    I have not done any art for over a week now and I’m going a little crazy. Plus I’m surviving on about two hours sleep. No answers to any challenges this week 🙁 I’m so sad that I’ve missed them, particularly Paint Party Friday as I was looking forward to that one.

    I spent tonight tidying up my art corner in order to fit the primed boards inside the house. Since we had children and lost the two spare rooms, everything that didn’t migrate to the rubbish bin ended up out in the hobby room.

Do any of you ever encounter this problem? I…

    Just a quick call out to find out if anyone is still participating in this challenge. If you are and would like me to continue posting it, please comment to this post. I’m rather behind on the challenges myself, so I need to know if anyone still would like to keep the challenge running.

    Far, far out in space, Where stars burn and comets race, Is Planet Zog, a little place With a tiny moon keeping pace… Such is the bad piece of poetry that started the book I haven’t written about Splog and Blog.

    I have to make more of an effort to do artwork every day. I’m finding that I’m blogging every day, but not so much doing the art I want to blog about, so, uh, yeah, I need to rewire my working schedule. The Creative Every Day challenge has helped me out a lot in the…
