The End of Semester Woes and Some Random Babbling
I hate the end of Spring semester. All my ambition to do well just vanishes with the first slightly warm day of the year. I have about 4 more weeks left of classes. In those 4 weeks I have a presentation on working with homeless adolescents, a paper on Mozart, and a paper on utilizing behavior modification techniques on clients with schizophrenia. It doesn’t help that the winter here in Maine has been so ridiculously long and nasty this year either. Now, we’ve had a string of days with temps above 40 degrees, and I just don’t want to do anything but lay outside. I went a little psycho on one of the last remaining piles of snow in my backyard, and now it’s gone. That’s a good thing.
I’m even finding it hard to focus on building up my inventory. I think I’m going to hire a web designer to help get my site looking a little better.
The show that I’ve previously mentioned is going to be at Artascope next month. It’s not so much a “show” in the regular sense. I’m going to be the featured member for that month, and get to have my work in the gallery. But I’m calling it a show anyway, cause it’s still rather exciting for me. And there’s an opening. If you happen to be in or around Portland Maine, the opening is Saturday, May 10, during the Second Saturday Art Stroll. Stop on by, I’d love to see you
Actually, I’ve also started stewarding at the studio as well, so if you’re ever in the area, stop on by. I’m there Saturdays from 2-7pm, and often on Sundays as well.
(semi)-Grand Opening
So, per usual, I haven’t moved quite as quickly as I had originally planned, but I think I’m at a point where I can offically open up shop. My inventory is still very much on the slim side, but that’s partially due to a show I have coming up, that I’m also trying to build up stock for. If you’d like to check out what I have so far, point yourself over to:

I welcome any and all feedback, positive or negative. And I would like to put out a question to all of you. In terms of my site, I’ve been wondering if I should keep my blog on the main domain and the shop separate, or have the shop on the main domain and the blog separate. In other words, there would be one of two scenarios:
1. http://dan-clark.com points to this blog, and http://dan-clark.com/shop points to the shop (this is how it’s currently set up)
2. http://dan-clark.com points to the shop and http://dan-clark.com/blog points to the blog
I realize that there really isn’t that much difference, but I’m trying to get a feel for what people think makes more sense. Please leave a comment, or contact me with your opinion, if you have one.
Coming soon…
…real soon, if I can get off my butt and get to work. My new shop will be opening up right here! Well, not RIGHT here. More specifically at a subdomain of this blog. I’m currently in the process of fine-tuning all the gazillions of settings in my cart software, and will then be moving my items from my Etsy shop to my own shop. Once that happens, I’ll be good to go, and I’ll provide you all with the magic link 
Stay tuned…
