So this is where I live eh?

Well, we’ve arrived safe and sound in Alberta.

We’ve packed up everything we owned, shoved it into a U-Haul and drove the 50 plus hours across the country. funnnnnnnnnn

“Why” you ask? Well that’s a good freaking question. Simply put, “Gold Rush Fever“.

Alberta supposedly has the jobs.

But no one’s been pounding down my door, begging for the skills only I possess, like I had envisioned….

So the hunt continues.

In terms of living arrangements, we’re still waiting for our suite to be finished.

Until then, we’re back to living out of boxes. Yippee.

I’ve of course made sure all my art supplies are within arms length just in case some inspirational muse decides to ambush me in a dark alley somewhere. 😉

I’ll keep you posted on life but more importantly art as it pops up.

Cheers,

A

I am free from language constrictions

which is to say, I am no longer an English Teacher but instead, a tourist once more.

Since, I’m on vacation I haven’t had much time to work on my art. We have however, been taking loads and loads of pictures. So far we’ve been to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and now we’re presently in Okinawa. You can see some of our vacation pictures and write ups of our travels by visiting my husband’s blog: “He’s just so stalkable.”

Anyway keep checking back, I promise I’ll be adding more artwork once we’re settled again. Til then, I plan on doing a whole lot of R&R 🙂

Cheers,

Well I must be doing something right!

Just thought I’d share this with my readers.

Today lol I got a C&D a Cease and Desist.

For what you might ask…well, remember the pop art piece I did of my friend Eve.

Well when I went to look at my recent comments I found this on my “about me” page:

” Dear Sir, the name arteve is copyrights by myself and at the patentamt Munich in 1999. Please sont use this name for your business because I am using this name art eve and pop art eve since the year 1998.
Sincerely eva Horstick-Schmitt germany”

I figure I’ll leave it there for posterity for awhile…it amuses me.

Anyway, apparently this person feels my descriptor of “pop art” combined with the friends name “Eve” is infringing on his/her copyright.

I’m not terribly worried since I have neither business nor art piece by that name.

However, I thought it was worth a chuckle, so I had to share.

And hey look at it this way, I’m being noticed in Munich 😛

Crazyness

Just wanted to drop everyone a quick note to say my creative energies have been re-directed as of late.

We are currently at the 4 week countdown stage.
