Excuses, Apocolypses, and Story Info (random)

Wow, I haven't been online in quite a while, have I?  My last post was way back in September.  Sorry about that!  I've been having technical issues.  My laptop's fan died and I have been unable to access the web regularly.  I just got the part I need and I'm going to install it soon, but it will take several hours, just because of the intricacies it takes to fix a laptop.  It order to reach the fan, you have to remove more than 7 other parts.  Really looking forward to that.  :(

Nonetheless, here I am!  Posting once again.  Today's the last day of 2011, so how could I not post something?  I know that next year the world's supposed to end and everything, but I've never really trusted the Mesoamerican Long Count calender (also known as the Mayan calender), so I thought I'd continue to post. 

I looked at my view count today and found a rather large increase in views, which is counter-intuitive seeing as I haven't posted anything in months.  Not to say I'm not grateful because I really am!  It's great to see that I got nearly 700 hits since I last checked. 

I've finally been able to start work on Chapter 4 of the Emerald Curtain once again.  I have about 1000 more words to go before I'll consider it suitable to post, but I've been writing diligently whenever I find computer time.  It might not be as nice and finished as my other chapters, but that's because of my limited access to it and the fact that I just want to get it out. 

Now, I realize that this has probably been one of my more boring posts, but one more thing. . . .Poetry time!!!


I have to admit that I've been brief,
But still I'll try my best to keep,
This site alive with creative motif,
And my computer alive and not in sleep.


Peace out peoples,

Abstract Watercolors (discussion/explanative)








I was just checking up on my blog, when I realized that I haven't posted a thing in almost a week-and-a-half. O_o  I'm ashamed. T_T  I've been doing a ton of offline art, especially in watercolor, but I can't seem to upload it.  My scanner is terrible (it takes up to four hours to scan a single thing -.-') and I just don't have that kind of time.  So, instead, I thought I'd simply describe my artistic pursuits until I can actually upload them. :D  Yay!!!!!

Okay, so I've been doing a lot of abstract watercolor lately, mostly wet-on-wet technique, and experimenting with color.  Almost all of my abstracts are done with pure, merely water-diluted pigment taken straight from the palette. This results in extremely vibrant coloring and a wide variety of pigment bases (by a pigment base I mean that, if you take a purple from the tube, the blue in the purple's mix might be a different pigment than the blue in a green pigment taken straight-from-the-tube.)  This creates a very exciting, powerful, almost tie-dye result that draws the eye all around the image, like a little jungle adventure for the eye (not that I'm overly vain about my work. . . .)

I've also found that I love splatter-paints!  And no, not splatter-paints as in what you do as a five year-old.  I mean actual, professionally used, eye-pleasing splatter-paints.  They're extremely expressive, something that I believe is a must in true art. (It should be noted that I have the urge to now go into a philosophical discussion about the nature of 'true art', however I believe that such a thing would make this post unmanageably long and cause me to lose the interest of my beloved readers. *pushes glasses up in extremely nerdy way*)

Anyways, I've now posted something! Woo!!!


Peace out peoplz,

Bamboo Tablet (random)

So. . . .I mentioned in my last two post that I recently came into the possession of a touch tablet, specifically of the Bamboo brand.  *turns into chibi form*  IT'S SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, now that I got that out of my system, we will turn back to the very factual and logical benefits of my new (awesome) tablet.  Here, I present a list to prove it's awesomeness:

1.  Pressure sensitive
2.  Easy to control transparency
3.  Accepts both pen and touch input
4.  Pen has a normal grip and no battery is needed
5.  Tablet directly corresponds to computer screen
6.  Simple, easy scrolling device
7.  Right-click button
8.  Can be used for writing, drawing, and just surfing the web
9.  Small and easy to fit on computer desk
10.  Straightforward and simple directions

. . . .I could go on. . . .have I mentioned how awesome it is?

Anyway, hopefully the quality and style of my digital art will improve with this new (awesome) tablet at my disposal.


Peace out peoples!

200 VIEWS!!!! (random poem)

As the title suggests, The Kobalt Board has reached 200 views!  YAY!!!!  Yeah, I know it's not that big for most people, but it's big for me, so THERE.

To commemorate this historic event, I thought I'd write a little poem. . . .
