Christina Zeidler invited me to check out this really excellent event that Sketch is organizing. This is their third year doing this – Blundstone donates boots and artists are recruited to decorate them – an auction is held in October where boots are sold off to the highest bidder and the proceeds go to Sketch.

I have to say that when I walked into Sketch for the first time, I was so impressed by how vibrant and energetic the space was. Tons of folks making all kinds of different art. They have silkscreening, woodshop, photography and video as well as more traditional mediums like painting. You can go to their website for more information.

Support Sketch – make a donation of time, art supplies or anything else on this list

Just had a moment to put the Kaleb footage together with the original.

I just enabled advertising on my blip.tv account. Apparently this means that there might be a still or a video advertising after my video plays. Blip.tv will split the revenues from advertising 50/50 with me. I can’t help it – I’m curious to see how much we’re talking about here. Could this really be a way to make some money while doing something I already enjoy? I’d rather take money from folks who have it to give, like advertising, and I’m just gonna trust that blip.tv will match me up with good companies. I happily promote companies I like all the time for free – like blip for example…so I’m going to try this advertising out and see what shakes down. Fortunately it’s an opt-in thing, so I can always opt-out like I did when I tried the LJ sponsored level for about an hour and then decided I didn’t like how my journal page looked with ads on it.
