Someone should contact the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and tell them you found a Masterpiece of modern art. &amp;nbsp;I can't do it because I'm way too modest. &lt;br /&gt;I bet you're wondering how to meet me and purchase my fine products. &amp;nbsp;Well, that easy. &amp;nbsp;Simply follow my "Shows and Events" link on the right of this blog and you will see where I am scheduled to be and if it in your neck of the woods. &amp;nbsp;This is not a complete list. &amp;nbsp;I will update the page as I get more shows confirmed, so keep checking back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xOoHnXIO2Os/TWgkuN5gtWI/AAAAAAAAAQo/muuMQ0L7n9E/s1600/spiralzilla.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="256" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xOoHnXIO2Os/TWgkuN5gtWI/AAAAAAAAAQo/muuMQ0L7n9E/s320/spiralzilla.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;S.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19680849-2730007511568729607?l=spiraln.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spiraln.blogspot.com/feeds/2730007511568729607/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19680849&amp;postID=2730007511568729607&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19680849/posts/default/2730007511568729607'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19680849/posts/default/2730007511568729607'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spiraln.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-painting-and-stuff.html' title='New Painting and Stuff'/><author><name>Steven Leary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07666927355722354474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://www.spiraln.com/emily_steven.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xOoHnXIO2Os/TWgkuN5gtWI/AAAAAAAAAQo/muuMQ0L7n9E/s72-c/spiralzilla.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19680849.post-4722223296521112891</id><published>2011-01-16T00:01:00.022-06:00</published><updated>2011-01-16T00:01:00.251-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps'/><title type='text'>January Blog Hop</title><content type='html'>Howdy Folks.  Well its that time again for the Kraftin Kimmie blog hop and I of course, provide some of the images.  Kimmie asked me to work with the Mama duck with the baby buggy, but instead I decided to post the actual picture I took one spring of the mama duck walking to a pond with her babies. I had to stop my truck to take this picture and to keep from hitting her. I think I captured the likeness pretty well in the illustration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-g6jSXEqmOc/TTIUK2Iet1I/AAAAAAAAAPU/cmwRUgbCvFg/s1600/mama-duck2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-g6jSXEqmOc/TTIUK2Iet1I/AAAAAAAAAPU/cmwRUgbCvFg/s400/mama-duck2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now, in case you started here first here is the text for the hop:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;Today Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps is releasing their new JANUARY images!

The schedule with details is &lt;a href="http://www.spiraln.com/shows.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; as well as on the side bar on the right.  So far, all I have listed is 2010 so check back from time to time because I will add the 2011 stops as I get confirmations.  Also, there may be a December show but I haven't decided which one to do yet.  I will add that when we decide where and when.&lt;br /&gt;Hope to see ya there!&lt;br /&gt;S.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19680849-2148148935844433360?l=spiraln.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spiraln.blogspot.com/feeds/2148148935844433360/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19680849&amp;postID=2148148935844433360&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19680849/posts/default/2148148935844433360'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19680849/posts/default/2148148935844433360'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spiraln.blogspot.com/2010/10/im-hitting-road.html' title='I&apos;m Hitting The Road!'/><author><name>Steven Leary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07666927355722354474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://www.spiraln.com/emily_steven.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-g6jSXEqmOc/TKZR64HM8mI/AAAAAAAAALk/hA4Jwb4UCgw/s72-c/Art_Show_Header.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19680849.post-8316884654581924412</id><published>2010-09-12T00:01:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-09-12T00:01:00.481-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps'/><title type='text'>Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps September Release Blog Hop!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-g6jSXEqmOc/TIwsVDSUggI/AAAAAAAAALM/TO9G1w03Rpo/s1600/clown-mouse-frame.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-g6jSXEqmOc/TIwsVDSUggI/AAAAAAAAALM/TO9G1w03Rpo/s320/clown-mouse-frame.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515832383793037826" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey Folks,&lt;br /&gt;It's that time again!  Kimmie is releasing some new stamps. And of course, yours truly is providing some designs.  This month, since I can not design a card anywhere close as cool as the Krafty girls, I decided to do paint "Miles the Clown" up with acrylics.  I added the gold frame to give it that old French Clown portrait look.  Enjoy. &lt;br /&gt;If you came here first, here's the info for the Blog Hop:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF0000;"&gt;Today &lt;a href="http://www.kraftinkimmiestamps.com/"&gt;Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps&lt;/a&gt; is releasing their new FAB-U-LOUS September images!  As you’ve seen over the last few days in our Krafty Peeks,  Annie Rodrigue has created some sweet and sassy ladies this month!  There are five images in the complete set and they are Annette, Betty, Jayne, Raychel and Samantha and each one comes with it’s own sexy sentiment!!&lt;br /&gt;And Steven Leary is back with Miles the Mouse and some new friends!   This month they are sharing some sweet times at a birthday party AND getting ready for some fall fun!  You’ll get to check them all out in today’s September release day KRAFTY HOP!!&lt;br /&gt;If you want to start from the beginning, just head over to the &lt;a href="http://kraftinkimmiestamps.blogspot.com"&gt;Kraftin’ Kimmie Challenge Blog&lt;/a&gt;!

And when you’re done hoppin’, be sure to head over to the Kraftin’ Kimmie shop, because ALL the new images are NOW available!&lt;br /&gt;Also, you enjoyed the ‘Gimme Kimmie’s Kits’ so much last month, that we’re doing it again!!  For those of you who just HAVE to have all the new images, we’ve got the perfect thing for you!  It’s called the ‘Gimme Kimmies Kit’!!!

