The Random Spotlight

and


The Blurb

So I'm eating these off brand cheetos. If I chew on my left side, they taste like the name brand. If I chew on my right side, they taste generic. I knew with so many things wrong with me, something had to be screwy in my mouth, too. Oh well.

I played a Wii for the first time this weekend. Played Zelda: Twilight Princess. Was way fun.

I'm going to buy a Wacom Graphire4 6x8 USB Tablet. The cheapest I've found so far is $169 plus $10 shipping. My digital art is coming along, and I want to start with coloring/drawing type stuff, so a tablet is necessary to do it on this laptop. If anyone wants to help with price hunting, I need as cheap as possible. I really considered getting another brand of way more cheapness, but after extensively researching each, the user reviews tended to be more negative than positive, so I'm going for the gold, literally. Wacom's should be made of gold as much as they cost. I could get a 9 x 12 Adesso for the same price as the Wacom, but I really do want something worth investing in for the long haul. *sighs*

My life is a bit poopy at the moment. Yes, it's Christmas, and I'm loving "the spirit," but my mood just doesn't work around the holiday schedule. I hope life gets better soon, it's been a bit of a bummer.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a spiffy rest of the time! :mistletoe:


Something I Ask You to Consider

I've been thinking about engaging in submitting prints of my photography. Not really to make money, but rather to make some of the good stuff available for anyone that would want it. From that I want to do some nice and professional photoshop mounting. I need ideas for styles and such. Posting links of any good style would be much appreciated. Also, I can't even do prints til March when I turn 18. lol

Goodies

Kiriban set to 500, 1500, 2500, 5000 page views. Submit a screenshot for an art [limit 15" x 20" illustration board], photography [limit 8" x 10" print], or writing request [limit brief prose or poetry, mounted in illuminated style 8.5" x 11" page] that will be finished and mailed to you as well as posted on here in your honor. If you get a 501, 502, etc page view, take the shot and submit it anyway just in case the "winner" is a doofus and doesn't realize it. The cut-off for that is 10 page views after the kiriban. E-mail me the screen shots. Requests will be completed within one month.
I will soon be making a journal/list organizing links to my deviations. How sweet is that?
See something you'd like a Creative Commons License on? Just ask me, I'd be happy to make something in my gallery available for you to experiment on. I also save my photoshop works in psd format, so I can send you that so you can have the image more accessible.
