Yet, here I am delaying it again, because of (yes, you guessed it) the comment of a friend. The montage of the beginning is too fast, and too repetitive (it appears on every page in the site), but this time I think it is an advice that's right on. You can always revise things after you launch, but I am always of the opinion that if you can't start something off with at least some semblance of normality, then you shouldn't launch at all.
I got commissioned work today, albeit from a different source. Sometimes, you never think that your old school will ever come along for you to come in and do work for them, but it happened. The school asked that I create a mural - and of what scale! 50' x 8' or more. Acrylics, lacquer, or latex will be the order of media, but the key is to maintain something that'll last long term.
This is an ambitious project, but if it works, it will place my alma mater on the art map, perhaps even reinvigorate the school Art program. Plenty of work to be done, including meeting with the fellow guild members, and coming up with an acceptable theme and layout, but I'm confident it will. The idea of painting full time as an artist has always appealed to me, and this is exactly what I have asked God for.
So everything is hold again, until I get the website glitches fixed, until I get the Guild members to agree and meet on a concept, and proceed from point A to B with the powers at be at my old school.
Bring it On!
