In case you don’t want to read the whole paragraph in my last post which doesn’t really say much, just know that I’m now located at:

http://dan-clark.com

See you soon!

That’s an easy one to answer. I’m motivated by the thought of doing something new. I have no interest in mastering anything. I want to play, and experiment, and taste everything. I don’t like to be tied down to one thing. I don’t like to spend so much time on one project that I begin to resent it for taking up so much of my precious time. Things are stirring in my head again. I’ve moved, and have a larger studio room to work in. I’ve been reading lots and lots of blogs, and looking at lots and lots of pics. Ideas are swarming. Doodles have begun. Step one was to get my own domain. I’ve done that. I’ve transferred my blog over there, and will not be posting here anymore after today. I like to think that the change in location will focus my attentions that little bit that I need, but for some odd reason, I feel a sense of deja vu…lol…we’ll see what happens. I am now located on my own server, with my own domain, and total control of everything (there’s a scary thought).  Please join me at http://dan-clark.com I often times find myself amazed at my own creativity…specifically in thinking up the titles of my blogs… I hope to see you soon!

I don’t. If you have an extra invite lying around, I’ll gladly take it off your hands. I won’t beg though. Thx!

Just a quick note to let you know that I’m still here. I’ve a few more drawings, but my scanner is being pissy for some reason. Currently it’s in a “timeout” until I gather the patience to figure out what’s wrong. I also have some knitting I’ve been working on (yes, remember way back when this was pretty much a knitting blog?) that should be done really soon, as well as some small (really small) weaving.

I may be a bit scarce over the next month (there’s a surprise, right?), as I’m buying a new house (on the beach!!!) (closing on 5/11!!!), trying to sell my current one, and all the fun things that go along with all that.

The moral of today’s post: put as many comments in parentheses in as little a space as possible.

So, in addition to doing the EDM challenges, I’ve decided to (try to) start keeping a visual journal. Sometimes it’ll be more visual, sometimes more textual. Sometimes, it may not make much sense to anyone other than myself, but that’s ok Here’s the first entry.

Graphite and colored pencil on Bristol

Since the drawing class I took last semester, I’ve been doing a lot of reading about drawing. The biggest thing I’ve learned is that you really can’t learn all that much about drawing by just reading, so I’m trying to draw more often. I joined the Everyday Matters group, and am going to work my way through the weekly challenges, starting right here, at week one. Challenge 1 is to draw a shoe. This is one of my sneakers, in graphite, on Bristol paper.
