Art has been taking a bit of a backseat to the business of art, and the business of living. My oldest daughter just started pre-school, wedding season has hit big-time (meaning more hours at the dayjob), and preparing for WorldCon is driving me nuts. Amidst all this, I finished two new pieces (debuting at WorldCon), started two more encaustics riffing off the original material that inspired Happy Pill, did one shoot, and scheduled three others in the next two weeks (mostly headshots, but one is a high-fashion style model portfolio shoot, which will probably provide some material for subverting into sf; that’s what Dreaming of Home came from, when Anna and I were trying to channel Alexander McQueen with tin foil and saran wrap.) Since almost all my art time, whether it be shooting, photoshopping, or painting, comes on Saturday afternoons, let’s just say the schedule is really way too packed.

And I’ve also figured out that the new web design for Jeliza.net is broken, so that must be fixed to something easier to navigate. Preferably before the hundreds of fen (and art directors!) who will might up my business card at Worldcon get there. And I’m terribly afraid this means finally learning CSS.
