Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!!! Here's a little something something....
I thought I would put a little Holiday into my blog.....
Norman Rockwell made a certain standard of Santa in his Illustrations.....
Saturday Evening Post had a good quantity of his work but he started out by getting individuals to commission him to do Christmas Cards.....
Moral of the story....
You start out small but keep on trying ..... as long as you try and you have the drive you can accomplish anything....
Never settle...
Believe in yourself believe in your art and love the process.
Have a great Holiday....

You made a difference in my life.......
I thank you for it....
You gave me the tools to start out in life....
Mom and Dad ...its a given... You always supported me and I love you both for it!!!

Ok .....You ever need some inspiration use this song.....
If you ever need a pick me up song go to Pandora and Play
It will give you the inspiration to do your artwork and put you in a Awesome mood (sort of like you can conquer anything and do all your work you are set out to do!!!)
Its a European song and kinda of silly
But everyone needs a little silliness sometimes it motivates you to do great things...
Everyone have a wonderful day and may many good things happen for all of you!!!
