I journeyed to the Iowa State Fair a few weeks back with the Gorshes to see Vintage Trouble on one of the free stages.
Here are a few pictures from that awesome day!
Next Wednesday’s randomness might involve Kentucky. It just might.

Now that I am officially caught back up with my blogging, I’d like to do a little bit of general house cleaning and look at some completely meaningless statistics.
First of all and most importantly, the Gallery/Store has experienced a complete redesign. It could still be classified as a work in progress, but you should go check it out anyway:
I’m not completely in love with the way you navigate around the store/gallery, but it looks a million times better. Any feedback is appreciated.
On these periodic check ins, I like to look at and acknowledge the people that have appeared in this blog AKA An Artist’s Notebook the most since its inception all those years ago.
Top Ten People to Appear in these Pages:
1. Jesse Howard – 224
2. Jay Janson – 199
3. Teresa Kahler – 185
4. Derrick Gorshe – 184
5. Shannon Bardole – 173
6. Jen Gorshe – 170
7. Dad – 163
8. Carla Stensland – 148
9. Mom – 147
10. Willy – 144
At these times, I also like to look at the most popular pictures in the store. I can’t claim to know 100% how these are determined, but I think it has something to do with pictures that get the “Thumbs Up”.

Now that I have the keywords in my gallery closer to being set up the way (but is by all means, not pefect) I want them to be set up, I think the halfway mark of the year is a perfect time to bring back the Happy Birthday post.
So Happy Birthday Jen!
I had the great honor of being a bridesman in Sara and Shawn’s wedding on Saturday. I didn’t have an opportunity to take many pictures, but here are a few that I did manage to snap off:
I can’t think of a way I would have rather spent my birthday!
