I love the idea that you CAN do art and make money. Realistic approaches and interviews with some of my favorite artists, including Leah Piken Kolidas and Michael Nobbs.I've been recommending Lynda.com instructional vids for 10 years. And guess what? ‒ they still have the best online training, period. Is it time to learn something new? Become adept at all sorts of new media and technology.

I’m flattered twice over here: once, for you mentioning the post. But the more important one is being mentioned as a friend. I love having such awesome, talented, caring people as friends.
Thanks for making my day.
::shuffles feet:: Aw. Glad you take it as a compliment and not an impertinence. : )
This actually went up last week, at creativeencouragement.com, my abortive attempt to separate out my writing and creative talk from my technical and design talk. Which I realized was a mistake. So I’ve rolled the very few posts from there back into the messy notebook that is Wild Keys, which is why you’re just seeing now.
I was wondering – and of course, I fell off the map and didn’t see your other blog. But I would have said “Lisa, write in one place. We can sort it out – but we’d rather see you write more on one blog than write less trying to spread it out over two blogs.”
And I’m still saying it, like you’re still thinking about it. I think I need to go to bed.
Well, you probably do need to go to bed, after a long weekend-plus serving your country, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t helpful for me to hear that it’s good/okay to range over lots of topics here. So thanks for that.
