1) ConDFW starts Friday and I still have lots of drawing/sewing/printing to do. AUUUGH
2) I actually made some major headway in unpacking/organizing/labeling things in the studio that have been hidden from me since I had to kill Studio 4A and shovel it into boxes.

At least I got these nifty bookmarks done!

I’ve gone back to my nerdy fantasy roots and drawn some childhood heros to represent four of the Classical Elements: a mermaid for water, a unicorn for earth, a fairy for air and a phoenix for fire. Look, I even took the time to figure out how to spell the names in Tolkien Elvish. Just looking at them makes me feel all warm and squishy inside! These designs will make their debut as bookmarks and bookplates at ConDFW.

Epicycloid-A-Day

Hooray! It’s back up!

Epicycloid-A-Day, where you can get your curvaceous fix. I swear I’m keeping up with it this time around.

The biggest problem I keep running into is album management. Most automated albums don’t allow for sub-albums, which is a HUGE feature I need. Incidentally, it’s what keeps me from creating other online classification galleries for massive collections of photos and drawings. I want to be able to control how the user navigates, tag/classify photos and have an infinite number of subdivisions available. Also I should not have to have passed a college-level computer science class to put it together. Anything like that exist out there?

Resolution

At first I figured this was arbitrary, but I can probably slip it in under the radar as a New Year’s Resolution!

I’m not the most disiplined person in the world, as evidenced by my failure to upkeep various blogs and other dated material. There is nothing to indicate I reguarly produce work so I shall do so here! I will post more screenshots, photos and jps of my work.

Let’s start with something I did purely for fun yesterday, a LiveJournal mood icon set for my friend Nicole. She enjoys a Japanese comic book called Naruto so I made some of a character she likes named Temari.

I don’t usually do pixel-work, but it’s fun to do every once in a while. I just started with a head base and put the different facial expressions in different layers. Easy to do and produced a fairly nice result, I think.
