Apprentice Volume 3 update!

Apprentice 3 is still on track to be completed this year. The 10th Anniversary party launch party may end up being a winter thing, due to some unavoidable consequences of surgery.

Both of these will be completed in the next 2 months.   Keep an eye out for work-in-progress updates. After that, the book will be put together and printed, and we will release more info about the party. In October, Alysia…

Timelapse-NOLA Courtyard in Casein

Timelapse-NOLA Courtyard in Casein I've been doing some small painting projects while waiting for a diagnosis on my wrist. Painting isn't as difficult as drawing for me right now. When we vacationed in New Orleans, we were upgraded to a room that opened on this fabulous courtyard.

A Real-Life Education in Protecting Your Creative Work In a Digital Age

Here's another good article from 99u. Two thoughts from me about this article:

1. You never know what's going to be popular, so take all of your work seriously.

2. Art education desperately needs to start taking law and business seriously. It never fails to amaze me that an artist can have a bachelors degree, and still not understand IP law or basic business concepts.

This isn't normal. A student taking a six month certificate class in other fields will get an overview of the basic laws and regulations of their field. Many art curricula don't include a single class.
