I really should post something art-wise--I guess I've been preoccupied. I think we start blogs with the best of intentions, for reasons that change and shift over time. I find it hard to keep up with just my writing blog, but it would be fun to post here every now and then.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and sharing your kind words. :-)J.B.

I assume you used a straight edge to get the perfect horizontal lines of the desk. Somehow, straight edges and free flowing artistry seems incongruous.

I think it's my "reluctant look" that gives it away. I hope it conveys--"Fine! I'll push my work if I have to, but don't think I like this marketing stuff!" I am continuously torn about promoting myself, (I know it's part of the publishing gig) and I want everyone to know it!<br /><br />And, as always, thanks for sharing your funner side, too! :)J.B.

It captures your personality perfectly. <br /><br />It's possible that I am projecting what you're personality actually is and I'm off a bit, then that means that your header may be off, but only by the exact amount of my "misprojection."<br /><br />My auto-correct suggests the word misdirection instead of my made-up word misprojection. Perhaps you're intentionally presenting yourself exactly as you come off. Hmm. Great job.<br /><br />I love it. It captures your charming, artistic and funner online presence perfectly. :)<br /><br />My auto-correct says the funner is a word.
