This is a little animation I shot one morning on Grace Bay, in the Turks &#38; Caicos. Grace Bay is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, and it&#8217;s [&#8230;]]]></description>

Steve Baldauf&#8217;s site uses the Chromatic theme, while the page for Antoni Kozlowski uses the Base theme. Check out the artists, and check out the themes.

This is an Excel spreadsheet that I use from year to year to keep notes on which shows I&#8217;ve applied to, and which shows I still need to do the paperwork for.

In a declining economy, my sales are trending upward (thank you!), and I&#8217;ve had better acceptance than ever at art shows.

First off, let me just say that this festival deserves its reputation as one of the top shows in the country. Spread out over four days, it is staged over five blocks in downtown Fort Worth.

It occurred to me that there are several different kinds of artwork that people gravitate towards.

I toyed with Photomatix, and the bundled plug-in with previous versions of Photoshop, but was less than impressed. However, the newest version of Adobe&#8217;s Photoshop (CS5) includes a brand-spanking new plug-in that is worth the price of the upgrade: the [&#8230;]]]></description>
