After illustrating for a few days and coding for a few more my new layout is FINALLY finished. I also integrated widgets into Wordpress now, and found a way to still use a dynamic sidebar with them Anyways, the old layout was up for about a year I believe so it was about time for a new one! This one features me, but a chibi version of myself and the things I love (art, gaming, and my iPhone).  I’ll probably continue to edit the sidebar over the next few days until I am completely satisfied with it. Also, there’s some errors that I am slowly but surely trying to fix. Also going to start using tags instead of just categories.

Anyways, yesterday a friend from work got married and it was a beautiful wedding. It was also done in a lodge that’s near a river (which I have been to before) so naturally I took a few photos with my iPhone.

Currently working on a master copy painting in my painting class and creating a product in my print design class, so once I have more done with each expect lots of photos

I forgot how much I enjoyed to pixel About a week ago I was thinking of re-designing some smilies for the site since the ones I was using and had for download were pretty old, well last night I did. I really like how they turned out and I am currently using the multi-color set :D! Below are all of the sets available, and I was thinking of doing more (maybe ones with speech bubbles, some animated) and maybe add a few more emoticons to the sets

They are available for download here Let me know if you use them, would love to link those who do And if you have any suggestions for the current set or another set let me know Also only made them in a few different colors, but feel free to request a color.

I’m a horribly distracted person. My days consist of lots of “I should blog today” or “hey that vlog I was going to do 5 weeks ago yeah I should do that” … it doesn’t happen. I got Fable 3 this week and have been playing it on the xbox. School work = distracting (but in a good way I guess?) and of course lots and lots of World of Warcarft :D! But, I thought I’d blog before my next class to show what I have been making in my classes! Personal note ~ work is good, family is good, boyfriend and I broke up over a month ago, and I already met someone else. Woot. On to the artsy stuff!

I don’t have anything from my figure drawing class because all of my work stays in the classroom in my huge sketchbook so I’ll have photos of those at some point.

Graphic Design 2

This class is also about typography and one of our recent projects was creating a font! In the spirit of Halloween I made a font I call “A Bloody Mess”. We had to at least do the main alphabet and it’s an actual working font which is installed on my laptop I’ll slowly post the rest of the projects here too

Digital Photo Imaging

We use a film camera but we edit images in photoshop. Image below was 2 projects ago, we had to mess with shutter speed (either fast or slow) and I experimented with a slow shutter speed to make images look ghostly. Below are two of the images of me in a graveyard (don’t worry, I wasn’t dancing on the tombstones or anything!) Click each image for a larger view on my Deviant Art account.

My next project for this class is where we have to have about 10 prints, and for mine I am going to make a graphic novel/Sin City thing to it. A friend and her boyfriend are going to help me out and I am going to make it look like he’s killing her I’m excited for this one! I shall try to blog/post as the project goes along because it’s a month long process.
