Burger Guy-Somersault test

I'll probably eventually post this over at LindaKelen-Freelance...
I just got started here.
The computer and connection is SO slow, I didn't want to get involved in moving it now...
that will happen later...
so for all you art fans who never knew I freelanced...
now you know.

I've got to give big credit to Peter of Blogger Tips and Tricks
where I found the instructions for posting a gif animation.

This BurgerGuy is one of my "crew" who I allowed to freelance for the Weber-Stephen Product company...you know, Weber Grill?
I used to do the drawings for their Grill Out Times Newsletters for years..
point of purchase ads, product drawings...and even watercolors for their restaurant....
which I've got scans of somewhere...
AND instructions on Grill Cleaning...staring the BurgerGuy.
One day Weber decided to change direction and moved into high-tech/internet/digital photography...
but, they are happy..
and I am busy...
I definately miss it though...it was so much fun.

I use Gif Construction Set.

Milwaukee

I'm visiting friends in Milwaukee...
met Deborah Kern, owner of the Garden Room + Anaba Tea Room...
in Shorewood Wisconsin....
where I will be having a show of my artings in September of this year....
(more about that later)....

I also met with Paul Yank
with whom I may be studying/working/learning about one whopper printing press this spring....
I've never seen a press this large in an artist studio...
ever................................
(more about THIS later)......

I'm ALSO learning how to deal with a MacIntosh computer...
on a VERY snappy connection....
which makes me feel like I've temporarily left my cave....
I've updated...
FAST...OH, so fast...
my Freelance blog's posting
about the coffee labels I've drawn up for Convivio Coffee...
sold at a fine little shop in Spring Green Wisconsin.

Collagraphy

I've been working on spoons for so long and so intensely..
I needed something different..
I'm working on aluminum plates. collagraph, artist proof...self-portrait
I miss drawing...and am doing something about it.
Collagraph, artist proof...Farm on Z
Collagraph, artist proof, hand colored...Boxing in Mineral Point
My sweet etching press<-that's my press.

Since I don't have a gallery where my artings can usually be found,
I've started an Etsy Shop....LindaKelenArtings...
so, little by little there will be more and more to see there also.
