wagonized: Two years

Two years

My blog is turning 2 years old today! It will soon start speaking in sentences.
This is my 475th post, and i've chosen to put up an unfinished commissioned drawing of John Paul II that i started tonight.
This little blogging adventure has lead to far more than a few drawings on a screen -- i have met some incredibly talented people with whom i have formed friendships without ever meeting them in person. I have supplemented my income through occasional commissions (there is no better feeling than when someone "trusts" your vision... and remunerates you for it!). I have also reconnected with old friends and former students who found me on the web by simply googling my name.
THANK YOU to all the visitors who stop by Wagonized, look around, and sometimes leave a note.
I still don't know where this blog is going, and i don't intend to find out. "I aspire not to know what I am doing". I wish John Paul II had said that, as it would have matched the drawing, but Keith Jarrett did.
Cheers, everyone!
