One of my first posts was a list of New Year’s Resolutions for 2007. I thought it’d be nice to revisit that list, and see how I did. The short answer: not so good. But, there were some partial successes, and lots of progress in areas unanticipated. So without further ado:
My Abysmal Performance in 2007

Update Sign Shop page.

Off to a lousy start. I had a few sign jobs this year, but never touched the site.

Experiment with Airbrush on vinyl, HDU carving, and gilding.

I’ve actually taken airbrushing farther than this, and I’m getting pretty good. Haven’t carved yet, but I have gilded a lily or 2.

Start a series of realistic portrait drawings.

Hah. I doubt this will ever happen.

Learn to screenprint.

Nada. I never really expected to, so I won’t count it against me.

Create a 2-color comic book.

Man. I started this, and promptly moved it into limbo.

Learn to ink.

Interestingly enough, I’ve done a little inking. Plus pinstriping, which I never anticipated doing.

Update portfolio page with fine art, flash stuff, newer design, etc.

Partially updated.

Get a nice apartment with enough room to work.

Sort of happened. Space issue is looking up for 2008.

Paint the Vespa. Go to at least one rally this summer.

No paint. Went to 2 rallies, hooray!

Exercise, eat right, blah blah blah…

You must be joking.

Take a great trip this summer.

And…no. BUT I’ll be taking my week this April, probably in Hawaii. Stay tuned for a spiffy new 2008 list!
