Happy New Year. My nearly 17 month old daughter is starting it out w/a cold, but she is on the mend.

The Ventura Art Walk is this weekend. Yesterday, (Saturday) I sold a lot of gift cards and prints.

My biggest priority has been my daughter, Emma. She is nearly 9 months old now and most of my time has been devoted to her. I can’t seem to remember what life was like before she was born, and now I can’t imagine life without her.

Watch this site for a lot of updates. Thanks for looking

Here’s a photo from the Artwalk a couple of weeks ago. My wife, Ionia, is sporting the baby bump (nearly 6 months) and my Bukowski Bunny is sporting the Beer Belly Bump.

So many things have happened this year which is my excuse for not blogging for the last few months. There have been some disappointments and some milestones, which make it a Good Year! So many people to thank and so many new ideas running through my head, I can’t wait for 2008!

I hope everyone reading this has a safe and fun new year celebration!

By this time next year I will be a father!

A couple of pictures from the Summer version of the Ventura Artwalk. My dear friends, Gary and Pierre Silva made their debut in Ventura at the Artwalk. My wife and I knew them when we lived in Los Angeles but we lost touch with after we moved here. Then about a year ago they contacted us and told us they had moved to Ventura too.

I had a great spot all to myself. There was tons of great feedback and a lot of nice, interesting people.
