2019?

My goals for 2019 are to survive and keep doing art and writing.

If you scroll down far enough you can find my broken promises for 2018.

I guess life never hands you enough free time to do what you want.

But I'm just gonna keep on keepin on regardless.


P.S.  If I'm given a choice between surviving and doing art and writing, I'm gonna go with art.

What I've Been Working On

 So I found this at the side of the road last year sometime...

...And I recently started sanding it.

You see, I'm thinking of enhancing it a little, with a little woodcarving, maybe woodburn some patterns into it.  This is just a fun project I'm working on, I don't know what its for or what I'll do with it when its done.

Anyway, I still don't have nearly as much time to work on art projects as I'd like and I've got some pretty severe writers block with the story I'm working on but I won't let that stop me.

All the best,

JP

A Couple More Designs

I am now working on both Celtic designs and acanthus ornament with great simultanaiety of action.  Everything is being accomplished according to plan.

Angelic Bookends

Another addition to my magical bookshelves series.  I don't know why, but I think it would be really fun to do a series of stories about little statues that come to life and wander about on the bookshelves. :)

2018?

So apparently I did a ton of art last year.  This year I'm going to create more and better artwork.  But what does that even mean?

 Well here are the salient points:

1. My Celtic Knotwork Coloring Book has been doing really well, (thanks for buying it!), so of course I'm going to keep on coming out with coloring books.  So expect to see more coloring book pages in Celtic knotwork, acanthus ornament, and other elegant decorative styles.

2. I've been saying for years that I want to write and illustrate stories in my own medieval fantasy universe.  The stories I'm currently working on are about children who make friends with some goblin children and have lots of fun adventures even though the grown ups all want to kill each other.  So I'm sorry its taking so long, but I really think I'll be able to finish a short story or two to share with you this year.  I will upload them for your reading pleasure on this blog, and deviantart.

3. Miscellaneous artwork.  As always I will put up pictures of paintings and drawings I'm working on.  These are not always connected to a particular project but they help me grow as an artist, and hopefully you enjoy them.


4. You have a happy new year!  I'm glad that we finally finished the old year.
