Gratitude is a great first word to start a blog post. Gratitude is what Andrew and I feel on this wild journey that is our art life. (Clarify: Our side business art life because...baby need new shoes. And insurance. Thank you, Auburn University full-time job).
Anyway, the journey has been exciting, and I hope that this becomes a space where we can divulge the ins and outs of our life in respect to Andrew Lee Design.
Truthfully, I miss my days of blogging. Years ago, when Andrew and I were first married, I blogged. It was the thing to do back in the good ol' days...of 2009. I still like to share our stories, and I have long taken on the role of "Whitney, the wife." (Alliteration gets me every time.) We were in Birmingham for the Southern Makers event last month and a customer asked if I were the artist. With a smirk, I replied, "No, m'am. I'm just Whitney, the wife." And so a phrase was born.
I'm thinking I should capitalize "Wife" from here on out...
So, as Whitney, The Wife, I want to contribute in the ways that I can. I hope to have a voice here, in addition to Andrew, The Artist. #alliteration. We also have a few ideas about some guest bloggers. I like the idea of relaying different perspectives and voices from the same origin: Andrew Lee Design.
We are genuinely grateful to you wonderful people reading, supporting, and spurring us on.
Warmly,
Whitney, The Wife

You Can't Rush Art
A couple of years ago on a warm Sunday afternoon at the tail end of a Southeastern Wildlife Expo in Charleston, SC, as I recall it I turned to Mike Floyd in the Gray’s Sporting Journal booth where we were set up and said, “well, we’ve got about another hour until we pack up… should I just find something in one of the issues for inspiration and see how far I can get with something?!’ As he looked around the venue he shrugged and said, “it's winding down, but you might as well. I don’t see why not!” So we flipped through and landed on an Over Under Co. ad that had a particularly striking photo of a pointer bird hunting with the sun pouring through the trees and blanketing the field. I didn’t hesitate. ‘It’ll be for fun’, I thought, ‘I’ll just go as fast as I can and see what happens’.
