A Break from Business Cards

As I wait for my supplies to arrive (I got an email this morning they shipped!!) I thought I would work on making new business cards.  If you want people to remember you and have you paint art for them, then you must have something to leave with them.  I like to design my own, so I know what information is placed on them and where.  The problem about making your own is the headache of it.  I buy a box of 100 business cards and never seem to get that many after I print them because of printer, word processor, and user (meaning me) issues.  Hopefully, I can get some done so I can start handing them out!  Just remember to have some for people to get your name out there or to even attach to your artwork when you sell it.

I stumbled upon this article today and thought it was worth a mention:

Remodeling of Houston MFA

I am from Texas.  As most Texans say, "I am Texan first and American second".  I love Texas, and it offers so much and I miss it all the time now that I am living in Kansas.  A lot of that has to do with my family and friends are still there.  I grew up in Cypress which when I was little, was small, and downtown Cypress had a catfish farm where you could fish if you wanted.  Then they built a highway and a Walmart and the little town of Cypress was history.  They filled in that little catfish farm and stuck a Lowe's on top of it.  Every time I visit my home I do not recognize it.  Cypress used to be on the outskirts of Houston, well now it basically is Houston.  Okay now that my rant is over....lets get to the article I posted.

I grew up venturing into the grand city of Houston to shows, museums, and ball games (Go Astros!).  I still love going to the Museum of Fine Arts.  In an earlier post I shared with you what art is to me and about a painting I love so dearly in the MFA's permint collection.  You can re-read that post here:

What Art is to me

This museum has been the same since I can remember it so hearing that they are going to expand it is great news!  I love that people with a lot of money are giving it to the museum so the visitors can experience even more art!  I get my inspiration by looking at other art so the more that the city of Houston can display, the better.  So, as the article reads, plan a trip to Houston in 2019 and visit the newly renovated MFA.  

Now, back to those pesky business cards that I am determined to finish! Happy creating viewers!
