This fine fellow was spotted along a gravel road in Oskaloosa, Kansas on Friday. Luckily I had my camera with me. It set the weekend off to a great start.. after having finished my 2012 taxes which was not such a high moment. So, pardon me for being blog-absent as I tried to wrap my brain around all things IRS and such this past week. “Wrap my brain” equals “warp my brain” but at least they’re finally done (I’m the queen of filing extensions). I’ve got lots of works in progress and trying to have a few new ones for Final Friday coming up at Love Garden Sounds in Lawrence. I’ll be exhibiting and Maria The Mexican will be performing for their release of their new CD which I did the cover art for. I’m also gearing up for the Maple Leaf Festival in Baldwin City this weekend where I’ll be debuting a few new little items derived from my artwork including earrings and pendants (which can also be used for keychains).. I didn’t make new buttons and magnets this year — I’m trying some new fresh things. I’ve also got two new coffee mugs being printed right now, so I’ll probably have those available at the beginning of November. Lots going on.. and I should be working as I type. Til next time..
