With the new show launch just over a month away I have finally started some new work. My day job has been getting in the way of any kind of work life balance. I am on vacation all this week and I am treating the days as if being an artist is my full time job. Up at 8 am, showered, dog fed and walked and in the studio by 9 am. Lunch around 1 or when there is a break and done by 4pm or so. I still have a few house things to attend to as well. The majority of the stress and horrendous hours are now behind me. But wait...there's more...It's...TENNIS ELBOW!! Just in time for the holidays. I had a little pain in my arm near my elbow. Off to the doctor I went, and came out with tennis elbow. I've been wearing my arm strap, most of the time, but it will take several months to heal.
Some of the sculptures are getting rather, large with one standing at almost 4 feet. There is still much work to be done and now with the "Pete Sampras" elbow, I will just need to be a little more diligent about getting into my studio. My only worry is that with the economy tanking, will there be any buyers for the new stuff. Meta tags are being added to the site as well and it will be linked to a few of my profiles as well as adding it to deviant art in the next few days.
Til later,
JP
