Hope everyone is having a great start to 2009! Mine has been filled with changes. Alot of stuff going on that isn’t necessarily art/design/business related. One thing that has been floating through my head quite a bit is going back to school to get my masters. I am not sure that this degree of education is needed for what I want to do or where I see myself going. It is alot of work and I am a s.ingle mama, so we will see. In other news, it looks like I will be having surgery on my elbow. My right elbow. I am right handed and I depend on my hands for my livelyhood. So this isn’t exactly something I am excited about. The problem lies in my tendon - I have tennis elbow. Tendonitis. I’ve been doing physical therapy, acupuncture, cortisone shot, wearing braces, rest, stretching - nothing has helped. I am going to see another dr. today for a second opinion. So, we will see what comes of this appointment. Overall, I am leaning towards having the surgery. I feel like being out of commission for two months or so is worth having this problem taken care of. It’s very painful and makes everything difficult. Oddly enough, it doesn’t actually bother me when I am typing or working on the computer - but it gets really bad after.
So I would love to hear anyone’s opinions about the surgery. If you have had it or if you know someone else that has had it.
I have a lot of things I need/want to get done before the surgery. This includes, wrapping up some albums that are in limbo, finishing up some artwork, updating my shop, deciding whether or not to apply to school for the fall, and tying up general loose ends.
Whew. Wish me luck!
And just because blog posts are always more fun with pictures, here ya go:

I live in the midwest and yesterday it started snowing like crazy! My love affair with snow is really limited. I usually think it’s so pretty and great for about the first week. Then it becomes a pain in the ass. Especially when you have to run errands with a 22 month old! Or it takes 2 hours to shovel out your car.
Although as much as I do complain about the snow, I have to admit that it wouldn’t really feel like the Christmas season without it. So in honor of this crazy white stuff, you can receive 10% off anything in my etsy store. This is limited to one discount per household. Just enter “snowy” in the message to seller and wait for a revised invoice.
Mixed media digital print. A combination of drawing and digital manipulation.

Just listed this yesterday in the shop.
Also, I opened up a shop at Artfire. Not sure if it’s a totally wise idea to list items in more than one place but I thought I would give it a try. The items that are crossed listed at Artfire and Etsy are open edition prints and not originals so there is no risk of running out. 
You can check out my Artfire shop here.
Happy Monday to everyone!
Very excited about this brand new print! It’s called “Only Sometimes” and it’s a combination of digital illustration and drawing. Printed on archival Somerset Velvet with archival pigment inks! Hot off the press! Or rather hot off the printer!
