Last night, fellow artist Lydia Burris was kind enough to help me with getting some photographs of my artwork. She shoots her own work and makes it ready for print, so I knew I was in good hands. One of these days I’ll partition off this blog and render a traditional portfolio website like hers (and like I used to have).

Prior to the photo session, I spent some time at the Art Institute of Chicago for some inspiration. Even though I know that my work process is pretty sound, I always have to look to others to check myself – to make sure that I’m “doing it right”.

I am. And I need to remember that.
