Vote for me

As promised, here is the link where you can see and vote on my entry to Consumer Union's "Dangers of Debt Image Contest" on Facebook: http://apps.facebook.com/dangersofdebt/contests/76203 My entry is entitled "Credit Trap".

The Sketchbook Project

I've just gotten word that my sketchbook has been checked into the Brooklyn Art Library. My entry is one of over 10,000 which are in "The Sketchbook Project" which was organized by The Art House Co-op in Brooklyn. All the sketchbooks will be available to be viewed at the library, except when they will be on tour! They will be leaving Brooklyn to travel to cities all over the U.S. this spring. I'll be posting some of the sketches from my book, as well as tour dates, soon. Meanwhile, you can visit my page on the Art House Co-op site at: arthousecoop.com/users/jimharper3

Credit Trap

The drawing about credit cards is finished, and I've sent it off to be judged. I'll send a link where you can view it, and vote on it, in a few days.

And away we go...

So this is the standard first blog post: "This is my new blog and I don't have anything to say yet." I don't see why I should deviate from established standards.

I am working on updating my Web site (www.jimharperdesigns.com) and I've decided I'll try creating the News page on Blogger, and this is the result.

I am an artist, and right now I'm working on an drawing about credit cards. Yeah, I know. They're flat and plastic--whoopie. I think I've got some good ideas for it, we'll see how it turns out.

If you're interested in seeing some of my work in person, I have two paintings from my Flora series in The ARTS down in Corning, NY, right now, and I'm one of the artists in the Sketchbook Project 2011, put on by the Art House Co-op in Brooklyn, NY. I haven't heard that they've gotten it yet, but I know it's probably one of those thousands which are sitting in mailbags waiting to be opened.
