I got a new toy.  Painter x3 and a Wacom tablet.  I have started to play with and learn both.  It is exciting to learn a new way to create art.

2009

2 min read
Happy New Year to everybody.  I have reflected on 2008 and envisioned the possibilities of 2009 much like I suspect many of you have.  

To me, 2009 is a year of new beginnings.  I have moved on from one phase of life and now start a new one.  I look forward to the second career about to get underway and the challenges it brings.  New starts, even if they are just brought about by the flip of a calendar page, have always excited me.  The promise, the opportunity, and the hope that a full rich life brings should be enjoyed and today is one of those days that you can, no matter what your circumstance.

I'm not one for resolutions for to me they generally are failure goals.  Yes, I would like to lose some weight, most of us would.  I hope I do, and will work at it, but it will not devastate if I don't.  I do want to do more with my art hobby.  Hopefully time away from home for the company, will give me some more free time to pursue it.  I really would like to start and learn how to digitally paint, and the new paycheck should help make that a reality.

I'm still doing my other hobby of blogging about the Minnesota Vikings and hope next fall to take the family to their first game.  Between the two hobbies, the new career and family, I expect a rich year of memories and enjoyment.  I wish that upon all of the Deviant Art family.  Though my stops are infrequent, your art is always in my heart.  Happy New Year everybody!

It has almost been a year, and a lot has gone on and still is.  I've dealt with my Dad passing and all the running back and forth to Chicago during the time his health was turning south.  He was a good man, but not one that I agreed with all of the time.  We had our differences but we also had our loves.  He had introduced me to the love of football, playing it, coaching it, loving my favorite pro team [different from his of course], and to now writing about it for the last four years or better.  That will always be a part of me and every time I see the number 28 [his college] number, I'll smile and think of him.

Just like my friend Griff13 did a while ago, I'm about to roll into a new phase of life.  Things are just as hectic and my art isn't seeing as much time as I'd like.  There never is.  However, with my stimulus check on the way, I plan on treating myself to a new set of pens or two and maybe some Bristol paper.  I just bought a pad of news print, because for some reason, I just love the feel of ballpoints on it.  It has a sensual feel just like a beautiful woman.

It getting time for the day [in this case night] job.  I must get ready.  I promise not to be so long in writing next time.  In the mean time, check out my latest doodle arts.

It has been a while and I'm in the mood for a rant...

I've been having computer issues and now I have to use my kids.  I will try in the near future to Frankenstein together my laptop into a working condition.  Without it I don't have access to my scanner.

Work has blocked Deviant Art from accessable sites to view.  Just the man keeping us down.  It was nice while it lasted, and made slow night shifts a lot more enjoyable.

I've been dabbling at my art and not finished anything.  I need to do it, but have been busy at work and at home.

Had oral surgery yesterday and my mouth is still sore.

I know I have mountains of work waiting for me at work after a couple of weeks of vacation.  Speaking of which, the first week getting some sort of rash that is still lingering around.  Won't it just go away?  Then the second week down to my home state of New Mexico was way too short of a trip, one that didn't go quite as I hoped.  But over 2 weeks off from work must have its benefits..., oh yeah, I'm broke until payday.

Thanks for the rant.

Shifts

1 min read
It is late in a long night shift and I'm getting tired.  The only benefit is that it is slow and it hasn't been that way for a long time.  It allows for more browse time.

Dayshift is coming in acouple of weeks, and the flip flopping will end for a couple of months.  Sleep, steady sleep, in the dark, it lures me.

My pillow is calling...
