My awesome Tensor full-spectrum floor lamp’s bulb finally died. I’ve had the thing for approximately 3-4 years now, so I guess it was about time for the bulb to bite the dust. Unfortunately, those particular bulbs do not tend to run especially cheap and I’m out of regular energy saving bulbs (or even energy sucking [...]

It seems my mouse might be on its last legs. For some reason, the left click tends to wonk out fairly often and even if I only click once, or hold it down, it will take it upon itself to automatically double click, which leads to frustrating results.
I’ve been having issue opening windows, programs, switching [...]

Today marks our (meaning Nate and I) six year anniversary.
There’s been a lot of growth, a lot of stress, hardship, triumph and joy. We’re not officially married yet, that will come eventually, but we love each other regardless. Here’s looking forward to many more anniversaries to come. We endeavor to be that eccentric old [...]

I found a couple by the front door. First one was a female, decent size and she liked to try to bite my fingers when I was handling her. I let her go after watching her scramble around the bottom of a plastic tube I had left from a set of brushes. Then, last night, [...]

A bit of shameless self-promotion: If anyone didn’t already know, I sell prints of some of my work through RedBubble. I’ve sold a few, but haven’t gotten any feedback on how they turned out. A few more sales wouldn’t hurt if anyone’s interested. :p
I finished the FlyFF version of Skogul piece. It turned out rather [...]

Not a whole lot of actual interest going on with me right now. Here’s a shortlist of the things of negligible interest.

I finally bothered to draw a proper reference for Skogul, though I feel like I could’ve added more to it, in terms of detail shots, but I got lazy.
Mother’s Day is tomorrow, and it’s [...]

Okay, so… weather is a big part of my life. Well, if you want to get technical, it’s a bit part of everyone’s life, as we’re all affected by it in some way, right?
I’m not even an outdoorsy kind of person; I was when I was a kid, but I also grew up in the [...]

Today is my beloved Pembroke Welsh Corgi’s birthday. Spider turns six years old today and deserves six smoky pig ears!
Unfortunately for the pups, I won’t be able to go out and get him anything special until late tonight or tomorrow afternoon as Nate has work after class today. I’m sure he won’t mind. I will [...]

The weather here in New England has been unbearably cold as of late. I mean, it’s been cold all winter, but it’s just ghastly right now. I’ve actually been putting off completing two pieces because my hands get so cold and sore while I’m working I have to stop every few minutes just to warm [...]

One of the “essential” sub-types of anime/manga-style art is something called “Super Deformed“, often shortened to SD and commonly called “chibi“, although the latter isn’t entirely the most accurate term, as it simply means “small”.
SD is often used for small little caricature drawings of key characters, usually in whimsical or humorous situations. Sometimes it’s [...]
