THANK YOU!!!

I wanted to take this time and day (it's about 12:05am - July 19, 2009) to THANK my "friends and followers" of my blog and my Etsy shop! As an artist, it's a great thing to be able to express feelings and emotion in art...however it's a true beautiful thing when you have friends that appreciate that expression and those feelings. I've never felt very good about "putting a price" on something I love so much. As a young boy I remember my friends wanting me to draw this, and draw that. I've had friends over the years telling me..."hey Roger, I still have that peice of desk you drew on in school"!! Ha,ha!! And that's a true story!! It's always been difficult for me to make money off of my work only because it feels like as an artist you're selling yourself! In essence, I guess artists really do that...but the concept is more along the line of allowing people (friends and family) to share in the moment. To share what thoughts run through our minds. It's very pleasing to know that there are people out there that do appreciate art...that understand they're not just purchasing art though...but they're buying into an experience! An acceptance of an offering that you can't get any where else. From anyone else. I thank all of you for sharing in this part of my life. I'm very happy you enjoy and are pleased with what you see...and I am THANKFUL...extremely thankful, for all of YOU! Roger Casanova
