It's been awhile since I put up an update. I've been working hard lately and enjoying my new job. I won't go into much detail but I will say that I work with a great group of people as a business analyst for a banking software firm. It's a contracted position that I would enjoy working as an employee.
Other great news (one of the best things that can happen to a man) is that my fourth child, my first biological child was born May 8, 2008. Andrew, you rock!

Being still fairly new to Florida, I had the pleasure recently when looking for a new job to find a local arts center called Deltona Arts Center. They have history, drama, art, and a music studio. The place is brimming with exceptional local talent.
I had the pleasure of taking my wife to an exclusive reception where I met many wonderful fellow creatives and got to see a bit more of Lloyd Marcus 's vision for the future of this art center. More and more, I am excited to see that Florida has alot to offer. It really has a large arts community as well as being a hotbed for the sport of paintball. Of course the best find being my wife who I met here.
03.14.2008 Living in Florida for just over a year, aside from my paintball battles, I have not got out into nature as much as I would have liked... except the past few days with the geocaching I've been introducing to my kids. They love it. It's a treasure hunt to them!
In traditional art news, I am working on two new paintings. One in oil, the other in watercolor, both the same subject, my wife. Our one year anniversary is coming up and I felt it just the right thing to do since I am a portrait artist! I may go in different directions with each one. Check out my art gallery to see the progress of the oil painting!

VERY IMPORTANT NEWS! Yesterday morning artofanam.com was compromised by would-be criminals using a phishing scheme for a Czech bank called Česká Spořitelna. Don't worry, the files have been analyzed, deleted and all recorded activities have been reported to all of the proper authorities. Security has been increased via changed passwords and etc. Take the time to fight CyberCrime!
For further information: the following is an article I found on expats.cz:
Warning: Česká spořitelna Phishing Scam
Over the past two weeks, Česká spořitelna has been the target of a nasty phishing scam: inboxes are being flooded with messages purporting to be from the bank, notifying users that their account is on hold - all they need to do to rectify the situation is enter personal bank details into a fraudulent webpage that mimics one from ČS's site. Anyone who submits their bank details will be giving them directly to the criminals responsible for the scam.
At 13:00 on Friday 7.3, a new batch of emails was sent out using a forged "info@expats.cz" address in the reply-to field. The emails are in fact originating from a france Wanadoo address smtp server. Expats.cz has no connection with these scammers; the sender address was faked, and our e-mail address was abused while thousands of these phishing scams were sent out.
This is a scam. Česká spořitelna will never ask for your details in this manner. Beware the following e-mail, and any others like it.
Here's the original e-mail, links removed:
"You are required to upgrade your Ceska Sporitelna Account by subscribing to our New Security Center.
Please click here in order to upgrade your Ceska Sporitelna account.
If you not perform the update now, your account will be placed on hold. On hold accounts can still send money, but they cannot withdraw or receive funds." Worried clients can call Ceska Sporitlena expat center directly on +420 224 101 630
