I’ve been busy since touching down in Portland on May 23rd after my 8th SURTEX.  In addition to all the follow up, I’ve moved as well.  I feel like I’ve been moving for a year – well, it’s been 9 months of getting houses ready to sell, selling 2, and moving the inhabitants here and there.  My new studio is almost done and I’ll share pics soon.

I’ve been enjoying ready all the blogs about SURTEX as well.  Here is a list of links – in no particular order and by no means all the blog posts out there – just the ones I’ve discovered.  If you’d like to be added to the list, email me with your link! (If any of these don’t click for some reason, copy & paste, I’ll be unpacking!

So… without further ramblings, here are links to posts about SURTEX 2012

This one, in my opinion, is REQUIRED READING – Jim of Two Town Studios – great recap and some news about Atlanta >> http://twotownstudios.blogspot.com/2012/05/surtex-good-bad.html
