Goals II

We make resolutions and goals to strive for more, right? Shoot for the moon and if you miss at least you're among the stars type thing. Well here I go again. As 2011 comes to a close and I look towards a new year and a new chance to grow to became the greatest Nemo I can be and find even greater opportunities.

As most of you know I play the game of chance and often call what we do “gambling” so I cant really plan what happens to me and my career, but I can plan on being at the right place at the right time by being everywhere all the time. So with that I lay down my 1st goal for 2012, “to finish off this tour and hit every state we can drive to”. Sounds easy enough, right? Just keep doing what we are doing and in no time we will be round the US. Although another sub-goal of this is to draw a “circlescape” of each state and a few pieces from the cities we spent more time in. Then to find a high profile show to showcase them at, which might help reach goal #3 from yesterday.

However before all that with have to tie up all the loose ends from 2011, our children’s book still has a few months of work left but we need to finish that up before we hit the road again in April (1st show is booked in Austin on the 15th and 16th). We still have a few other things we need to get into play before hitting the road but I will save them for another blog since nothing is set in stone as of yet. Not to mention building a new body of work and a back up supply before we hit the road, but we already sat down and talked about the look of our booth and talked about how we are going to hang pieces and what products we are going to have and where. All we need to do is make it happen.

As most of the things we do we plan many months ahead of time so we have had most of our 2012 planned out and even in some cases mapped out since the summer. We have a big solo show planned for our 10 year anniversary in San Antonio and even may have a show booked in 2013. Art is much like a chess game and we look ahead many moves. So lets all get to work and make this year our year!
