What can I say, keeping up with blogs is not my strong point but I'm trying to be better at it. As usual, its been a rollercoaster year so far. Got into shows I wasn't planning on as well as getting rejected or waitlisted by shows that were in the past a sure bet. I guess that’s just how life works though, it keeps you on your toes.
My health has a way of continually creeping up and biting me on the back side and all I can do is bite back! My wonderful wife took it upon herself to get me a gym membership so as to work a bit harder on keeping myself healthy and I am doing my best to use it as much as possible.
We were asked to attend the New Mexico Arts and Crafts Fair this year and had a pleasant trip overall compared to the same time last year (re-read the blog to refresh your memory if needed). We were however rejected from the Las Cruces Art Fest for the second time in a row and have decided to spend our hard earned money on jury fees elsewhere this coming year. If they don’t want us, we will go where they do!
The big surprise for me was the acceptance letter to the Weems Art Fest in November up in Albuquerque again. A prestigious event, voted best in the state and has high ratings among the nation. I'm both flattered and well, a bit scared but in truth it will be a great adventure no less!
So far I have survived a snake attack, a flash flood, a complete septic failure and replacement, health issues, smoking sanders, and all Mocha and Olivander can throw at me, Mocha at my drawing desk and Olivander everywhere else. I am already prepping for the Weems show and also for La Casa which I don’t know if we are in or not yet.
OOH Yeah and we got waitlisted to Las Artistas this year I was a bit shocked with that one especially after sticking with them through the ice storm last year, well I guess I'm taking that a little personal and sometimes forget its just business.
Oh well, I'll keep swinging and we have our sights set on the Indian market in Denver possibly in the next year also Anglefire and Santa Fe, so yeah I'm not out yet not by a long shot!
