I haven’t written a post for awhile because our family computer bit the dust with a bad logic board. A computer that looses it’s logic is no longer good for much.

I leave for NYC this thursday morning for the IAM conference with my friend Jonathan Quist. I am going because a handful of friends sent me donations so that I could pay for it. I am going because some friends were generous. I love being able to be in NYC because it is like getting a blood transfusion for my art soul. I am glad to live in MI because this is where I am from and where I belong. My tap root that feeds my art and life is here.

The IAM conference is christian at it’s core. It is a gathering of art professionals and young ones looking for good conversation and good ideas. Thank you to all those of you who help the Beerhorst family continue on in their art making life living adventure through your financial gifts. We do what we do in part because you help us. God helps us through you. Isn’t that cool?
