I had every intention of participating in the Creative Everyday Challenge for August. The theme being fire, I found it interesting that I had many opportunities this month to build a fire, sit by a fire, take countless pictures of it, an also go to a fish boil where there is a pretty huge fire on the boil over.

So I dedicate this post to fire, and the many awesome things it does. (I am aware that it also does harm too)

To focus on the good…

• S’mores
• Roasting Marshmallows or just frying them as I like them crispy
• Hanging out around a fire with friends, family and a nice cold beer
• Warmth on a cool night in the woods; or over-heating on a still hot night in the woods
• Star-gazing by the light of a fire
• Kindling
• The smell of wood burning, and all the memories that come along with it

This morning while doing my work at work I had the epiphany I was waiting for. The idea for my promo card came to me. I have been itching all day to go home and paint. Oh I have drawn several small sketches of it just so I don’t forget it. I figured I would write a post to mark this occasion as it is the first step to me actually getting real world illustration work. I will be ordering these postcards sometime this week and as soon as I receive them I will be sure to post pics.

So exssited!
