Artwork Update

I have added some new additions to my Flickr. Thanks to a wonderful person I was able to acquire Photoshop once again. I have been doing some pinups for my portfolio. They are a mixture of some 2D and 3D artwork. Between adjusting lighting, posing people, composing the scene, smoothing and manually highlighting and shadowing in Photoshop it's a lot of work but well worth it!

Photography Update




I think my photos keep getting better. Mind you I am doing this with an iPhone! I took a little care in bringing out the colors in Photoshop, some of them were just so beautiful I didn't have to do anything to. I also uploaded larger images.

Ahhhhh, the Rain!



After an 8 day heatwave rain never felt so good. On my way out to the laundromat I simply stood on my porch in the downpour not caring how soaked my clothing got! I was completely drenched... Good thing I had some towels with me!

Damien snapped this lovely shot with my iPhone. I blurred out a little of the background. You can see a little bit of my car in the background.

It's the Bird!



Recently we have re-inherited my husband's parrot. The house he was staying in in CT is being sold and the person that was taking care of him was unable to keep him where he was moving so the birdie is now back with us.

His name is Canyou (Canyou shut up?!). He is a large yellow nape amazon parrot. Apparently these guys are endangered so its impossible to buy them anymore. He LOVES to talk and is quite a character. He even has arguments with himself in male and female voices. I will grab a video of him sometime for you because it's just way too funny!

He has some very luxurious accomodations. We acquired a six foot parrot cage off Craig's list for an unbeatable price of $180. He's got some great toys that he has already been chewing into shreds and gets spoiled with lots of fresh local produce. I'd say he's been pretty happy, especially judging by his behavior.

Blast from the Past



I'm not sure how old this photo is but it's probably from when I was around the age of 18 or so. Yes, I used to have red hair. I can't believe how skinny I was back then! Over the years you acquire a bit of extra fluff. It really inspires me to get back into the shape I used to be when I was younger.

The photography is by a good friend photography Mark Edwards. He is probably the only man on this earth besides my husband that I trust to do photography of me.

Flickr Update




Huge update on my Flickr yesterday. I finally got around to uploading more of the screenshots I never got the chance to, primarily of my character Ziebzen. There are some shots of other people in there from INSILICO as well.

The photo that you are seeing above is one of the ones I submitted for the Elixir Beach Bash Modeling Contest. Wish me luck! I love the clothes that they make. Also, the artist Khorus Magne is the one that designed the skins that I wear on my avatar. They are all beautifully hand painted.

Art Update



At the local Koi show one of my husband's pieces showed up on the leg of one of the members. It's always exciting to see our art pop up in different places, especially on people.



I also have a story called Residual Data that I have been working on. I've been doing some 3d photo pieces to go along with the story. I've uploaded them into a new album on my Flickr.
