Blogging synchronicity, indeed!

I'm feeling pretty relaxed these days. I attribute this to the fact that for about a week now nothing in my house has exploded, broken, burst, or caught on fire. Being relativity clear headed again, I've been reading quite a bit, surfing the net in search of "stuff" and I am quite excited about writing something worthy of the paper it's written on. I'm also looking forward to creating some graphic design just for me. Self-expression is good for the soul.

To better facilitate this whole creative thing, I've been lately listening to jazz. It's taken me quite a few years to really appreciate this music genre. I think it must be an acquired taste, but I'm so happy I didn't just give it up.

Oddly enough, as I sat here this evening listening to Miles Davis, I came upon a superb post over at CopyBlogger entitled "Jazz and the Art of Improvisational Blogging." It is as well written as it is inspirational and I share Brain Clark's thoughts with you here.

    - Matt Holmes, The Art Guide

  • "I found Lisa Mikulski to be just the right resource at the right time: focused, professional, with a great eye for color and design, and with very fast turnaround time for getting images up on the web -- an artist's best friend and there when you need her! She's got a really good command of the two worlds we as artists now inhabit: the technical issues of cyberspace in today's market, combined with bottom line issues of artistic judgement. I highly recommend her as a great resource for web design, artistic and gallery management."
