So today is Blog Action Day. The idea is that through blogging, people can spread awareness about issues like climate change, global poverty, environmental problems, world hunger and all the other topics that should be of importance to everyone. I think this is a great idea personally! There are millions of blogs out there and millions of people to read and follow an author’s posts. If enough people notice this or any other blog that’s participating in Blog Action Day, it is my hope that people will be inspired to make changes, no matter how small, to combat the issues that this event stands for. Happy Blog Action Day everyone!

So I’ve jumped on the bandwagon of deviantArtists who have livestream channels. Here’s mine. Not too sure what I’d broadcast, maybe show off a little bit of my inking in Painter for fun or colouring something. Either way, stay tuned.

Full view is good!

Found this while reading through the blog of one of my favourite artists. Personas is an application that determines how you are viewed by the internet based on a person’s name. Pretty interesting, but I’m not sure how accurate it really is. I’m not a very sporty person, but on the other hand not lazy.

Well for the first time ever in my life, I’ve been going through a bit of an artblock. The weird thing about it is that I have ideas but I haven’t found any that were satisfying enough to draw. Luckily yesterday I made myself a little inspirational wallpaper and as soon as I finished with the wallpaper, ideas started to flow.

Colouring old wip’s sure helps. Can you tell how much I like colouring a character’s eyes…I sure do. Not sure if I’ll put this in the junk section or not, it is sort of old…and the anatomy is atrocious…but I do need more original art. Could always mention that it’s old…hmmm.

Also as a result of new inspiration, I have a new idea for a website layout, so I better get sketching. And one last thing, if you noticed that this blog’s guestbook was broken for a little while, it’s finally fixed and working again, so if you want to leave a little message YOU CAN NOW!

That is all!

Looking at the site and a few of my favourite art sites gave me the inspiration to tweak Tranquil-Solace’s layout a little bit in photoshop…

I really wanted to have a separate section for my latest gallery additions and works in progress(wip’s).

And this wide layout would be used for all the other pages, excluding the main page.

I’ve even went so far as to doodle out my layout ideas. Hopefully I’ll have this finished, sliced and ready for dreamweaver soon.
