Wow. It just turned 2010. It was just ten short years ago that our good friends Rick and Julie were here celebrating the new year with us. 2010. That sounds so far into the future, but it’s here right now, right now is 2010. Amazing. Time is flying. 2009 was a nightmare for numerous friends. It was a year filled with pain and suffering and illness and stress and death and financial ruin. I don’t know how this happened, but a lot of it evaded my wife and I, knock on wood.
This new year has a lot of promise in store. An incredibly cool project has presented itself to me, and I’m jumping in without hesitation. I’m going to rock this new project, I’m primed and ready to roll. I can’t talk about anything yet, but it involves me and my artwork. I’m going to be making my artwork for one of a kind items. If it goes as well as it appears it will, I’ll be spending my days and nights making artwork.
I just invested in a computer system I’ve only dreamed of using, much less owning, for well over 10 years. It’s a quad core beast with 8 gigs of ram and a big hard drive and it’s a beautiful workhorse. I’m doing renders right now that pegs all 4 cores at 100%. This machine is running flat out, like a race car with a brick on the gas pedal. What used to take me an hour and 45 minutes on average now takes around 20 minutes to create. It’s seriously cool to be able to work on this amazing machine.
So I’m ready to rock and roll with this upcoming project. It’s going to be cool as hell to be able to do what I’ve been doing all these years for a much larger audience, an international audience at that. This is the biggest thing to happen to me to date, and I’m telling you, I can’t wait to get started. Things are still being set up, but things are falling into place nicely.
So a big Hello to 2010. Welcome, I hope you pan out to be an exceptional year for us all. We can all use a nice break right about now.
