News And Commentary

Collection of articles that are broadly classified as news. This may be information about my journey as an artist. It could feature events or it may be about art news in the broader sense of the word. Or it may be about changes to my website, the print on demand sites and marketplaces I use, and more.

I consider this one artist’s running commentary on his own art business and in some instances the broader world.

In a sense, this is a bit of a history category because the posts here reflect new directions that are now years past!  If you ever see a topic that you’d like to hear more about, let me know. Perhaps there’s new news to share!
