Getting schooled, part two

First week at the day job: done! Getting used to the new routine... well, that's still a work-in-progress.

The morning routine has actually improved... The Boy now prefers to take the school bus, so he's out the door around the time TwoBoo wakes up. I get to spend a few minutes just hanging out with TwoBoo before school.

And I don't have to hunt for parking because I'm taking the bus... but it's taking some practice to find the right one.

No worries, though: My job is flexible enough for me to concentrate on next Tuesday's Artist Trust At Large presentation. (If you haven't already done so, register here.)

And today was a STUDIO DAY! Feeling like I'm on the right road.

Wake up! It's a new year!

Now that I'm (mostly) recovered from my New Year's celebrations, it's time to get crackin' on 2016. I got a little work done in the last hours of 2015...

... and I'm looking forward to sharing my progress on the Great Mystery Project (GMP) throughout the year. I'm also looking forward to more Artist Trust At Large presentations, starting with a conversation on marketing your art on January 12th (RSVP here)

and possibly a group show in Portland -- we'll see... Rest up: we've got a busy year ahead!

Artist Trust At Large: getting YOUR word out

We're going to do something different for January's Artist Trust At Large presentation: a webinar viewing party! This gathering will be laser-focused on helping artists get the word out about their work.

During the webinar, you'll learn how to create a strong online presence. You'll also get the basics of developing a social media strategy, plus tips about effective websites, courtesy of marketing consultant Kelsye Nelson. She's also an author and instructor who teaches the University of Washington's Business of Digital Publishing course. 

The webinar will be streamed live statewide. I'll host the in-person portion of the event, gathering Seattle-area artists to help them network after the webinar. Details:

Please register here, especially if the whole Marketing Thing freaks you out.  It's a gentle, FREE way to ease yourself into presenting your work online. See you soon!
