Now that Mud Nationals is over, I don't have a lot planned for the next couple months, I plan there to be art on the agenda. I think my next trip will be to Hershey, Pennsylvania for my dad's annual ARA (Ariel Rocket Artillery) Reunion in June so that's a little ways off.

So the first part of the plan is to start getting my current batch of art colored, got three pieces to ink and/or finish inking and then everything I have at the moment will just need color. I'm sure I'll probably end up with some new sketches before all that, but that's all good, I do need to keep things moving as it is anyway.

That being said I have a few other things I'd like to do before I decide to start organizing myself for commission again but I hope to be looking to open for commission in the next month or so. I'd say the first part of May if you're interested in commissioning me start being on the look out.

I still need to work out my prices and I'm doing some alterations to what paper choices I'd like to offer, thinking of going strictly to smooth Bristol paper, and just offering different sizes. However, I will need a larger scanner if I do that since the one I have currently only scans 8.5"x11" happily, 9"x12" is just a little too big for it.

I'm also still looking to introduce the Reilly's, Conall, Faelan, Makenzie, Alexander & Shelby Lynn, and properly introduce Zev, so be on the look out for them soon too!

Also on the agenda is art for family and friends. I've got some ideas for gifts for family members for later in the year, as well as some requests by family and friends. I've also been asked to see if I can do some work on what I think to be something of the Mud Mafia mascot, Skully. So you'll probably be privy to those designs sometime soon as well!

So yes, lots of art on the way! Prepare yourselves!

I'm fixin to call it a night because I do have work tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday, but the awesome news is I have Friday off! HELL YEAH 3 DAY WEEKEND AHEAD!!! I plan to utilize that time as best I can, so I plan to definitely have art to share next weekend!

I hope everyone had a good weekend and is started off on a good week!

Until next time!
