HELLO ALL!  Yes, I'm alive!  Yes, I am very well and hope you all are, too.

Here's what's been up:

1 - I fell in love with an amazing man in late September and have been enjoying a healthy, happy relationship when I'm not at work.

2 - I have not been enjoying some serious money problems and have had to forfeit my apartment.  I moved in with Chad in October.  

3 - I went to New York for over 9 days in November and smuggled back two pizzas and 2 dozen bagels.  It was good.

4 - I've been working more hours in one job, less at the other and the back room, which will be my art studio, is almost set up and ready for me to go.

5 - And now the holidays.

I have not forgotten about all of you, by any means.  Just life's happened when I started making plans.

How have YOU been??  
Anyway, HAPPIEST SOLSTICE, YULE, CHRISTMAS, CHANAKUH, KWANZAA, or whatever you celebrate and I look forward to getting back into the loop soon!!

Love you!
Blessed be,
Ray

This series is on my page.  

Oy!  Talk about nerves...


Love,

Hello, all!!

Sorry I haven't been in touch much.  Workin' the two jobs, getting personal stuff together, etc.  You know the drill.

Boris is turning into a brat, but I'm still in progress -- I'm looking forward to having him finished, for sure!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE 2000 VIEWS!!    

I will try to stay in touch as much as I can.  I miss ya.

Love always,
Ray

The return of BORIS!!

Stay tuned, friends...

...have so much to say, but nothing say at the same time?  

Well, I don't feel like that.  Here's what's up:

1) I'm meeting with a gallery this week in Flagstaff to make arrangements for my FIRST SHOW next year.   More details when everything's signed sealed and delivered.

2) I met an artist at my new job yesterday who was looking for someone to assist him with commissions.  He has clientelle and a great networking circle and I'm looking forward to further contact with him in the near future.  

3) The two part time jobs are working out great -- I'm working less hours and making nearly as much as I was at the last job.  The precious time between them is giving me a lot of space to work on my art career.  Extremely exciting!!  (And the bird's ecstatic his mama's home more often, too).

4) I'm single again .  My breakup with my Tyler was very peaceful, loving, and understanding.  I'll always love him, be grateful to him, and have no regrets whatsoever.  But, long distance was hurting both of us.  I wish him nothing but everything wonderful in the world.

5) You have got to check out this photo from Jeff1966 of his unexpected "houseguest"...

  

I think his official name is "Boris."  Wow!   I think I may have to ask Jeff if I can use him for a model for a painting, whaddaya think?

6) I'm very excited to announce that one of my best friends (7 years or so) is joining DA!  Her username is "TigerNinja" -- so be on the lookout for her.  Her work is innovative, creative, and very honest.  Very reflective of the remarkable woman that she is.

7) Speaking of friends, I would also like to take this time to wish love and the majick of the Muses to Jeff1966 and Arum1966 .  They've been very busy with other things in life, but perhaps they could use a loving "zap" to get them back to their amazing sludgework.  

Pay them a visit and leave the comment -- "ZAP!"  Majick of the masses does amazing things...

8) I haven't felt this good in so long .  I'm feeling everything is falling into place and I'm so glad I am who I am.  I hope you are all feeling the same.

Love you!
Ray