Go to her &lt;a href="http://www.kraftinkimmiestamps.com/"&gt;page&lt;/a&gt; for details. I really enjoyed designing them for you guys so I hope you like them too.  &lt;br /&gt;For this post I thought it would be fun to show the new folks to my sites an old Halloween work I did back in 2000.  I still sell prints of this one and if you're interested the price is $10 plus 5.25 for priority shipping.  It comes matted and bagged.  Email me if you would like one or wait until I put them on Etsy. :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19680849-6616376179594566848?l=spiraln.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spiraln.blogspot.com/feeds/6616376179594566848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19680849&amp;postID=6616376179594566848&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19680849/posts/default/6616376179594566848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19680849/posts/default/6616376179594566848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spiraln.blogspot.com/2010/08/kraftin-kimmie-stamps.html' title='Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps'/><author><name>Steven Leary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07666927355722354474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://www.spiraln.com/emily_steven.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-g6jSXEqmOc/TGig1Ae0mdI/AAAAAAAAAKk/CabaL4s-xzU/s72-c/halloween_cat.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19680849.post-1576129371519455381</id><published>2010-07-18T00:00:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-07-18T00:00:02.827-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps'/><title type='text'>Kraftin Kimmie July Release Blog Hop</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-g6jSXEqmOc/TEJtrsndYTI/AAAAAAAAAJM/rVgNfemi6ag/s1600/lounging_card.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 207px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-g6jSXEqmOc/TEJtrsndYTI/AAAAAAAAAJM/rVgNfemi6ag/s320/lounging_card.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495075092823892274" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's that time again for another Kraftin Kimmie stamp release!

She was tied up in an old whiskey barrel somewhere in North Dakota.  I've found her and she is recovering from her ordeal.  Here's a goofy nonsense doodle painting I did yesterday at a Starbucks with the brushes app on the itouch.  &lt;br /&gt;Also, I want to let you guys know that some my work will be offered exclusively at &lt;a href="http://www.kraftinkimmiestamps.com/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

I really enjoyed seeing the originals and it made me want to render something in pen and ink.  I use to use ink all the time and I kind of miss it, but I noticed my eyes get tired quicker now.  sigh.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what do imaginary friends do if they don't have a human to hang out with?

For the most part I had a good time.  I saw a lot of people that I haven't seen in a couple of years, and it was great seeing them all.  The weather didn't always behave, especially on Saturday, so I had some down time in my show booth and I did some sketches.  Here's one of them. Its kinda raw but I might develop it more.  I posted some more in my Deviantart gallery if you're interested.  I also would like to say that if you were in my booth this weekend, thanks so much for stopping by!  Have fun in my online galleries and I hope I will see you again in other shows.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19680849-4325181313802036596?l=spiraln.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spiraln.blogspot.com/feeds/4325181313802036596/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19680849&amp;postID=4325181313802036596&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19680849/posts/default/4325181313802036596'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19680849/posts/default/4325181313802036596'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spiraln.blogspot.com/2009/05/art-show-sketch.html' title='Art Show Sketch'/><author><name>Steven Leary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07666927355722354474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://www.spiraln.com/emily_steven.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-g6jSXEqmOc/Sh3RiK-EOWI/AAAAAAAAADw/QkVPLPQl2N4/s72-c/balloons-cat_sketch.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19680849.post-7283480695781677769</id><published>2009-05-19T16:36:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-19T16:39:06.294-05:00</updated><title type='text'>New Show This Weekend!</title><content type='html'>Hey Folks,&lt;br /&gt;If you are in the Texas Hill Country this Memorial weekend, there is an arts and craft show going on in Kerrville.

There was a strip called "The Fred Chronicles".  A warped surreal single panel cartoon starring Fred.  An Alien from Inner Space.  We stopped production in 2002 so some of you don't remember it but for those that do, here's a jolt from the past.  Drakkmar found 2 strips that were drawn and forgotten about in 2000.  He's captioned them and delivered them to me.  So here they are the never before seen: LOST CARTOONS OF THE FRED CHRONICLES!&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19680849-114358923501811135?l=spiraln.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spiraln.blogspot.com/feeds/114358923501811135/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19680849&amp;postID=114358923501811135&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19680849/posts/default/114358923501811135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19680849/posts/default/114358923501811135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spiraln.blogspot.com/2006/03/lost-freds.html' title='The Lost Freds...'/><author><name>Steven Leary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07666927355722354474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://www.spiraln.com/emily_steven.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19680849.post-114039518891247750</id><published>2006-02-19T18:13:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-02-19T18:26:28.923-06:00</updated><title type='text'>The 3 Wise Monkeys</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7152/1952/1600/3wisemonkeys.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7152/1952/320/3wisemonkeys.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mizaru, Iwazaru and Kikazaru&lt;br /&gt;The 3 wise monkeys.

I was going to draw him too but, you know, people don't want pictures of monkeys grabbing themselves.  &lt;br /&gt;I would like to suggest a 5th monkey to the collective conscience.  Bobbyzaru - The Fling No Evil Monkey.  That would be a monkey covering his butt.

But rest assured gentle viewer, I have been working on some new stuff and getting some prints developed.  Hopefully it will be done soon.  In the meantime, if you were watching me on the Deviantart site you would have seen that I have been posting some ATC's.
