I'm horrible about keeping up with this place. I always have good reasons, but the fact remains, I'm doing pretty good if I post a few times a year. This year has been no different so far.
On the upside though, all the other stuff I'm doing is going very well.
I'm handling the visual arts programs that my employer offers, continuing to refine my portfolio, recently transferred to a new department at work (and trying to transfer again), just moved, and trying to still be available for my friends and family.
On top of that, my wife and I have recently begun the process of trying for children, so here's hoping that works out well.

So anyway, if it seems like I tend to fall off the face of the Earth every now and then, don't worry, I'm still around.

...I'm probably just trying to squeeze in a nap.

Cheers,

Mike Searle

Hey everyone, I have two new t-shirt designs in the running on Threadless.com! If they get enough votes in the next week then Threadless will print them and I'll be famous! Well, maybe not famous, but they would pay me, and that's pretty much just as good.

Anyway, check the following two links, and if you like my designs sign up and go vote on them. I'd sure appreciate it if you'd share this note with your friends so they can go vote too!

So, life is always busy around here, but it's been especially busy of late. I've got two different poster projects to finish up shortly, and I'm right in the middle of coordinating an art exhibit for a group of about 100 other artists.
Suffice to say, my plate is pretty full. Nonetheless, I'm trying to make a point to complete at least one personal piece per week, even if it's simple.
Anyway, cheers to you all!

Hey all, I just noticed that my little counter thingy has an extra digit.
So, I'd just like to say thanks to all of you who've watched, commented, and critiqued.

I'm still far from the artist I want to be, but you guys give me the motivation to want to get there all the more!

...at this whole journal thing.
