Happy New Year: Housekeeping

I've combined my blogs.
All of the posts from here: http://art-is-why.blogspot.com have been integrated into this blog.
I started "Something Different" at a time in my life when I needed just that.  It served it's purpose but now I want to simplify.
It is difficult to keep up with the constant changes in social media.
I consider this blog to be my "home base." I've been doing this for just short of 10 years.  Wowie!
I love to look back at the history of my work and the progression of my creativity that is documented here.
However, I notice that not as many artistic people exist on blogger like they used to, they've flocked to Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr, Instagram and Pinterest.  I have some of those accounts too, but I like to compartmentalize what I put out into the digital ether.

Thanks to anyone who has ever stopped by and browsed through my doodles, and extra special thanks to each and every person who has ever taken the time to make a comment.  Knowing there are like-minded folks out there who enjoy seeing what I scribble down in sketchbooks never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks one and all!
Happy 2014, may it kick 2013 in the ass.

Doodle a Day 2014 is a Go!

I will be working in Rhodia books next year.  I wrote and asked them if they would be willing to sponsor the project and look what they sent.  Woot!

I'm excited for this project.  A big thanks go out to Karen and Stephanie at Rhodia.  Check out the sites below when you have a minute:
