Twenty Eleven is now over and we are now diving headfirst in to twenty twelve. The following is my list of goals for this year.

  • Make a (decent) profit from Blueberry Arts (including oh-no)
  • Try to do a water color and or oil painting every month for the “Painting of the Month”
  • Be more social with my fans on social networking.
  • Reboot (but not rebrand) Whiskey Falls in color on it’s own site again and run on Sherpa through the end of the year.
  • Put the first four years of OH-NO back online.
  • Blog more.
  • Eat better and exercise (or at least give it a good try)
  • Keep in better touch with friends.
  • Catch up on drawing Whiskey Falls and release a book sometime this year.
  • Create a new OH-NO Book in color collecting the first two books.
  • Enter the Cartoonist Studio contest this year (don’t miss out like you did last year)
  • Be the best daddy I can to my little girl.
  • Focus more on black and white photography.
    • Get a dedicated film scanner, chemistry and an HD monitor from the sale of your old unused scanner and old laptop.
  • Sell something on ebay weekly (if not more) and put money into the BBA Fund.
  • Make a two minute animated pilot for Whiskey Falls.
  • Start a podcast (walters podcast of doom and my own review show) (Get a new mic and mixer for this)
  • Actually do the AOM 30 day challenge this year (c’mon it will be fun)
  • Find a better paying day job, possibly in the field of Art
  • Take classes on InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop so I can be proficient in them
  • Give Lorin sometime to breath away from the baby
  • Take time to enjoy the world around you.
  • Finally go through that crate of magazines I don’t read and reduce the clutter in all parts of my life.
  • Get some mud on the tires of the ol Jeep.
  • Hide and Seek some Geocaches.
  • Introduce Lottie to nature, camping and hiking.
  • Make Lorin and Lottie feel special.
  • Make sure Rosemary feels thanked for everything she has done for us.
  • Call my mother (and possibly send a postcard every once in a while)
  • Drastically reduce my debt and put away some money to save for a home.
  • Look back on this list at the end of the year and see how well I did.

So that’s my list of goals. It was mostly written as it spilled from my brain. I may add to it, but I will not subtract. It will be interesting to see what was accomplished and what was not. Wish me luck.
