Dog Tired

Wow. I'm really tired this morning. Getting out of bed was a struggle. I've been working like a dog lately - productive days leading into long nights. (Okay, seriously, this is not at all how MY dog "works" - I'd kill to spend my day like she does but I digress.....)

Clearly my body wants me to slow down but my brain absolutely does not. Something is pushing me and I'm not sure the reason. But I am going to go with it for now because at least I'm making art.

I just met with a friend of mine last night who knows everything there is to know about LED lighting. He's going to do some research and come up with a bad ass plan for lighting up my bike rack. This is just for me and I'm really enjoying that.

Of course, I do look at this bike rack as a potential prototype for something I could market and sell. I've already figured out how I would make it better. I just have to cost out the materials (I used all scrap metal and other materials I had on hand so I haven't spent a dime) and figure out what I would charge for it.

This is something that people at Eric's bike races might see and inquire about. I'm not really into doing stuff like this but I need to acknowledge opportunity when I see it. Hmmm. We'll see. My interests get diverted so easily.

Anyway, yesterday was probably the last day I will spend much time working in my studio for a while. I've got other things going on and I'm also leaving on the 20th for Colorado for a mini-vacation in Durango. I won't be working like A dog but more like living like My dog for a few days. That Will Be Nice.

A typical day on the "job".
