I've finally gotten around to updating my site. I've had some bumps in the road trying to keep up with all my artistic endeavors, but I'm doing my best to maintain things. I've taken a second job as a waiter which has worked out well. I can make money and not have to work a lot of long hours to do it. The biggest setback I've had has been my health as of late. I've been experiencing chest pains and I've gone to the emergency room twice. At first they said it was muscular, but had me do a stress test. The test showed some blockage in my chest, so they scheduled a heart cath. When they did it they found no blockage, which was a good thing, but it didn't explain what was causing the pains. The doctor now thinks it's my gall bladder. I'm meeting with the surgeon in early April, which more than likely means he'll be removing it soon after. I just want the pains to go away. On a brighter note I've had a lot of success selling my work as of late. I also joined another artist's co-op in Paducah KY. I'm thinking that things are on a definite uphill swing.
