Mad Men

My intuition is correct...It seems the 30 somethings are returning to the world of real clothing. This spells a brighter future for the men's clothing market which has had a miserable time of late. It's just a little bit of history repeating, as I remember my generation cast off conventional attire as well..only to embrace it later in life. This recession has made it necessary to keep ones job and to do so it is essential to play by the rules...no more casual anything, it's about time! Make no mistake Hollywood does not produce shows that no one will watch, " How I met your Mother" and "Mad Men" have been making waves of late, last nights Golden Globes is proof...It's back to suits, briefcases and tough negotiation's, it may by cloaked in nostalgia but none the less the message is clear, it's time to grow up. Hit the link below this is really entertaining.

Nothing suits you like a suit

Pet Portraits ....the progress

I have not posted in awhile because the pets have been keeping me busy. I must admit the artwork has been a pleasant change from the grind of retail. Spring seems to be shaping up a few design jobs have materialized and dismantling Christmas always makes January busy. I've posted a portrait that I am rather fond of, a beautiful dog and a perfect pose. It's like they always say, "Practice makes Perfect" and I think I'm getting the hang of this. I consider myself fortunate that during these tough times that I can turn to another discipline to augment my income.
