Happy New Year and dear god I'm so sorry for my extended absence. 

Since the last time I was here (2013 to be precise) a great amount of events occurred in my life. From the sudden passing of my mother in 2014 which led to a period of depression, complete burn out from constant deadlines with my business on top of it, to the eventual re-finding my passion for art and returning to what I enjoy doing.. it's certainly been a whirlwind of emotions and events. 

Since the start of 2018, I'm thrilled with the progress I've been making in my life which involves reorganizing my business, bringing back my main account :icondawnstarw: out of the slump that it's been in and a few new things. What does that mean for :iconday-in-a-life:? I'll be taking the time to restructure things and reboot the comic. So keep an eye out as I work on bringing life back to this poor neglected spot.

Blue Moon Gallery July Show
I'm so jazzed for this! I am one of the 2-D artists who were invited to be shown with this month's show at Blue Moon Gallery! Here is the news of this month's event: 

We're excited to announce that for the month of July, we will be celebrating the creative and charitable works of Chris Max Thompson with our Thousand Bowls, Feed the Hungry themed show! He has been hard at work making 1,000 bowls over the past year and a half. The proceeds from the sale of the bowls will help feed local residents in need. We are one of eleven galleries who have opened our hearts to this gift of giving. Also featuring the 2-D works of Varya McMillan, Peter Jai, Dawn Star Wood, Penny S. Hanscom, and Bob Miller.

Blog Interview with Stacy Garrett

Wow! I was tickled when a friend of mine, author and photographer :iconstacyjgarrett: had contacted me asking if she could interview me for a guest spotlight on her blog EttaJeanFantasy.wordpress.comI figured why not and went ahead and answered her questions in my typical fashion, mainly due to the fact that many of her questions I've been asked more then once at one time or another within the last 6 months or so. Well the interview just went up and I have to say that she did a wonderful job. Interested in reading it? Go ahead and visit her post: Spotlight Thursday - Eyes on Dawn Star Wood! 

You can also check out more of Stacy's word by following her on Facebook: 

She also has her first novel Chronicle of Destiny is coming out this next week! You can order it from GoodReads.com or Amazon.com
