Networking...........

Good Morrow;
Behold another sun filled outside day.. Last night my partner and I moved the Outsider Vending Machines to their new location the studio..I have to pinch myself at moments to know that this is real(happy dance).

Above is a pic of three laptops there was one more laptop but that was being used elsewhere in the house. It was all technology on deck when our friends were here, but the neat thing that came out of it was the networking we did among ourselves face to face and through the computers sharing resources,computer skills& upgrades it rocked and naturally my head came away with loads of new ideas.

I am grateful now that my laptop and house is all wireless and i can be on the go (Thank -You Kathy &Hans)

Computers are only a part of the networking process being body present is very important also. Artists find the balance between the two and for me having a studio outside of home allows access in diverse ways to the outside world.

Well People i am going out into the day!!!

May the creative force be with you......

Unlocking Potential...............

Hail Art Beings;
I send u warm blessings from Outsider Central...Its been a busy time full of frolic and work.Dear Friends from Calgary were hanging out here at Outsider for the past week and sadly they are winding their way back home today. Cathy and Bella the Mother/Daughter creative duo are big supporters and contributors of Outsider.
The time spent together was wonderful brainstorming and bouncing ideas around, my head runneth over but i feel so creatively filled up.

Today I picked up keys to the studio YAHOO and Saturday morning is moving time.. The schedule for the studio is posted and i invite u to come on down and partake of an Art Party.

I am unlocking my potential by stepping out and embracing my dream of having a studio again its been around 4 years in making do working with limited space, but its time as Outsider has truly been a wonderful teacher pushing,encouraging,growing my potential. I tell ya its all good!!!

Ok moving right along with the above pics..Kathy bought some new coffee condoms( these are fluff free for u men out there) to put in the machines,she like alot of u does not enjoy pic taking of themselves.
Bella is working hard on the darn it dolls above while hanging out.

K time to sign off and say so long farewell.

Please stay tuned as posts will be updated frequently over the next little bit as transitions take place.
