You ever have something awesomely exciting happen to you but you can't really tell anyone, and the people you can actually tell don't know how important it is to you.
>_>
Well mabye they do........... or mabye they severly underestimate it's importance. Is it possible to be happy and sad at the same time?

I am running a dual 1.6ghz power G5 w/ Mac OS Version 10.3.9
I don't know much about macs considering i only work on one at work : P However, i need some kind of program, similar to Adobe Streamline, as i have a really complicated piece of lineart i need to convert to vector, and tracing the image would take a better part of 20+ hours. I could redraw it no problem, however both illustrator brushes and Flash Brushes are rather finicky when it comes to detailed lines, although mainting the detail isn't as important, it seems that drawing lines close to each other in either of these programs causes nothing but headaches. I don't care if the image gets messed up a little, it can be fixed. Does anyone hav eany suggestions? We have an insaino file wall at work that doesn't permit any kind of file sharring programs......... although i hear that CS2 has a nice vector conversion tool. I have a nice PC at home that can run just about anything............... I just dont' have much knoweldge in the world of vector art.
I need ideas.
On a side note, this is just odd.

| Today's insight. |
[Aug. 12th, 2005|11:15 am] |
So i was thinking more lately that my art isn't that popular, and i should cocentrate more on doing some finished polished colored pieces, to help grow interest...... then this was said to me by a good friend of mine:
"there is a caveat in being popular, in that you need to appeal to the lowest common denominator
and spend godawfully long hours polishing a turd"
The thing about what i've been thinking about doing, is i don't really enjoy it. I want to tell stories, the way i want, good, mediocre, or even occassionally bad art aside, this is my goal. It's tempting to cater to everyone, isn't it? But you cant, and this is a lesson i've learned the hard way, a lesson not to be forgotten.
Do what makes you happy. |

Someone colored my dragon! OMG!!! : O it's camrazy! Check out his Dev Art http://americanninjax.deviantart.com/
The colors came out exemplory, he took some creative with the colors, but i didn't give any direction, he just
asked if he could color it on my dev art, and then, BAM, it was awesome.
Now it's my turn to show off some of my cruddy new art.
( New Junk Herin... )
In other news, Evon got her wallet stolen, along with her cell phone and credit cards, i am very upset at this run of luck that she's
had for a while now, it better end sometime soon......... Luckily we were able to cancel the cards and get reimmbersed for the amount
that was spent without her knoweledge. They spent some money on gas, and then some more at Albertsons, and finally tried to send
over a grand via Western Union to someone named Hanson Hall, we tried to look him up so we can kick his ass, but have had
no luck with that. We assume that the person lives in our apartment complex, as it was snatched from the car, which unfortunitally,
and ever more rarely unlocked. I didn't lock the door, but usually the auto lock goes off, i guess it didn't this time. I feel bad <_<
I bought her some milk tea and offered to replace her phone (we didn't get insurance on them), but nothing can replace her
black Baditz Maru wallet : / so sad. None of this hardly seems like enough, ah well no real harm done, thank god. |

This is by me and Cheshire, a fun little poopy strip to do when we are frustrated with other work.
It’s been a while since I’ve updated with any real art, and in the last few days I’ve been chugging away at some stuff. I am rather amaized at my own pace actually >_> very unbecoming. I suppose I’ll upload some previews along with a few other things I did.
( Let’s see how much I drew this week : D ) |

Well not a whole lot, but i am reviving and old tale, and i figured i'd put some of the sketches up, mostly just ideas so far....
( random junk, thank alex for inspiring super long posts )
BBQ and SDCC were loads of fun, met lots of new people exct... there is a bazillion things to scan, so i limited it to the stuff in relation to my current project. I suppose i'll be posting more on that soon.
Have fun : P |

Ah, SDCC was fun : D
Looks like the con season is over for me.
I think the end of the con season for me is more like other people and their new years resolutions. I have lots of new ideas brewing in my head, along with lots of new focus. It's time to cast off some old shackles and replace them with shiney new ones that i can more easily manage. One thing i am doing for sure is limiting my energies towards my own stories and ideas, and even then as few as possible. I suppose i could spill the beans as to what is happenening next, but that's no fun. I haven't been this excited about doing art for years, i feel like i can really do something now that alof of this other crap is finally sorting it'self out in my life.
I suppose i'll post some more updates as they come to fruition. |

| The future of my art. |
[Jul. 8th, 2005|11:14 am] |
It has just come to my attention that my domain name has expired without me even noticing. I'm wondering if i should even bother renewing it. I don't really want to undertake any huge online projects at the moment. I just want to work quietly on one thing, so why should i even bother? I was considering purchasing soylentart.com just for me and my personal projects. I really kinda feel lost in the online world these days, both in popularity and identity. I know my stuff isn't the greatest, but i know i can still do good things. I feel my art could be much better, but i don't seem to care for taking inspiration from others. I like trudging in my own little path, however miniscule it is. I know im not the most terribly social artist either, and since i rarely post art i know it's not going to direct very much attention my way.
No Landers crashed and burned, and comicsushi went with it, along with my relationship with a friend or two. I have a clean slate here. I have been working on something, but the amount of effort i've put into it so far is pretty miniscule. I have a feeling i should just completely whipe the slate clean and create a new persona, new site, ect... I am still going to work on the same comics, but i'm not entirely sure what to do with the rest of myself. I'm not even sure what the point of this post is. It's a bit angsty i suppose. I know I have some major issues starting to clear up in my life, and i do feel inspired, i just don't know what i'm waiting on. Work is a little annoying, because it drains me creatively. If i could approach comics with the same effeciency that i handle my current job, i would be doing far more than ok.
How does one train oneself to work so hard on your own? Where does that discipline come from? I feel i can finally devote myself fully to my dreams, but i want to make sure i don't repeat my old habits. It's time for me to prove I'm better than that. I have no excuses anymore. For once in my life everything is going my way. I know i've changed alot in the last year.............. but i need to focus less on myself now and more on my work.
Where do i start? Where do i begin? |
