The Bigger, More Awesome Studio! *WOOT!*

We moved to a bigger apartment on May 26th. This place is nice despite some trouble with our promised washer and dryer not being in it and the built in TV antennas being crap. The BEST thing about it is I now have a very nice, larger studio space where I can cut mats without moving furniture. YAY! It's a good thing, too. With Apollocon coming up in a couple of weeks, I need to get off my tush tomorrow and pick up mat board and the adhesive dots I'll be using to fasten the boards to the back. I've been practicing cutting with the new mat cutter and I think I have it down again. I hadn't cut a mat since I was in college and that was with a straight edge and Exacto knife, not with a real mat cutter. So I needed to familiarize myself with it. The studio space also has a huge walk-in closet that I've filled with shelving and cabinets to hold supplies and musical instruments. My desk is kind of crammed into a corner, but I'm ok with that. LOL

Web Site Re-design

I am still in the process of slowly working on the website re-design. I won't be adding prints to the site until I can get that taken care of. I don't want to make more pages for me to convert later. I hope everyone will like the new design. I know that's way too optimistic, though. Someone will always complain about the font size or the colors. LOL That's just life. I don't expect to get a great deal of work done on this until after Apollocon is over. Then I'll be dedicating more time to it instead of matting and arting like a mad woman.

Speaking of Arting Like a Mad Woman....

Last Sunday I managed to crank out four new ACEO pieces before my muse claimed exhaustion and fled in terror. They are shown below. Working on those got my patron/best friend ordering a magnifier for me so I don't strain my eyes. LOL


 "Stormfront"

"Pretty, Mama!"

"Draconis Versicoloris Superioris"

"A Dance in the Moonlight"
 

I'm hoping to get some more art done this weekend, but my dance card is awfully full.  I have work, a birthday party, a Wal-Mart run and laundry already  lined up , PLUS all the running around trying to find mat boards that are the right colors and aren't so mangled as to not be worth buying. So, we'll see how it goes....
