Dave's gone independent
Since art school, I’ve led a double life. By day I’ve been a web nerd & bureaucrat for a Florida water department; by night (and weekends!), an independent artist. But after 10 years, I’ve decided to move forward.
I’ve quit my safe, government job and gone independent.
It’s something I’ve had to try for a long time. To work with my own content on my own terms. To have full days to devote to making fine art, better products, independent web sites and collaborative projects with friends.
An amazing opportunity
Having time to really labor over some art is going to be really exciting and fulfilling. I like to work hard and having full control over my process, output and content is really satisfying. I’ve found some steady freelance web design work to pay the bills. The rest of my time will be spent on Resist Today and fine art. I’ve got lots of wonderful new art products ideas for wallets, purses, pillows, ties and laptop bags to name a few.
Being an artist
I’m most excited about getting focused and developing my artist’s mind. I’ve been looking back over my artwork, trying to find what’s working and what isn’t. Seeking new direction can be challenging, but I love experimentation! I have many wood panels primed and ready to be painted and screen printed on. Perhaps I’ll have something ready for show and tell in a week!
