This digital piece cries out that it could be a watercolor. I am itching to paint again. I think I will break out the watercolor to appease it.

Ever think that the idea of being a geek was something worth hiding? Well, the authors of Weregeek took that and ran with it…

It started in 2006. It has a wonderful story and the art is worth looking at. I enjoy the comic, though i am behind on it at the moment.

I feel like hiding under giant mushrooms and playing with the fae. Anyone want to join me?

Writing is so weird.

Every writer will tell you that writing is not the easiest thing to do. The characters will refuse to be written if you have any thing off, such as the title or maybe the idea of who are writing. Serena has been struggling with the second book in her zombie series. She was trying to keep the name similar to the first one. The first book – Rust, Gore, and the Junkyard Zombie – was named appropriately. It worked for the book. She was also struggling with the cover. Nothing I was designing fit what she was wanting.

Through experiments and discussion I believe that we have found the right title and series title. (I will have to adjust RGatJZ later to add the subtitle).

Book 2 will be The Art of Zombie.

The series Title is going to be the World Gone Wrong.

She is back to work…writing more undeath. I have a cover design that she is happy with. (reveal will be closer to the release date)

I have always been envious of the Talent for art my brother has. I got a talent for words, he got the talent for art. I have to work hard to learn how to do things that come naturally to him. I have been building skills in art.

However, that being said…for me it all started with a dog. my mom showed me how to do a simple dog. I used that to start learning how to draw other things.

Webcomics Wednesday

Webcomic discussion

So I am always looking for new webcomics. A friend of mine told me that his wife had started one. It is so far off to an excellent start! Join me in reading Of Coffeehouses and Cupids.

The art, to my eye, has a very manga feel to it. I love the characters so far and I am seriously looking forward to reading more.

I consider photography to be an art. I am an amateur. I asked a man once who I knew to be a good photographer why he did not pursue his art. He had such an eye for color and beauty.

He told me that if he considered it to be art he couldn’t do it.
Surprised, I asked him why?

He told me that if it were art it would have to be perfect. It would anger him to create Imperfect art. But as a picture it would be okay if it was natural. Nature has flaws.

That has always baffled me. For me, it would frustrate me to see the differences between nature and my pictures. Still, I can take a picture and make it look better on the computer. I can adjust the brightness, the colors, and the contrast. Somehow that makes me feel better about the shots I take.
