Circus vs. Cirque
Just got back from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s “Barnum 200” circus.  Spectacle overload.  Enter-chaos.  A glorious mound of amazing. We saw the show last year and this one tops it by a mile.  The theme is celebrating the 200th (actually 201st by now) birthday of P. T. Barnum, and to that end the show is built around re-imagining classic circus elements, classic acts...

New after nine years!
I’m finally linking my deviantArt account as one of my main galleries, despite having had the account open for over nine years. Why? Well, even though I created the account in June 2002, up to now I used it to comment on some friends’ work and hadn’t uploaded much more than an avatar. It’s about time to use it like it was meant to be used: as a showcase for my work. The...

Knot Asleep
Wow, after I closed the rb site I seemed to have dropped off the face of the ‘net, right? Not entirely true, but it’s an easy mistake to make. I haven’t put up any new art and only a trickle of older work has been making it into new venues. There are things that are in the works, and a few exciting things I haven’t had opportunity to post about, but pretty much nil on this...

The Bubble is Popped
As of today I’m one storefront, one art account smaller than I used to be. My choice—disagreement on how problems were handled by that site. I hoped to have a few replacements lined up, but here at least is one other: http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/dan-redding.html More prints are coming there, and more links in the near future. Also, when FAA is up-to-speed with prints...

RedBubble site shuttered
For the next couple weeks you can still see the page there, but I’ve removed the links from the blueknot.com site and you cannot buy anything there.  zazzle is still up and running and I am working on expanding the gallery there are two other sites.  Stay tuned here for more announcements.

Ahead of Schedule...
Rather than the end of June; it looks like I’ll be able to close down my redbubble store within 1-2 weeks. At that point, I still won’t have everything that was available there up at zazzle, but I’ll have a good chunk up (especially the most recent and popular prints & tees) AND I will soon be announcing galleries at two, maybe three additional sites! Stay tuned to this...

A Bubble About to Burst
I’ve come close a number of times; now the proverbial straw has been loaded onto my own hunched back. I’ve been uncomfortable with redbubble’s site management and the growing proliferation of copyright-infringing material. They also have an unusually high tolerance of hate-based work. A few years ago I tried to get them to remove what I considered to be a fiercely racist...

Two Twitter or Not Two Twitter?
If you follow me on Twitter (blueknotstudio) then Thank You! If not… would you like to? ;-) I’ve been back and forth on the issue of setting up a separate account for business and personal (as I’ve done with facebook). And this time… no. FB fans will get a more art-centric focus, but if you follow me on twitter for my art you get my ramblings too. And vice-versa. So...

Wanna try 3D for yourself?  First step is software… you won’t be doing this in MS Paint.  It can be pricey, but right now Messiah Studio is on a sale for 98% off - IF enough people are want the deal.  They’re over halfway there at the time of this writing, what have you got to lose?

Groundhog Day
See’s the shadow, six more weeks of winter.  That make sense to anybody? I figure, they’re I assuming he’s returning to his hole because he’s afraid of his shadow.  “Eek! Scary flat monster! Run back inside!” You could just as easily interpret this as “Pfft! Forget this, it’s cold! I’m goin’ back to bed…”

About "Flashback Friday"...
A word of explanation: I’ve been doing this stuff long before I “got serious” and set up this site & blog & everything else. So there’s a bit of a backlog of work that isn’t on this site. Now, I could wear myself out and get it all documented and posted and be sick of it and not want to update this site again for months. Yeah… I don’t want to do...

Site Updated!
The new BlueKnot.com is now up and running! A jumping-off point for all my art-related goodies. Any ideas on what else the site could be used for? I’ve got one other site to update; but I’m open to suggestions…
