Art Comin Out My Ears

So I got bit by another bug. Art this time around... Fantasy art, to be persact. I spent a good chunk of my credit card on it this last week or so. I won't say exactly how much (I tallied it up and appalled myself) but it was pretty hefty.

And I was doing so good... about not spending money, that is. But then I got my Dancing Dragon magazine, and I was a goner. See, over the last few years, I've seen all these great Art prints that I absolutely adore... and keep telling myself that I don't really need to spend that money right now. But the problem is that a LOT of it is limited edition. By time I decide I'm ready to spend some money on art... it's either out of print or rediculously expensive.

So I've been catching up. Hunting down retired Prints and checking in with all of my favorite artists (I've listed a few down the side to the right: check out Nene Thomas, Jody Bergsma and Jesse Barnes... but let's not forget Amy Brown and Ruth Thompson too), to see what they've got new before THEY retire too. It'll be much better in the future if I simply keep up with them as they come along, instead of trying to catch several year's worth all in one swell poop.

But I stopped myself yesterday. Placed my last order and made my last purchase. A lot still have to arrive in the mail, though, so I still get to have that Christmas Morning feel for another week or so to go. :) And don't worry... I'll have it all paid off in the next few months. Of course, I was planning on spending that money on the move and a car, so...

Looks like I'll be doing some more creative money juggling. But I can do it... I always manage to figure something out. :) Part of what keeps life interesting. Irresponsible, perhaps, but always interesting!
