Graduation has come and passed, and I’m finally a free-in-the-wind, new grown-up.  It’s very strange having only unknown to look forward to, but not at all in a bad way.  It’s refreshing to know I have (at least semi-)control over everything to come!  And it’s exciting to start off on a new adventure.

As it turns out (unsurprisingly), the plan to spend the summer at Jessica’s parents’ condo on Cape Cod was an excellent idea.  A mini-vacation at the beach and a summer job at a local gallery/gift-shop is a nice way to divide school from my future life.  And a good way to start up saving money for the eventual relocation and PRINTSHOP/PRESS BUILDING.

The goal is still to have our own shop.  I feel like that’s a good goal.  Jessica & I would have a good shop together, one that puts out commercial work, collaborative printmaking work, and offers local classes.  Or that’s the dream anyways.

So anyways, I’ve finally revamped the site.  Still need to finish testing it in IE (eakk), but for the most part it seems like it’ll be OK.  Then I’m gonna attempt to keep up with this blog better, and maybe update the ‘store’ section to include Paypal sales in addition to Etsy links.  Also, more watercolor chickens and other animals/birds to come, I promise!

Like Zac & Vanessa said famously, “It’s the start of something new!”
