Going through lots of pencils on this project. #LaughFest

This is all I can show you of this exciting art project for Gilda's Club of Grand Rapids. But I am using lots of graphite. February is the 10 year mark for our local club. Help them celebrate by making a donation or buying a ticket to #LaughFest (or both) Gilda Radner's comedy including her one woman on Broadway show made a huge impact on my wit at an early age. LaughFest is a fitting celebration!

My Holiday Wish for 2011 and the decade to come.

A man once said once you begin to see your life in terms of how many summers you have left do you truly begin to understand what your time is worth.

In 2011 I am setting the bar high and with the hopes each will prevail.

I hope as you plan your days you will think more and more each year about what your legacy will be.

We all won't leave buildings that are adorned with our names but our city is changed by our action (or inaction.)

As Bjork said, "It's in our hands."

Best of wishes to all this holiday season.

Peace on Earth, Goodwill towards mankind.

How cold is it at #TanglefootStudio today? This Cold!

The winds were really kicking up so much that even the elevator was not immune.

Sometimes a day in the studio is all I need. TanglefootStudio.com (by appt. only)

But then the phone chirps to remind me that I have other things to attend to as well.

The bonus is sometimes the studio presents beauty in unexpected places by looking up, around and sometimes out.

@Pfleghaar posts his 1st Kickstarter project on line. A new chapter begins and you can be a part of it. http://kck.st/eKydx9

When Michael finishes his graduate work at Boston's AIB a whole new chapter begins and you have a chance to not only write a page of this history, but you can decide what level you want to author it.

Collectors of Pfleghaar's art may recall that about 20 years ago he did a small series of paintings created from his time spent in France.

These few but now classic pieces produced on that last trip have become some of his most sought after works by collectors and galleries.

Now we enter a new time period with new tools at our disposal as artists and the results truly do benefit the artist and the collector.

Please consider this exciting Austrian project and the opportunities that await him.

Cheers!

Tommy
