I sell stock images for use in publications, web sites, etc. through several agencies around the world. Mainly 3D images but some photographs too. Shutterstock is one of those agencies and a very large one too. One of my stock images has reached number 10 of the 50 most popular images on Shutterstock this week: http://tinyurl.com/yjuauub. A feat not easily attained. No one is more surprised than me either. This image has taken OFF completely the last 3 weeks. It’s always sold well but sales have gone crazy lately. This time of year seems to be good for stock sales anyway.

I’m quite happy about it though. So I guess I have make more of these…

Guitar Center King of the Blues – 2009

I went into this contest knowing that I probably wouldn’t win but confident that if I did things right that I could. Well I didn’t do things right. I tried too hard. That along with some complications with a pinched nerve in my right elbow (known as cubital tunnel), making it hard to hold on the pick, I lost in the store finals. I won 1st place in the preliminary round but that doesn’t mean a lot. I’ll try again next year and bring my blues “A” game. I lost the blues completely in the store finals. I didn’t deserve to win it really.

Here is the first round video:

And now I have the second round up:

Virtual Blues Jam

This started out as an open track with nothing but drums and bass. It was a great groove so I jammed some guitar over it. Its yet another jam but I like the feel it had. I intend to make something more of it in the future, maybe adding vocals to it.

On The Recording Project forums a gentleman named Moon posted a track in which he wanted several guitarists to post their take on jamming over it. His intention was to take them and mix them into a full song. I was lucky enough to get 2 of my takes chosen for this and I think its a fun song. I did the acoustic guitar track (on a really badly setup guitar that buzzed a lot) and the solo electric guitar which follows it and appears again at the end. I need to fix some of the notes one of these days but for a one-take-fun-jam its all good. The track ended up being titled FALLING.

Heavy workload today. Continuing progress on a new client web site. Yet I’m still thinking about new songs for my upcoming blues CD.
