i dig it! reminds me of my own paintings. I haven't done anything that good digitally yet though.

how crazy is painter? I trip on how you can turn a photo into a layer and just start sliding the colors around, Or do your blending on a top layer without touching the bottom layers. The water colors are a trip too. I've been playing with it a fair bit, but every time i start something i think OK I wanna do something digital looking, but then I end up copying my oil style, but it just looks like... a bad oil painting.

I have all day off tomorrow. I'll try and do something worth posting.

I know what you mean about cheating, but I've always thought digital art was just that. I have a mental division between digital and traditional art. It's too easy with digital, and it's basically a tool so I've never cared how the images are created, just how they end up. With traditional art, i'd be disappointed to find out someone used a projector or something unless it's political art or a statement of some kind that doesn't require technical skill.

Let me know if you find any cool tricks in Painter. So far I've mainly been using the smeary bristle spray, without any blending tools. I kinda like that one.

That's. Fucking. Cool!

This is today's journal entry. It is not the fastest journal entry, but it'll keep up. It is not the toughest entry, but it can stand up for itself. It's not the smartest entry, nor the best looking. It can't rotate it's own tires or fillet a sturgeon. It has never seen Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, and probably won't. This journal entry has never been...

I never come nearer'n to shootin me a squirrel than I done yesterday.

Normally, I fall into the category of non-killer. Unless you count insects and vegetation, I am not likely to be caught ending lives.

But yesterday, my roomate decided he'd had it up to here with the squirrels.

We live on an orange grove: my friend Tim, his girlfriend, myself, two cats, two...

Ha ha! Varmints! I used to watch my father and uncles shoot squirrels out of trees when I was growing up. And when I was older my brother and I would try to take them out with a slingshot. He's much better at it now, since I gave it up years ago and he's been practicing all this time.

And yeah, getting laid is easier said that done. But when you are two and a half years into a relationship with someone, and you live together, getting laid ought to be as easy as saying so. Emphasis on "ought to be."

There was a time, during my pre-adolescent Beavis phase, where no animal life whatsoever would dare to venture within the boundaries of my backyard.

I'm not like that anymore, I don't even kill spiders, but for a while it was like William Munny with a Red Ryder, harbinger of doom dispensing air-powered genocide for small woodland creatures.

Taxi Driver was just on. I watched most of it because the Lighting got their asses handed to them. I realized I knew every word, and there seemed no reason to watch it, but I just couldn't help myself.
It is one of the best films ever. It is hilarious and pathetic, has a kickass soundtrack and it's so, so violent. What movie can beat...

Do it for the cerebellum!

How do you get your artwork into the computer? Picture or scan? They come out amazing. Also where in tampa are you? I grew up in seminole/largo area.

sorry for the lack of updates. I have been drunk.

Also, I did a whole shitload of yardwork. we laid down a patio in bricks, and trimmed a bunch of orange trees.

last night I had a wierd, vicodin-induced dream. it took place in either the 50's or 60's, and was a variety show for little kid celebrities. but it was celebrities from recently. it...

Dreams all around. Steve Martin at 10, that would have have been good. Was he wearing underware over his head?

Ya know I never got passed illustrator 8, and I think photoshop 5, but so far the painter 8 seems way easier to me. It's more enjoyable to use, actually from what I remember adobe always seemed like a chore to me, whereas this one seems more like goofing off. I guess previous versions were more of a pain in the ass. The latest adobe kicks ass I'm sure, but I had to take price into consideration. You should give it a try for sure.
