Koi Yang...

I did this piece for a friend to use on an invitation. I'm calling it "Koi Yang." I need to cut out some of the bg to make it look circular, but you get the idea. this was almost a speed paint at about an hour for the base and then a half hour or so this morning touching up the details... Apparently I'm pretty good at painting fish.

And Can I Come There Frequently?...

Jam of the moment.

So, I'm a little further along on "Think Fish" Not much to say really. From your perspective, this looks like more than a little further along, it's been a while since I updated. I guess right now I'm at about three sittings in. I'll try to work on it this weekend, but we'll see how it goes. So far, I like the pace that I'm working at. Most of the base work is done, so it's mostly detail from here, we'll see how it goes.

80085

So, I was just thinking, is all innuendo inherently sexual, or are there other types of innuendo to choose from. How about fiscal innuendo? Political innuendo maybe? Statistical innuendo? Is that like when you "80085" on your calculator so that it says "boobs"? Wait, I guess that's sexual innuendo again. Blast, I'll have to give it more thought.

Sham Wowed

I want a Sham Wow. I don't know what I'd use it for, but that's freakin' amazing. Where does all the liquid go? Worm holes?

Think Fish

Quick update. I'm working on a painting now called "Think Fish."

It was inspired by some sick art by a friend I met on the internets. What Can I say, she has good tastes. Apparently the waiting list for getting a painting from me has noting to do with favorites and everything to do with manipulating my short attention span. That said, the style I'm shooting for is something like:

Yeah, I know, she's not wearing pants. It's cool, she's with me. Anyway, this pic is one of my favs from artist audrey kawasaki. Very cool stuff, click it, see it, love it. I'm trying to get this one done quick so I have time to actually play the copy of GTA IV I bought the other day. What can I say, guns, drugs, and sex. You know how us programmers live.

Finally!...

I finally updated my art site: The World of Dreaming. http://worldofdreaming.com/ Check it out.

Apparently I started this site waaaaaayyyyy back in 2002, and I'm just now finishing it in 2008, so, if you're currently on the waiting list for a painting, that should give you some idea of what you're in for :P

Why Do I Lie To you Like That?...

I know I promised an update, but, you see, the thing is, I'm lazy.... Yup, that about sums it up. I wanted to put up one of my newer works in progress, but so much for that. I suppose instead I'll just put up one of my older pieces I haven't shown here yet.

Tada. This one is called "Bubble Pop Fantasy" and was the first in my fantasy series (of 3 so far). Originally, I think I was going to do this in a cel shaded style, but somehow it just didn't work out like that. I like it, especially the kind of retro, graphics thing going on in the background. Also note that the headphones she's wearing are a pair of headphones I actually own. Yeah for product placement. Sony, that's free advertising, you could at least send me a PS3 or something for my troubles. More to come later. Peace.
