Ack - I am such a slacker. Last night I was so preoccupied trying to learn Photoshop in an hour that I forgot about my blog. Sorry! I'm at work, so no porn available.

I got roped into designing a logo for my artist group, Tangerine Arts. They forgot to give me a deadline until it was about a week away. Hate that. Anyway, I pumped out 2 versions, got them semi-cleaned up in Photoshop, and sent them out for approval. I know Photoshop is nothing for most of y'all but I find it baffling. Of course, I have no book, except for version 7, and I have version 6. And that book is very very thick. I guess when I come back from vacation next week I'll see about half.comming a version 6 bible of some sort.

The logo is for our impending website, which I will link for you when it is live. I have had many technical difficulties around getting materials ready for this. Fortunately, I am not actually webmistressing (thank GAWD).

One of my main beefs in life is the necessity of the artist resume. I was forced to make one for this. I am an art idealist - I want the art to be judged/appreciated/hated/loved on its own merits, and the idea of someone's opinion of my art being skewed by how much education I have, or how many shows I have been in, is repellent. I have a similar beef with the artist statement, but I have kind of learned to deal, especially since Jeff Koontz made the artist statement an art form unto itself.

Okay, rant complete.

Congratulations to Josh and Christie!
