Back from the blogging graveyard

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I last posted! It’s one of those things that easily gets sidelined the busier I get, and man have I been busy. Every since the uber fabulous Heather Armstrong of dooce.com fame posted the portraits I sent her of Chuck and Coco, I’ve had a steady stream of orders. Because dooce is international, I’VE gone international and have since shipped portraits to Canada, Hong Kong, London and New Zealand! I love the idea that my portraits are not only scattered all across the United States, but across the WORLD!

Needless to say, working on the commissioned portraits have taken a front seat to blogging, photo uploading and just general maintenance. I am trying to find a little balance in my business and I have decided that I need to dedicate time each week to updating my blog, sharing recent portraits that I’ve completed, keeping my facebook page more active, etc. I think the longer I go without updating, the more daunting of a task it becomes. So I’ve decided that I’m taking the pressure off and just need to get back into it. No crazy long post, no particular reason for posting, just to start sharing more images and more insight into my daily life as I continue my quest to be the most sought after pet portraiture artist IN THE WORLD!!! Wa ha ha ha ha (evil laugh).

I hope to get into the swing of things with my new, highly sophisticated scheduling system (re: blog once a week on either a Thursday or Friday morning), so that as the holidays get closer and I get much busier, it will be something I can keep up with. That way when I promise my clients that their pets’ portrait will be displayed soon, I actually WILL display it soon.

So, without further ado, I leave you with some recent images of portraits I’ve completed in the past year. Definitely only a small sampling, you can see more on my flickr page or, of course, my website image gallery.
