One of the more frequent discussions at last weekend's even was the "invasion" of AI into the art marketplace.

Our first outside event of the fall and holiday season was — sadly — pretty much a non-event...

With just a few days till our next event, we learned there is a $20 entry fee for visitors.

Preparations for our next outside sales event are now in full swing!

Time for a day of paperwork and administrative stuff... because even artists have to interface with the tax people!

With our first show of the fall season less than a month away, it's time to ramp up our "preparedness" efforts!

Spending more time painting the vary TINIEST stones, because they invariably sell out at events.

Starting to build a stock of "small things" for upcoming events!

Show season is right around the corner, so it's time to get organized!

Managed to get another batch of finished work ready today... show season is around the corner!

Put the finish coat on another batch of stones... but still not a lot of motivation.

Spent a lot of time today updating my Patreon profile, in compliance with new standards.

As we pass the halfway mark of 2026, it's time to get going with creative endeavors again!

Our journey to the coast yielded an entire box of stones suitable for painting!

Next week we are finally going to take a trip out to the Pacific Coast of Washington!

While not a lot has been happening creatively, we got vendor status confirmations from 3 different outside events!

The fog season has started and I seem to have "lost" my creativity in the fog...

Taking a pause to think, based on what's happening in my OTHER Stsy store.

Sometimes it doesn't take a whole lot for "good intentions" to become derailed...

I was feeling a bit "stick" today, so I decided to abandon work at home in favor of a walk on the beach.
