first post of 2009!

I thought I'd look ahead for a minute and talk about my plans for the year...

...the first edition of "ink snacks" is completed and will be listed for purchase on my Etsy site sometime this month. I'm also working on a couple of other zine concepts for tentative distribution in March.

...my first brands in the "coffee & tea" section will be displayed in February, assuming I don't run into any issues that could cause a delay. I should have three brands to start (they're all independent or humanitarian-inspired brands), then hopefully add a few sporadically throughout the year.

...abstractLatte has really grown over the last year to include a studio, Etsy shop, and Twitter site. I want to keep the endeavor small so I won't be adding any more major elements to the overall brand. However, I plan on having my new portfolio page for the studio portion completed and installed this month along with new work to be displayed in the "books & art" section of the blog.

I hope everyone had a great holiday season and wish you all the best for 2009!
