So this last artistic year didn't go as well as planned. I had hoped to be able to create more art digitally, but that didn't happen. My only excuse is that I spent the better part of the year job searching in my free time that there was nothing left for art. However, once I found a new opportunity and got settled in I was able to start creating again. I started by doing a whole branding scheme for my oft forgotten website Romesplace.com and a new design was born. I'm pretty please with the result. Go check it out in all it's responsive goodness! I'll whole be posting those designs and logos in the next few days or so.

Next up is going to be a redesign of cogwurx.com. I really like this design, but with it's use of Flash that was pretty neat 2 years ago it's now woefully outdated and limited. I'm going to be taking some time on the rework of the site which may involve some tweaking to my CMS in the process. Not sure yet, we'll see.

Traditionally, I'm pretty limited in what I can actually do. My studio is too accessible to my toddler and I'm not comfortable with having all my oils out for her to get into. However, the thought of moving to Water mixable oil paints is rather appealing and requires a bit more chewing on to see how I can do traditional work while keeping my curious child from getting too close.

If you've made it this far, thanks for ready and would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year!

Happy holidays!
Don´t worry, 2013 is there all so fresh and new, with all those 365 days for painting ;)

btw I really like your current cogworks site, but I'm sure that if you change it, it will be for something even cooler!

Thank you, Teresa! I like my current design too, but it's time to move on from Flash. Though I don't think it will be too much different.
