Imagekind sale… check it out!
July 16, 2008As you all know (those of you who know me and those of you who actually care 😉 I sell my art as prints at various sites. I’ve spoken about Imagekind in the past as a great site to go and get nice prints framed or otherwise. You can check out my previous post about my buying my own print framed. It was a good experience. 😀
So… check out the sale. Thanks!

Haru no Onna – The Spring Maiden
April 1, 2008Here is a pretty good example of what I can do when I’m bored enough and play with photoshop:
This was prepped by me removing the background by hand. I really need to find how to use more shortcuts and such. At this point the image is ready to be manipulated but only the bare minimum has been done by removing the background.
After some work and probably a good hour or so of work, this is the end result. It’s nowhere near perfect but it’s 100% better than what I had and much brighter colorwise. I even added the background as if she were outside along with some layered shadows. Makes me think of a shadowbox or something.
This item is for sale as the final product at my Deviantart and Zazzle shops.

ARGH!!!!
November 3, 2007So I went to WineStyles today… and nobody was there!!! Apparently someone changed the meeting time to 11 am but didn’t inform anyone else. So nobody showed up for the last art show of the year at that locale and by noon or so they had all gone, the few of those I guess who showed… Atleast that’s what the girl at WineStyles told me. 😦 So that means I stayed up printing out new business cards and samples and stuff to pass around for “Nothing!!!” UGH!!! I’m already sort of in a pissy mood for other reasons but this just topped it off. Plus this was supposed to be our opportunity to get stuff to one of the organizers for some art event happening on Tuesday or Wednesday. I can’t go cause I work and I can’t take off for it since unlike my other coworkers, I only really take off for one vacation a year, major holidays and important stuff like if I was sick or someone died. I don’t call in sick then go do “gigs” elsewhere. I really don’t want to lose my day job.
Well to keep this art-oriented and change it from pissed to not so pissed, I went to the Chinese markets and Japanese market and bought me some candies and stuff. I think I buy most of those Asian candies and such because the packaging is just so “kawaii (cute).” I mean it’s made to catch the eye and keep it and get those little asian kids to go “Okasan!!! (Mother) I want Okashi!!! (candy)” 😀 So yeah I bought a lot of that due to the prettiness of the packaging and past experience with some of the brands and candies. I have to say the Japanese know how to make candy awful purty like. 😀
I’m going back to sleep. I’m cranky and tired and I have nothing else going on today. That WineStyles thing was my big event and it was a bust. 😦

Art rage (this is not a rant!) ;P
October 26, 2007
No this is not the rage felt by a passionate artist upon finding their nearly finished work of art has been destroyed by a careless child, guest, pet etc etc…
Instead, this is the name of a shareware program you can use for free or buy called “Art Rage.” It’s actually very reminescent of Painter classic. I heard about this program again and went to their site and downloaded the shareware version. It’s very versatile and easy to use. I really like the feel that you are painting or using pastels or even air brushing. It’s a good little program to draw or doodle in. 😀
So these are some examples I did tonight in Artrage. If you want to see a larger view, check out my photobucket page.
That’s it for now.
Thanks for looking. 😀
