It’s been sometime since i’ve done any aftereffects work, it’s that tool that’s sitting in the back of the shed — neglected and malnourished — but still cherished. In the future, I plan on feeding this starving skill more often.

Launch Day.
I will be launching my one-page on friday, if all goes by schedule. Most of the coding and perpetration work is finished, and all that’s left is actually doing the work. The Javascript and browser compatibility has been somewhat of an issue, so far. At launch, it will not be 100% compatible with all platforms and webkits, but in the next few weeks i’ll be fixing all of the errors I’ve come across. So far, I’m 100% w3c verified, but that may change as I work on my XHTML. Just a few more days and everything should be working smoothly on the site, and this blog (i still have some CSS errors I need to fix, and I need to clean up my scripting. I can script rather well, but i’m still not a certified scripter – so somethings do take longer for me to figure out. I’m getting there. Here’s some sketches to tide you over. More after cut.
Remembering Music.
It’s been a long time since i’ve played a show with my band, and i’ve been sort of craving some musical expression. I’ve been playing music since I was very young, and I thought that it would be my career as I grew older. Little did I know that I would end up being a graphic artist, and putting my musical past behind me. But I haven’t lost touch with the way I grew up. I don’t go a day without playing my guitar, and my musical library grows bigger by the week. But I just want a new experience that I can call my own, and to write music again would be marvelous. My style of playing guitar and bass has changed so much over the past few years, and I find it difficult to connect with my past “musical allies” in the same way anymore. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing better than playing a sweaty, fast, loud, grinding punk-show screaming at the top of my lungs. And I long for that. But, I want to experience something new musically.
I think i’ve decided to try to write music again, so I’m looking for someone to sing songs with me. I just want to jam, and write music; draw and make pictures. Is that too much to ask for? Maybe I should just be content with one of my vices, and not open myself up to all of them. In any situation, i still will play my guitar daily, and listen to my new tunes with great gusto. And when i’m done with that — i’ll start drawing until my hands fall off can’t take anymore.
I think i’m in love with too many things.
Sketch Blog — not.
While i’d like to think that this is more than just a sketch-blog. From time to time, that will be all it seems, but to the casual reader beware – there is a more indepth side to this. I have a purpose for this blog — it may be somewhat covert as of yet, but it won’t will surface eventually.
A New Start
While this may be a freshly designed and re-coded blog, the ideas I set to use on my old one are still here. This is not a mere link-dump, or image blog— it’s more of a collection of my ideas, inspirations, sketches, processes and rants, all thrown together in an easy to read format (or at least I hope it is). My thoughts may be jumbled at time, all depending on how late I get to writing, but it isn’t really the coherency that is important, it’s more about my ideas.
Since this is the beginning, and for those of you who have started reading somewhere down the line, and would like a bit of resolution into who I am — let this next paragraph server as that indefatigability.
