The Start of My Journey of Blogging

For the past few months I have been venturing into the lives of people around the world. Getting a peek at who they are and what they are doing by lurking on their blogs. What an interesting world. Particularly I read artists blogs which is what this blog will focus on.

I find myself metamophising at the age of 42. After 19 years as a Scientific Illustrator for the Department of Agriculture I may become unemployed. My children are getting older and leaving home. My wife is getting more and more involved outside of our home. I suppose it is time for me to re-invent myself and begin again pursuing the dreams I have put on hold for all of these years.

This is a step in that direction. To begin being the artist I am at heart. To follow my interests and be ME.

Hey Steve, welcome to EDM from a relative new EDMer. I too have undergone some huge life direction changes in the past couple of years which has included happily leaving about 20 yeas as an ordained minister - my spiritual path going a different direction...and I've been returning to my first love; art. Peace and good art making to you.

Welcome to EDM. I'm another newcomer as well. After 15 years as a technical writer, I have reached a point in my life where I need to go in the direction of my own dreams, to find a path that I had to abandon because well, life got in the way. Looking forward to coming back here often. :-)

Welcome to the blogosphere and to EDM.It will be great to see your art and to follow your new journey. I just started sketching a year ago and have gotten such encouragement and inspiration from the Everyday Matters group.
