Wow Cow Frozen Dessert |
| 3/28/2008 8:38:34 AM |
| My son had a jazz concert this week, and it's kind of a tradition around here that all the kids go out for ice cream. There's a place in our town where everyone goes. It's not in a super convenient location, but that's okay because their ice cream is so good, most people would walk barefoot on hot pavement for perhaps two miles or so to get some of... Read More |

IAM Peter Griffin |
| 3/26/2008 4:29:51 AM |
I had to post this painting I did of Peter Griffin wearing an International Association Of Machinists shirt. It's an overt expression of solidarity for the Union Workers who support the UAW's strike on American Axle. And that includes the IAM. http://www.lanrocks.biz |

Searchmarketing LLC |

| I can't say enough good stuff about the company that publishes my blog. I never expected the kind of diligent service they provide. There's one guy assigned to me. It's his job to contact me about my blog...he asks how it's going, if I have any questions, tells me my readership numbers, how long visitors linger, and how many articles they read on... Read More |

Asking Largely Enough |
| 3/25/2008 3:48:56 AM |
Do you ever wonder why it sometimes seems that all the great stuff happens to other people? Do you feel like everyone else gets huge opportunities, while you just keep plugging along at the daily grind?
There's a reason that you feel that way. And I can help you fix it.
You simply have not asked largely enough of yourself. And you have not asked... Read More |

More From Vista Print |
| 3/24/2008 3:34:45 AM |
| The good stuff just keeps coming! This week I ordered some business postcards from Vista Print. I am 100% pleased with the product they sent. It took me about 5 minutes online at their website to design my postcards from their template. The cards perfectly match my business cards. My last order included a 25% off coupon for a future order, so I was... Read More |

UAW Striking American Axle |
| 3/22/2008 10:40:55 AM |
| I will say up front that I strongly support the UAW, and their strike on American Axle. My husband and myself are both former UAW members. My husband is presently represented my the IAM.(International Association of Machinists) That being said, I hope the UAW is in this for the long haul. I think it is despicable to expect families to reduce their... Read More |

USC Trojan Homer Simpson |
| 3/21/2008 2:57:16 PM |
This is a recent commission for a client. It is a really nice painting of Homer J. Simpson as a USC Trojan, and is a one of a kind painting. Have you ever wanted a painting of a character doing what you like to do? It can be very fun! I'll be showing you more of these soon...Lin http://www.lanrocks.biz

Acrylic Paintings On Canvas Board |
| 3/20/2008 10:13:01 AM |
| You all know how I love to paint rocks. I would rather paint rocks than do almost anything else. But over the past year or so, I have come to enjoy painting on canvas boards. The ones I use are from Frederix, and come on a 3 pack. The cost, of course, varies with size. But a pack of 12" X 16" will run about $9 at most artist's supply... Read More |

Vista Print Is The way To Go! |
| 3/19/2008 3:27:25 AM |
I recently did a quick review on Vista Print's business cards...they're great quality, the company ships FAST, and the price cannot be beat. So what's next? Postcards!
Vista Print sent me my business card order with an extra bonus: 25% off my next order. So yesterday I ordered 100 postcards with my company name and my contact information. This is... Read More |

Tools For Selling Painted Rocks |
| 3/18/2008 4:16:21 AM |
I have had to invest in a few items for my business, which is an online art store, featuring my painted rocks. One of the best things I have purchased for my studio is a digital scale. I found mine at Office max, and it's made by Pelouze. It can weigh items up to 10 lbs. The cost was $99, and I have found it to be worth every cent.
This is an... Read More |

Customer Service Is A Must |
| 3/17/2008 4:44:33 AM |
There is no greater way you can honor your customers than to provide awesome customer service. I strive for that goal every day. It is a pleasure, and I take pride in it. I have worked for companies that wanted customer service to be very limited. I worked at a store where the manager actually told me we don't have time to dote on customers.
I could... Read More |

Beware Of Creek Dangers! |
| 3/16/2008 1:23:38 PM |
A few entries ago, I said I would tell you about a very scary event that occurred while I was rock hunting. This is a true story.
It was a weekday morning in late April. The winter snow of western NY had finally melted off. I knew the creeks were high, but none appeared especially dangerous to me. I know all the creeks near my home pretty well, and... Read More |

Ancient Relics Painted Rocks |
| 3/15/2008 6:51:53 AM |
We all know that rock painting has been a major part of ancient cultures. Wow, what an understatement...I have found so much inspiration for present day painted rock art by looking to the ancient.
If you go to any library, and take a look in the history and art sections, you'll find volumes on Egyptian, Mayan, Roman, Greek and countless other... Read More |

Sending Out Your Artwork |
| 3/14/2008 9:39:55 AM |
I have to take my own advice when it comes to promoting my business. So yesterday I spent the day typing letters and making sample packages to send out to gallery shops in my area. I love doing this. But it does give me a twinge in the gut when I realize I am now open for a possible rejection.
This could happen to me, and it could happen to you.... Read More |

Resign, Elliot Spitzer! |
| 3/12/2008 4:17:24 AM |
This is what I would say to Elliot Spitzer if I could speak to him today:
Resign already.
This whole situation is like finding out your pastor is an atheist, your English professor is illiterate, your dentist has a complete set of dentures, and your union president owns the company you work for.
It's all bull$?!&. Mr. Spitzer is not only a... Read More |

Gathering Rocks To Paint |
| 3/10/2008 4:20:35 AM |
 Do you obsess over your rock pile? Are you always looking for new rocks to paint? There are so many ways to get them. And almost always for free.
I did see a website this week that had river rocks for sale. Gorgeous, clean, smooth, polished by nature...and expensive. Definitely not for me!
One time, several years ago, we had what felt like weeks of... Read More |

Painting Rocks With Metallic Paint |
| 3/9/2008 3:31:06 PM |
| I have done reviews before about acrylic craft paint becauseI truly feel that liquid acrylic craft paint is perfectly suited to rock painting. It comes in a 2 oz. bottle, and is usually priced at $1.49 or less per bottle. I recommend Delta paints, since they are my favorite for smoothness, consistency and color. But Delta, as well as other brands,... Read More |
