WOW… I was just looking through the art I have entered into EBSQ Shows over the past 4 years (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007) and was really impressed with my consistency to make art based on the themes and even to win recognition a few times. This year I am setting SMART Goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and with a Time line) instead of just the standard resolutions. So I have decided on my SMART-ART goal for 2008.

I will create at least one NEW artwork (in any medium of my choice as is fitting for the theme) per month to enter into EBSQ Shows.

The shows that I am scoping out and thinking up ideas include:

• January: WIP: Unfinished Art
• February: The Nude In Art
• March: Childhood: A Mixed Media Show
• April: The EBSQ Trashion Show: Clothes & Accessories from Totally Repurposed Materials
• May: Unmentionables: The Underwear Show
• June: Creation Myths: An EBSQ Juried Artists Exhibit
• July: Ripped Off
• August: Annual Pet Portrait Swap
• September: Welcome To The Theatre
• October: The Bat Show
• November: On the Trail: Campaign Art
• December: Ornamental: Deck The Halls
