First Post!

What better way to start my blog than with someone else's?! I'm actually posting a link to John Taylor's blog on duranduran.com, which really took the form of an interview he did with me. You might have already seen it, but I'm putting it here anyway!

This past summer as I was working on launching my business, John said that he would interview me to post up on his blog on the DD site, which I thought was really nice of him to suggest. The last time the two of us did any kind of interview together was many years back for John's website, trusttheprocess.com (TTP).

I think we were both looking forward to it as we usually have a lot of fun and laughs doing it. So we sat down a couple of weeks ago, armed with a mug of coffee each, and off we went. It was indeed fun. John also suggested I add a few photographs to go along with some of the things we talked about, you know, add some flava! The hardest part was getting photos of projects I did when I was young.

The holy grail (for me at least) was finding a photo of the clay people I made. There still must be evidence of this! Now, my parents live 2500 miles away in Ohio and they have everything. My mom has thousands of family photos stored in shoe boxes - a dozen shoe boxes. Really that would be cruel and unusual punishment to make her go through all 12 over a weekend... not even knowing if a photo actually even existed. Like Sasquatch. Well, after a few phone calls back and forth, my mom informs me that she found not a photo, but the actual clay people! Holy crap, these things are like 30 years old! She had lovingly packed them away in a box wrapped in tissue paper. There were some casualties of course over the years, heads and various appendages missing on some, odd shaped torsos on others, but there were about 8 or so that held up. I need to see them next time I am back home, I thought they were long gone. For some reason I have such a vivid childhood memory of when I created those little people, I must hold them in my hands!

Anyway, onto the blog..... interview:
