Here is a bit of my computer art in the form of a new and improved “Kilika” ukulele fretboard. The last post was kind of primitive. As you can see, this one does not have the notes installed yet…..that will come in next installment. If you want a PDF of this, click here.

More on my studio project. At long last I can move in from hanging out with my guitar in the garage and stay warm in the house. The project is 99% complete, except for installing the ceramic tile window sill and hanging the curtains. I’m sure the garage was way cruel on my guitars and that they will live much healthier and happier lives inside the house now. I started on this project last January and yeah, it took me a year of an hour here or a few hours there to git er done.

There should be a few actual photos of some nooks and crannies of my cave coming down the line to you soon. Happy New Year! Welcome to 2012! I'm glad to see you!This was posted on Google+… Happy 2012 everyone! I am definitely glad to see the new year arrive, at least from an artist’s perspective. My creative side during 2011 had to again be put on ice for most of the year for reasons mostly outside my control and not to beat a dead horse, but 2010 was sidelined from a little thing called brain surgery.
