So I've been sick (again) over the past few days. It's something like chicken pox, and I just have to wait it out. I saw a few doctors yesterday, and the dermatologist was able narrow it down to two possible viruses, and gave me stuff to help me be comfy. The pain was the worst yesterday evening (sooo painful) and, mercifully seems to have passed. It was the worst on my palms, and the bottoms of my feet, so I couldn't do much. I slept *a lot* last night, since the constant pain stopped. Feeling loads better now. My face looks a bit better... the past few days, I've looked like a meth addict, or a "before" pic on an acne med commercial That seems to be fading. Just need to wait for the polka dots and soreness to go away.

Pics are up of the longboard I have painted, which some of you out there have already seen in person

Okay... I have decided to finally go through and add explanations to my pieces. First up on the line is "The Hero's Path" because it is one of my favorites. : )

Okay... a newer version of Gmork is up. Adjusted the levels in photoshop, and this on a pc looks like the original on a mac.

Wow... okay so I looked at this piece on my computer at work (just now cause it's slooow and I'm bored and by myself > > and it looks totally different here than it does on my mac at home 0_o I now see what anotherartgeek was saying about lightining it up a bit more. I did a bit the other day, but I see I need to some more. It acctually has a lot of detail that is *compleatly* lost on this screen. That sucks. The challenges of digital art. I shall fix it and repost.

Oh yeah... happy belated Kitties Day! Yesterday we got a pair of orange kitten brothers (Sam and George). They are super cute =^..^=

Did a new quick digital painting of Gmork from The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. Inspired from reading Beowulf, particularly Grendel & the descriptions of him. You can all read the blah-blah about it on the description of the piece. Gmork is an interesting character because he is really an anti-hero, going through all that the hero goes through, but mirrored, and destructive. I won't get into it, for those who haven't read it, but the description of Gmork entering the world in this book is so interesting and vivid... love it!

Also... I need to scan my prints. Opened up my print portfolio for a sec last night after a more thorough cleaning of my room...forgot about the lovely smell of prints... forgot how nice some of them came out... only looked at one or two. Gotta go through them and scan them and put them up here. None of them are too huge, so I don't think it will be to hard...
