My Bio

Born in the ice covered lands of the Great White North, Andrew's family moved constantly as a child, his father in search of the perfect profession, something he did not find until he was nearly 50. He lived in the Emerald Valley before moving behind the Zion Curtain, spending his teen years in the Fiery Planes bordering the inland Salt Sea. Eventually he escaped and returned to the Emerald Valley, there apprenticing under great minds, learning many trades and secrets, before leaving to seek his fortune in the capital city of the Emerald Valley. There he lives now seeking to raise up an army of artistically trained youths to conquer Western civilization, though currently teaching them science instead.

Exciting news for my photography.The Balfour Studios website is up and running.  While I have no plans on quitting teaching at North High, I has always needed a side income and have done a number of jobs of late to fill that need (taught drivers ed for instance).  I have decided instead to focus on photography and build up my photography studio business.  I wanted to spend more time with my family, have better control over my schedule, and do what I love as a business. Thus I have built a new website for Balfour Studios, my portrait photography business.  Check out the website and tell me what you think: http://www.balfour-studios.com/home...

I return to Deviantart.I did not originally intend to take a leave of absence from DA, but it seems that I did.  I have been less active on here ever since late Summer and have had little to no activity in the last few weeks.  I apologize to friends whose conversations were left unfinished and to those whose 3,460 artworks are currently awaiting my preview.  I intend to get all caught up by the end of the weekend.In other news I am back to teaching and am on something of a normal schedule.  I am hoping that 2010 will turn out kinder then 2009, and have high hopes for more art shows and what not.  So here is to more art, more talk, and more...

I have been working for the past few weeks to get everything ready for my first art show that I have had my work at in a number of years (outside of one local art teachers exhibit).  I have built a collaboration, named the Polaris CoLab, with 3 of my former students.  We have investigated the 7 deadly sins with a local flair.  If you are in the Salem area, it will be showing from yesterday through Sept. 12th, with the opening 5-7pm on Wednesday, Sept. 2nd.  Come on down and enjoy some refreshments and good time talking with various artists amongst some great work by us and many other local artists.

I just want to say 'Happy Birthday' now in case I forget tomorrow. About ten months ago I recycled one of your artistic ideas for a piece of my own (which did not turn out quite as well as your original). I've just favoured the piece in question and would like to offer you a 'better' piece of my own which still owes something to that style [link] .
