New Year

Posted on January 8, 2012 by admin

And it’s 2012!
I really need to have that party–you know, the “the world isn’t really gonna end, so let’s take that silliness and have an end of the world party just because”? Seriously.

Random facts from the 2011 end-of-year inventory saga (which is ongoing):

-I purchased 3,000 button shells last year. Good lord.

-Price estimation for necklaces is nearly impossible when you don’t always know the value of the beads in question; good thing the IRS mentions “any reasonable method” of estimating item cost. Gonna do some calculating and averaging and come out with a standard (and the exceptions).

Blank Space Gallery Exhibit (Update)

Posted on November 23, 2011 by admin

The Blank Space gallery has been hung and opened! I had a lovely evening talking to various people about making art with something as abstract as math. A couple pieces sold to people who showed up the first night, which makes me really proud.
Pictures below the break; updated with some nice clean pictures.

Post-Con

Posted on November 14, 2011 by admin

Back from Shadocon. It was a lot of fun–I don’t know what it is, but large Tampa-area conventions are some of the friendliest I go to. It’s been a long time since Otakon, and I had friends there; but over on the coast, I get into a lot of random conversations and generally enjoy the time spent sitting tables.

Things Learned:

This weekend I’ll be away at Shadocon in Tampa. If you came here from my card, hi! I have an Etsy which will be reinstated after I get back and I take custom orders.

Photoshopping Elements

Posted on October 26, 2011 by admin

Preparing images and elements for use in an Aftereffects graphic.  Having work is amazing.
As always, I’m finding that usually chintzy layer effects can look really nice when you use them judiciously.

Something to go behind the text and in front of some other moving colors.

Sundays at Sam Flax

Posted on October 25, 2011 by admin

I’ll be showing off my new crop of magatama (and a lot of art) at Sam Flax on Colonial.  It might grow into a good event–not many people come by, but those who do are interested in what I have, and curious.  The other vendors are also fascinating.  One of them this Sunday was an architect major making mini houses~

In other news, I’m going to Shadocon~  A space opened up, so I’ll be in Tampa sooner than normal.

Artwork for conventions

Posted on October 7, 2011 by admin

I will be heading out to the Crystal River CGA con and have decided to roll out some of my art pieces to go with the magatama and buttons.  I still would like to get my more relevant ideas done, but I’m proud of a couple of these~

Fractal Roundup

Posted on September 19, 2011 by admin

Working on fractals with colored backgrounds.  I would like to be able to alter the way fractals color themselves–flames rely on a dark-to-bright mapping scheme, which shows up well on black, but would look horrid on, say, beige.  Since businessy/interior design-y work is often mellow, I’ve been experimenting.  These are still bright, but a start.
