Sushi and Bristol Ren Faire

Slightly preoccupied while writing this - I found an old stand-up routine of Dennis Leary while I was working, and it's funnier than hell. I love the insane screaming rant comedians. 

Updating and working solidly on artwork, but I did have a couple opportunities lately to put together some photos. One was a sort of "staged" photo shoot, the other one was me taking my Canon Rebel SLR to the annual Bristol Ren Faire on the border of Wisconsin and Illinois and managing to snap off some sweet shots. I also walked away from that one with some insane amount of ideas for costuming. I seriously need to buy a sewing machine and put this stuff together. Between the initial design for an outfit for a couple of friends' getting married and that event......I could be busy with sewing for months from now. I seriously could. 

Anyway. There's some new stuff in the general gallery, including some new portfolio drawings. I redid a drawing I did back in 2006. I was sick and tired of it, so I decided to update it. Also some fun stuff from the old abandoned SF comic that I was going to do. Le Sigh. Someday. 

Commissions are open as well! Check here for the price list. 

Here's the Sushi Gallery.

And Here's the Bristol Ren Faire Shots. 

Catch you guys on the flip side. 

Commissions are Open!

Head on over to my dA page to check out what's for sale in the single-page art realm. 

Tinkering with CSS

So today I sat down and decided to try my hand at messing around with cascading style sheets @ dA. I had a journal that I absolutely liked the style of from another member, but didn't quite like the  colors that were put together. I messed around a bit in Adobe Dreamweaver and came up with a very quick style change for the journal. It's installable, and about the only thing I did today aside from finally getting the electric bill in my name here at the Apt/Studio. 

Here is the link to the installable journal CSS (deviantARTists only)

Here's a link to a sample blog with 2 of the 3 extra styles added. 

Going to look around about starting up commissions and the like. I have poor health on a semi-regular basis, so I'm going to try to find the easiest way to start making money off designing logos, websites and the like. I will post FAQ in one of my many sites, I swear. 

That's all for now!

Update ~ Among Other Things

There's been a lack of updates recently, real life has gotten really freaking hectic. If you want the full story, check my dA account. I'm still working on the website, and thanks to a few classes, I'm going to be able to do some decent formatting on it. Eventually, I'll be able to post it up once my issues with the apartment is done.

Casket Studios closer to launch...

Made my bid for the url today. Within the next week I'll know wether or not I can make the site casketstudios a reality. It'll host all of my artwork (a PROFESSIONAL resume-ish thing...) and that sort of joyus muck. 

I got some of the cool stuff from a lot of the free-to-use Stock over @ DeviantART. I'll post a list when I actually launch the site and send notes to those who's stock I used. I might tweak a TON of crap, but that usually happens. After all, it is me. I'm never satisfied with my stuff. 

Hop on over to my DeviantART page anyway and critique one of my WIPs, a Mac-sized Desktop of some old characters from the defunct-Champion Server-based SuperGroup, Stryke-Force. Ahhh, I miss the SG. Not the drama, but the people. But that's another matter entirely. 

For those of you who give a crap, I've reopened one of my blogs as a general rambling blog. I tend to do it too much, and want to keep things on this blog art and design-related. More will be there as the days unfold. 

New Art @ DevART...

While I've been overloaded with work, I managed to shoot a couple of photos of my traditional stuff that are posted up on DeviantArt. Once the school year winds down, you'll see a bit more of me. Big kudos to waiting out for so long. 

Here's the link because I'm going to eventually work on sprucing up this place a bit...

Productive Suck.

What started out as a promising year has hit the doldrums since March. 

Ugh. So much has happened that I'm being productive in many other areas....just not drawing. Forcing myself to pick up the tablet and pencil when I have a few breaks, but those breaks end up being REALLY late at night. It sucks. 

So far this week, I've had to deal with my ceiling still leaking (thanks to a ruptured pipe, apparently) and a messed up ankle. STILL don't know what's wrong with it, and my room's a bloody mess because I haven't been walking about and fixing it up.
