Leonard BERNSTEIN

This week I finished my print of Leonard Bernstein.
It turned out quite well and the collagraph surround is very strong.
It is on my website. I tried uploading it to art.com but the site won't let me in to edit the information, which is bad considering that this weekend is the deadline for uploading images before the big transition to their new site 'Artists Rising'. I do hope their new site works better than the disasterous revamp of the art.com site.
Anyway I have uploaded it to imagekind with no trouble at all. What a difference! A great site - they are doing nearly everything right and deserve to be successful.

Back to School with Offenbach
OK the holidays are finished, back to normal. Today I started back at the Morley College print studio and produced the Offenbach print illustrated here.
I plan on continuing with the series of composers and have made a start on the next one - Leonard Bernstein, which hopefully will be ready next week.

I'm EBSQ's Featured Artist of the Month
Well 2007 has started off really well with my being EBSQ's featured artist of the month for January 07. Very flattering. An interview and some of my images are published in their monthly ezine on their site.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Best wishes for a happy and successful 2007 to all.
Today being New Year's Day I have put Johannes Strauss Jr. as Image of the week. On the radio I am listening to the Vienna New Year's Concert. This annual event is broadcast around the world to an estimated audience of 1 billion in 44 countries. It began in 1939. Predominantly music by the Strauss family, it ends with the Blue Danube and the rousing Radetszky March.
While Strauss isn't one of my favourite composers, somehow on New Year's Day with the lively spirit of the audience it takes on another dimension.
