Gives me a chance to let ideas just kinda flow out, and often that will happen when I don&#8217;t have a book in front of me, and I convince myself I&#8217;ll remember what new ideas I need to convert into a paper cutting and later find that they have escaped me. I also use it a bit for journaling, so it&#8217;s nice to go back into old sketchbooks or earlier pages of my current one and see what I was thinking or dreaming up previously.<\/p>\n<p>\nI spent Saturday in local bookstores and record stores. That&#8217;s always fun.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday, I found out I&#8217;ve been accepted in the Cherry Creek Arts Festival in Denver, CO, for next summer. That was my biggest show last year, and I&#8217;m so glad (relieved!) to have gotten in again. The jury process is very competitive. I think there are over 2000 applications for 200 spots, or something like that&#8230; Anyway, I&#8217;m trying to get ahead of my own game here and work slowly and steadily. Last year I was always cramming to get work done before each show, and I never felt like I was really ready. I&#8217;m hoping to be a little less stressed about it all this year.<\/p>\n<p>\nTil next time&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent last Friday in my sketchbook which is always a nice place to be.
