Out With the Old

Happy New Year pilgrims! 2004 is here. I don't know about
you all, but man, I'm so happy to see '03 just get the hell
out of here. The holidays as usual for a brotha were as enjoyable
as can be. Artistically, the process I utilized last year to get
those Christmas orders in and done worked to perfection. I used
an end date for receiving submissions at November 31st, and lo and
behold, it worked. I was able to get all the holiday commissions
assignments out and completed, and they made great gifts (customer's
words for my work, not mine). Not to mention, I've begun working
on oils again. One of my favorite artists, Alex Ross who utilizes
water colors actually, has lit my fire once again in the subtle
art of using paintbrushes. Don't fret dear readers, the Fantasy
man has no thoughts of abandoning the good ol' airbrush. Just a
little venturing off to the side type of thing. So, with that in
mind, I'm reopening the studio. Come one, come all and I'll get
that work out for ya. In the meantime, I leave you with this:

The Day of Clean Slates and Fresh Starts

This week is the week you have that special day circled on the
calendar. The day of clean slates and fresh starts - January 1, 2004.
This is the week you get to tear up the old script and start a new
one if you need to. You have permission to look at your life from the
perspective of new and better possibilities and unlimited thinking
and then be empowered to "go for it". But let me give you the bad
news/good news up front.

Bad news - it takes some time and effort to
sit down and contemplate, to reflect and day dream about the life you
want. To plan and set goals takes an intentional decision.

Now The
good news - budgeting the time and energy to plan and set goals
will create insights, excitement and ultimately great results that
will have a positive impact on your life in a permanent way. This
week is the week that you get to create what the next 52 weeks and
beyond will be for you. The week to focus on your Dreams and Goals.
