• First things first. I’ve posted a new wallpaper for you to check out. It’s called “Scarlet” and you’ll find it on the New Images page. I hope you like it!

• Jessie and I are finally moving out of our dinky apartment. We’ve been talking about it almost since we moved in 2 years ago. I’ve always said: “just let me do one more picture…” but that isn’t going to work any more. Besides, we’re both really tired of this place. I’m tired of looking out my office window at a featureless wall (really!). We’re both sick of the upstairs neighbors and their stereo. The list goes on and on.

  A couple of weeks ago we found our house. We made an offer, the owner accepted, and if all goes well we should be moving by the end of this month. The house is in a really quiet area and there is enough space so I might actually get some work done when Jessie is at home. There’s even a couple of extra rooms in case the stork pays us a visit 🙂

  We’re both really excited. If any of you have any good “new homeowner advice”, please feel free to send it my way. I’ll keep you posted on the move!

• Print Update: As I mentioned last time, my first shipment of test prints were somewhat damaged during shipping. My printer took it upon himself to do up another set of prints and send them out to me. These arrived last week in pretty decent shape (good enough that I’m getting one of them framed right now) but they were still not in good enough shape that I would feel comfortable selling them. The prints themselves look incredible, or at least that’s what this nice lady told me at the frame store 🙂 I’ve posted some new pictures of them if you’d like to have a look (DVD case added for scale).

  I heard that rolling up the prints damages them (by warping the paper) so I guess this means the prints will have to be shipped flat, and secured within some kind of strong material which will withstand the shipping process.

  Anyway, I’ll start selling the fine art prints as soon as I discover the best way to ship them. If you like my work then I guarantee you will love these prints. I’m pretty sure they’ll be available before the end of the summer, just in time to help me buy some furniture…
