Hey there! I figured seeing that I have not blogged in like
forever, I would blog. This past weekend I was part of the Inaugeral
Raku Rumble in Downtown Denison, TX. This was a fun event to be a part of, it was great to Raku with a number of clayart-making friends of mine. I even sold a few small pieces. Woohoo! For more info on this event check out:

I just sent some of my artwork with a collegue to be entered an artshow at Grayson College called
The Catshow. I entered a couple of Photoshop Manipulated Photos of cats...one with Smokey as the subject....sleeping as per usual. I posterized it and pumped up the blues and oranges and entitled it...'Ball of Fire'.
The other photo was of 2 cats that a student of mine took: the 2 cats were sleeping sort of like the Yin Yang symbol....I photoshopped it and also posterized it and pumped up the blues and oranges....looks kind of expressionistic. So this one was a team effort. The other piece I entered was...of course... a Cat head whistle. And I entitled it....you could have guessed
it....'Catcall'...Har har har!
Last week I bought Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii...it is a blast to play. Jamie is quite good at it. He also has the advantage....as he has the playstation version Guitar Hero 2 at his Mom's house. But it much fun to rock out on the guitar...brings back many fond memories of when I played in the band. Apparently they are going to come out with Drum Hero as well. NOW WE ARE TALKIN! That should be a blast....can't wait.
Jamie and Andrew are doing well in their respective schools and I get them for visitation this weekend. As usual, I look forward to having them. Well that is about all that is news in my part of the world.
This morning on NPR radio, at the end of one of the morning announcers shows; rather than saying the usual, "Have a good day". He said, "Make it a good day." That has stuck with me all day. I quite like the notion of being pro-active and Making it a good day. The choice is yours....Make it a Good Day!!!
Peace and love, Jack
