So another year has rolled around and I’ve been busy as hell. Between running Noir dating the wrong people, trying to keep the business together, longboarding, and taking up painting again, I’ve been running flat out since September.

I suppose all and all, it’s been a good last few months, but honestly the tail end of 2010 really sucked. I lost ( Read more... )

It’s been a while since my last post. I guess I’ve been busy. Work was getting pretty slow near the end of the summer, but it’s been crazy for the last few weeks. In my spare time, I’ve taken up longboarding on top of the heli, painting, and getting a new kink night off the ground.

Longboarding is the most fun I’ve had legally in a long time. I ( Read more... )

Well, my weekend was a blur of pain. Friday I picked up a longboard, which I’ve been wanting for the last two years. I finally ran out of excuses, so I took the plunge.

Of course, we all know what happens to people who pick up a sport again after years and years of not doing it, they get stupid and wipe out. I’m no exception. Mind, I did ( Read more... )

Well, the latest painting is done. It’s another freehand airbrush on canvas. I rather like the way the textures and color worked out, but as it wasn’t well thought out, I’m not 100% convinced on the final outcome. Still, it’s rather interesting, and gave me a chance to try a bunch of techniques on canvas, and to refine some of my approach.

I’ve recently taken to experimenting with airbrush on canvas instead of illustration card. I have to say that it’s been a real challange. I’m not fussy on the results so far, but I’m learning a hell of a lot.

I usually try to use a techique that is light on the paint, and allows me to correct, or texture with an electric eraser, knife, or ( Read more... )

Monday morning once again. I’m looking over my task list for the week, and discovering that some of the things I needed to get done last week have sort of bled over into this one. I can’t seem to find my 06 tax returns, I’ve forgotten to mail my GST remittances, and so on.

I feel rather disorganized.

I suppose it’s not the end of the world ( Read more... )

Well, it seems that the upgrade of Apache on my box did not go as planned. Pretty much everything, and all dependencies had to be rebuilt from scratch. So, it was a bit of a process.

Well… We’re back up and running now, so what’s been up….

Work was insane for the last couple of months, but it’s quieted down in recent weeks. I’m actually ( Read more... )

It’s been increasingly hard to find time to do creative work over the last couple of weeks. The day job is keeping me insanely busy, and by the time I’m done for the day, there isn’t anything left. I’m burnt out. So it’s been hard to keep up with posting, because frankly there’s been nothing to post about, other than ‘work sucks’ which ( Read more... )
