It hasn’t been 100% a vacation, but it has been a great chance to recharge. I’m officially ready to get back and kick some ass in 2012.

This has been one of my favorite songs since it first came out, and I think it’s an appropriate way to start of the new year:

These little guys came in a few weeks ago but I was holding onto them until I had photos of them ready to go up in the shop. The folks at Scoutbooks did a fantastic job printing them – there’s a sweet little wrap-around print on these and the quality is awesome.

These notebooks are just the right size to fit in your pocket or purse, have a grid interior and are sold in packs of three for just $18.00! Check them out here.

I looked back at the DNS records today and saw that I first registered eastbywest.com in January of 2002. By the end of this year, it will have been 10 years that I have hung on to it and 10 years that I’ve been meaning to sell some my artwork & illustrations online.

The roads we take in life are sometimes long and winding, but it’s nice to know that more often than not, you wind up exactly where you are meant to be.
