Artist How To 2008 Goals and Looking Back at 2007

Today is December 30th and naturally I have been thinking about the activity at AHT over the past year. So here is a brief list;

A more personal thing for me, I grew my own cotton here in my home garden. I took photos along the way to document the process. ‘Will Art For Food’

Some of the AHT Goals for 2008

  • Redo site - make slicker and user friendly - definite plan by Jan 14
  • Double Advertising Budget
  • More Free Lessons and Tutorials
  • Polymer People Torso

Personal Goals for 2008

  • Run a 5k
  • Get in good enough shape to run 5k and not die
  • Spend more time doing nothing
  • Spend extra time with Hawkeye (dog)
  • Stick to a regular work schedule
  • Spend money wise
  • Be nicer to my fellow humans
  • Give more away
  • Be decisive
  • Play

So there you have it! Before we know it it will be 2008 and we will all start with a clean slate. Let’s forget all the old baggage and live the life that before we were only wishing we had.

This is it, no trial runs, no practice. So let’s make 2008 the best yet!!

AHT Creepy

OK, here is the story. I do a lot of sculpting of figures and not all of them turn out the way I want them. Usually I will sit them on a shelf and live with them a bit before I decide what I need to do to 'fix them'. Below are a few images of how I decided to 'fix' some for Halloween 2007.

This brings up the topic....

Copyright always makes folks debate. The site posted above is for sock creatures and I have heard that it is often debated as to how far this artist should go to fight for copyright of similar images.

For instance...

Is the following artist work a violation?

I have my thoughts, but I will keep them to myself. Something to make you ponder......

AHT Good News!

Good news! The latest book "Polymer People: An Artist's Method of Sculpting the Adult Head in Polymer Clay" is ready to go out into the big bad world!

http://artist-how-to.com/Preordersale.html

The first chance I get in the morning the pre-sale will no longer be affective. So if you are thinking about purchasing one do it quickly! By the end of tomorrow I will have it set up on Lulu.com to be purchased in a printed format. No printing out on your printer, just a spiral bound printed version for you to have in your hot-little-creative hands :0)-------

If you pick up the fall issue of "Polymer Cafe", be sure to look for our ad!

I am debating on which to feature next, hands or babies. If you have a preference let me know, I am leaning toward babies. But maybe they have already been done so much that having a detailed tutorial to purchase is not necessary?
--------
Don't forget our sale is still on for "Make a Profit with Your Passion: Starting a Home-Based Art Business" for $6.99 until Sept 16th.

Is a good thing to work on when doing work on computer and computer is slow. They are also portable enough I can take them with me.
