After six months of work I was finally able to submit my application to the Anderson Center today.

It’s a good day because I completed a goal that I set for myself, and there have been a lot of goals that I had to give up on or rethink over the past 8 years.

Now I can slow down and focus on new paintings for the next project as well as the illustrations for Dustin Hoffman’s story A Sick Child. I think I’m going to try that as a kickstarter (unless someone knows a publisher who might be interested in a black and white illustrated short story).

This is a great start to the year. I’m excited to get to work on new things and to dust off some old ideas and see what I can do with them.
