Tracey Emin is Britain’s most famous living artist. She recently sold her self-portrait for £2.2 million at an art auction in London. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding this work… “It’s not art!”, “I can make something like that every morning!”, “That’s disgusting!”, are some of the commentaries of this piece. However, I have…
My time at Minuteman Press has taught me many things about the way I work. I knew some of the things, but its helpful to put it into perspective. If I don’t get along with someone work-wise, more often than not it is them… while on a personal level I cared for my boss and…
With a move on the horizon (whether back to California or Boston….) I decided I’d take the time to take good photos of my bedroom. I think it beat the bohemian look I strove for in my studio. I love the look of this bedroom. For me, if I’m going to be spending a lot…
Saturday evening I came home from my whirlwind trip to Santa Barbara, CA for an interview at Letter Perfect & Paper Ink. The interview went really well and there was a lot of positive things from it. SO, I feel pretty good about it. The interviewer had me do a 15 min test – design…

One of my favorite country singers, Brad Paisley, has a song (Letter to Me) about wanting to write a letter to his 17 year old self. The song is ballad of what he wish he’d known at that age versus the age he is when the song was written. It gave me a prompt to…
So it’s been a week since I was asked to leave Minuteman. I am doing better than I expected and I think it’s because I’m focusing my energy on the present but also I have been getting a lot of support from my friends and family, so I’m really grateful for that. But I have…
1) The customer doesn’t care how the job is done. In a fast-paced environment the customer is the boss. In a performance review, my boss told me that while I work for him he works for the customers as the owner of the shop. If the job isn’t done right, the customer will go elsewhere….
What is a Spiritual Relationship? A spiritual relationship is one where you feel a deep, strong emotional bond to another but there may be distinct physical barriers (age, marriage, another partner, status, position of power, etc) and the emotional relationship exists to teach the other a lesson – whatever that may be.
