Are you a realist? If so, what kind of realist are you?
If not, what’s your angle? I’m interested.

You may recognize this as a drawing I posted last year; I’ve also taken the liberty of renaming it. (Hey it’s my picture and I can do whatever I want with it…) Really though, this was a great way for me to get the brushes out without having to think too much- just what I needed to kick off a new year.
Enjoyed the process, feel free to leave your honest opinion!
Thanks,

I posted this on words n’stuff, thought I would share it here as well. Looking for an interesting discussion!

I’ve been nominated for the Liebster Award from Scratch and Colour and Growing Up Nowhere: Stories You Will Love To Hate.
Thanks, guys! I am flattered and floored. It’s a good week for me.
According to Jamie, “liebster” is derived from a German term meaning, “a close friend.” I am told the award is given to a writer with a blog that has fewer than 200 followers.
So, I will share the love.
Here are the rules of acceptance for the award:
1. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
2. Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog or sending them a tweet.
3. Post the award on your blog.
4. Bask in the love from some of the most supportive people on the internet—other writers.
5. And best of all – have fun and spread the karma.
It seems unfair to pick only 5 for this one. Two of my top picks are named above….

7 random things about me:
1) I have 4 kids, all teenagers. Help me.
2) I am co-owner of a custom woodworking business with my wife Nikki.
3) I am a mountain biker
4) I love coffee, red wine and dark chocolate. I should live forever.
5) Oh and I like dark beer. (Especially Canadian beer, microbrewed, which I am drinking right now.)
6) I love used bookstores (and I read too)
7) I’m a sucker for a romantic movie. (But not alone- never alone…)
This arrived in the mail for me today, which is an awesome coincidence, because today is my birthday! David Castle is an artist based in Denver, Colorado. On his facebook site, (which I am a fan of) he was offering a few of these beauties, and I was lucky enough to get one! David, you are on my list!! Check out his website at http://davidcastleart.com
