had several good artists and more art panels than in the past.
Steampunk, while not prominent in the art show, seems to be up and coming at Darkover. Last year there was a little of it in the dealers room, this year there was more and better in the dealers room, and programingg tracks! Maybe this will revitalize this convention!

Enough!

by Disturbed

(We don't want them, we want everything)
(We've chosen to want everything)

We don't want them, who want everything
We've stolen in this suffering
And we told them to want everything
But use caution in what you believe
And the haunted, deny everything
Controlling in this suffering
When they're broken, and lost everything
They're so much easier to lead

Take their hope away
Take their life away
Leave them nothing left inside

[Chorus:]
When you're own have died
When there's no more pride
When your soul is frozen
Is that enough?
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
With every moment?
Is that enough?

Without warning, we take everything
Undaunted in this suffering
The dark forces surround everything
Make it impossible to see
Take their hope away
Take their life away
Leave them nothing left inside
[Chorus]
Haven't they suffered enough now
Haven't we suffered enough now
Haven't they suffered enough, the damage more than they can bear
Haven't they suffered enough now
Haven't we suffered enough now
Haven't they suffered enough, the damage more than I can bear

Did they even have a reason why
Countless sons and daughters had to die
Can you even comprehend the pain

[Chorus]
When you're own have died
When there's no more pride (When there's no more pride)
When your soul is frozen
Is that enough? (Is that enough?)
When your heart is broken
A thousand times (A thousand times)
With every moment?
Is that enough?

My Son

I decided to scan and post a couple pictures of my son. I have not seen or heard from him in 6 years. I miss him and worry about him, allot. When he was little we called him Joey, when he got into his teens he preferred Joe. The picture on the left is him at 10 (I think, it does not say on the back so I am not completely sure). The other is him at 14 which I did write on the back of the picture, so I am sure. These just happen to be the two photos of him in my wallet.

Trapped in Illinois

We went to visit my mother in Illinois for a week and ended up stuck there for almost 2. Our trucks transmission went out and had to be rebuilt. So we had nothing to do and could not go visit anyone or see anything with no transportation. So, we just got home...Art may be posted in a few days if I have anything to post.

Burning Art

I am considering burning some of my art. I have tons of it and no one has bought it, so it is useless and worthless. I have so little space an don;t really want to pack it up and try and store it. If I could stop making the crap, it would be better, but I can't stop drawing and painting so I have piles of art just cluttering up the world. Art the no one wants is worth nothing!
