I just got a new pc in; here are the specs:

AMD Athlon X2 5000+
2gb DDR2 800 Corsair XMS
ATI x1900xt
M2N-E mobo
Hitachi 160gb SATA II x1 (working on 3 others to get a raid set up going)
ViewSonic VP2030b (21 in)
Cooler Master CMStacker (full tower)
520w psu (Thermaltake Power Station... insane psu, great qualities)

Got it up and running last night so I have not installed all of my programs yet... just the essentials.

Hopefully, I will find some time to do some artwork in the not to distant future. I need to get some things off my chest first!

CUSOON!!!~

Hi.

Been working alot in Cinema lately and with Innate Media Group. I have been making alot of animations for them... (which I am not allowed to show anyone until they are officially and legally released to the public). It kind of sucks b/c the work that I have done for them is some of my best and I am not able to share it with DA.

On a better note...

My determination has been up lately which is why I have been submitting more frequently.

Also, you need to check this photographer out... hes has a really good eye and he has emproved greatly since his first couple of shots! Here he is, my good friend both in real life and on DA... WCB!!!!

^{Yes I know... I am still complaining about being away from my girlfriend but it is not getting any easier! It has been just over a month now but it feels like eternity. I am going to see her this weekend though, which is amazing! Ill make this short... but I miss her so much!!!}

^{I am currently looking for a group(s) to become apart of. If anyone has a suggestion then please let me know. I have not started looking yet but I will begin the search soon.}

^{One particular artist I would like to take the time to mention is =VeritasCloud. His artwork is astonishing, especially for his age. His gallery is a must see for those of you who are into abstract, here is the link! I found him by browsing through deviations and his work definitely stood out among the others. He definitely has talent and he will definitely shine here on DA, so go give him some props!}

]]> ~BJ1 So here i am... http://BJ1.deviantart.com/journal/6304899/ http://BJ1.deviantart.com/journal/6304899/ Tue, 23 Aug 2005 08:51:26 PDT
So here I am all alone in St. Louis, which is only 5 hours away from home but seems like eternity. I have been here for almost a week now but only 2 days by myself. My parents and girlfriend (Emma) left sunday around noon so they could get back to Nashville, my hometown. I am not one to cry but sunday just wasnt my day. I cried from the time they left till that night when I went to sleep. If you have followed my work then you would know about Emma and what a huge impact she has had on my life this year. I feel so damn empty inside and want so badly to pack up and head back to nashville. There is a college there, Belmont, that is practically the same as the one I am currently attending. I dont know why I am here but the reason better show itself soon!

Just wanted to get that off my chest... I have been trying to keep myself busy as much as possible. I will be enrolling in Belmont for the spring semester, I cant go the whole school year like this its impossible. After taking care of my brother and going through all that turmoil... I dont want to do it again so I have decided to return to her and nashville. I want to go back now but my parents wont let me lol. Whatever, im done.

later

This artist is amazing! He is starting his own tattoo shop and actually got declined from other tattoo shops because he was too good and would take business away from the other artists!!!

I am helping him out by developing a site and maintaining his DA account. Although, he will be checking it as well, commenting and such. He has alot more images coming so go devwatch him so you can view them all! I just gotta finish scanning them in, lol.

Anyway, he is unreal and you should stop by to see what hes all about!!!

]]> ~BJ1 Take back DA! http://BJ1.deviantart.com/journal/6103436/ http://BJ1.deviantart.com/journal/6103436/ Mon, 01 Aug 2005 16:31:29 PDT
By now, you've heard that Scott Jarkoff, aka °jark, is now a FORMER Staff Member.

I'm not privy to the whys, wherefores, and whatever-the-hells are going on behind the scenes here. Don't ask me anything about that. I know probably just as much as you do.

DeviantArt, in my opinion, is becoming less about COMMUNITY and more about CORPORATION.

So what we need to do is bring back THE COMMUNITY.

Here's my suggestion.

On August 7th, DA turns five years old. Five years for a website like this should be a grand affair, one big event.

So don't submit anything on August 7th.

I'm talking a print, a deviation, a scrap...nothing.

Instead, just leave a comment. Visit a user's page and just say hi.

If someone wants to buy a subscription that day, I'm all in favor or it. It'll keep the servers going, and anything that keeps the hamster running is a good thing.

BUT...I think folks shouldn't buy any prints. No print subscriptions. That goes against the COMMUNITY theme for the day.

We want to put the COMMUNITY back into DA.

If you're in favor of this, if you believe in the power this COMMUNITY has, then join me. Post this in your own journal. Spread the word to everyone, with a and a .

We might be touting at windmills like Don Quixote.

But if enough of us do it, we might be able to remind everyone that this is a COMMUNITY first and foremost.

Join me. On August 7th, let's take back DeviantArt.

I have no idea why that messed up but it did, I thought I closed all the tags but i guess not... w/e.

I think I might start doing some 3D work...

But I dont know.

I like being indecisive.

If anyone wants to do a collab then send me a Note.

p.s. I suck at brushing

When I am making a piece I always have music going, and I always switch around between artists. For now my choice of music is Eric Clapton.

Wow... hes just awsome.

]]> ~BJ1 Black and White http://BJ1.deviantart.com/journal/4487573/ http://BJ1.deviantart.com/journal/4487573/ Thu, 03 Feb 2005 10:58:09 PST
When someone asks me to do this, or when i am browsing deviantART i try to look at two things.

One is the color scheme/layout. I comment on it accordingly then move on to the next item which is the shape and overall design of the piece, if there is one of course. Now to look at such a thing requires nothing but that shape, without color. Which brings me to my next point, what is Black and White art?

Black and White art is what that particular artist is feeling in raw format, with nothing attached. When I am making a black and white image, like my shield series, I concentrate solely on the shape of the piece, not the colors. This allows a brilliant shape or object to form and be completely exposed. I prefer using a black background to truly bring out what I am feeling... to expose every single minute detail of that emotion. So that everyone can see the true feeling inside of me. This gets it out of me and leaves it to da.

I define Black and White as emotions on paper. It is exactly what I am feeling/thinking about at that moment mirrored on my screen.

Art is and endless path of discoveries about anything and everything... its absolutely amazing. I love it! ]]> ~BJ1 Brushing http://BJ1.deviantart.com/journal/4475130/ http://BJ1.deviantart.com/journal/4475130/ Tue, 01 Feb 2005 20:45:19 PST
I am going to explore brushing though. I have looked at alot of different pieces around da and found alot of interesting ones that have very detailed brushing work. I hope to accomplish that type of detail and knowledge.

I am going to keep submitting pieces for my Shield seiries though, so stick around for those along with my brushing ones.

Enjoy.
