So I've been working for the City of Berkeley (City Hall) as a receptionist for the City Manager and Mayor and City Council.

It's not the greatest piece of WOW fanart out there (look on blizzard's fanart website, there are some AWESOME stuff submitted), but still, I think I did well for my technically second CG illustration and I don't want anyone stealing it!!!! So I wanted it show it ( Read more... )

So I finally did go out to Lands End, lugging my stupid sketchbook, paints, watercolor brushes, pens, and pencils.  No magazine!  Managed to get a quick one minute sketch of the bay landscape with the Golden Gate Bridge and a lonely sailboat, when the wind started blasting. Actually it was always blasting but I managed to ignore it, until I was ( Read more... )
