I don't know if you remember the twelve shadowboxes I posted a while ago, but I finally found a place for them. It wasn't easy. I tried several galleries and coffee shops around the town. Many required a monthly membership fee (there was no way I could do a one-time showing), wouldn't have any space for a while (the airport), or didn't respond at all. But I did manage to find this cool little place called Domino in Manitou Springs. It's a tiny place but I like the neighborhood and a lot of the art showing. The shadowboxes should be up the first Friday of October, but if you're in the area you should definitely check this place out.

On a personal note, I havn't posted a new blog in an ages because I've been working two jobs. One is still the framing store and then I've picked up a seasonal job as a cashier at Home Depot. Luckily, the two are really close...like...to the point where I could walk from one to the other in five minutes. The framing job is still my favorite: it's in my field, the work is pretty laid back but usually interesting, I get to see artwork people bring in, and I like the people working there.
Home Depot is just really stressful. The store is enormous and there are so many things to remember. I'm only a cashier, but I'm the first person people see when they come in so I get a lot of angry people returning things (which I'm not authorized to do; I have to send them elsewhere) or asking my advice on what weed killer or screws to use. Most of the customers are decent people, but I've had a few try to steal things by hiding them in other products, give me hell because their card is declined, or bitch about prices and lay down their entire political and economic theory on me. That's a whole 'nother blog, though.
I'm still writing and cranking out some art, just not at the pace I'd like to be. I dunno when my next post will be but I'll try and keep you up to date.
