happy father's day

Here's the card I made for my dad this year. 

It was a fun, fluid piece to make.

 I love when the medium tells me what to do. In this case, it pushed me past making an 'Hallmark'-esk card which was my springboard at first (and I don't think I would have been as happy with).

I also like that my surroundings seep into what I make without my prior consent. (I was listening to synth-pop, can you tell?)

Have a good Father's Day all you online fathers! 

Don't forget to visit my dad over at http://joekorte.blogspot.com/

I've been playing with the layout here. I love the new options!
Down to business.


Duncan has a heart murmur. I am  was a bit anxious today. (I did some research on echocardiography, so now I know what to expect). I will be taking him in to see a cardiologist. He has no idea. He won't be very happy.


What no art update? Well nothing to show ahora, right NOW . . . but I am working on it. That and a personal project for a friend. Hang in there, I will try to make it worth your while!


Lastly, I know you are out there, my few readers. And it thrills me! I started doing this blog with an uncertainty that it might ever be stumbled upon in the inter-void. I think it is natural when starting something new to occasionally be a bit discouraged (as was the case for me: "ho-hum, no one wants to read that anyway. . ." etc). 
It is so pointless to get discouraged! Humanity would never have gotten out of bed in the first place if we balked at every discouragement. 

Losing confidence seems like losing your keys; you need to retrace your steps and find where you last felt confident and inspired. I urge you to fight your own self-doubts; you have everything to gain!


 Thank you readers, for visiting my little blog -- I hope you have a fantastic day!




= Duncan! Wish him luck!!
