Life is never boring for the us artist folks, especially those of us that do one-of-a-kind work. It's either creating new work or even a new line, completing a commission from the gallery, reading endless articles to try and find that next great art show, maintenance on the truck or trailer, or doing some work around our house.

The moral of today's story is to keep creating art and doing what you love!
