Just working on finding a program I like.

To be honest I have just been studying typography all month.

Getting slowed the fuck down and thinking of making another good wallpaper.

Life is relaxing, yet boring.

It seems this whole week I have just been attempting to get it together, which has been going along quite nicely. The website as of now is taking a nap, although I had been planning to finish it at the beginning of march... it got delayed... and im pushing it off until the end of march.

I am learning a metric fuckton of ways to create content (still jumping into pearl and flash) but my css is getting really getting into the curb (more css3, javascript.)

Not to mention me taking a lot more time for my little projects and such I am working on (which is why I don't even post to DA, I don't have any time.)

Although:
I am still open for icon work and logos!

tl;dr: sorting shit out.
(p.s. I lied! I am actually doing about 5 irl projects including finishing my xbox 360 mod.)

Well, I just wanted you guys to know that I'm still alive despite the fact that my journal is rarely updated.

You can be expecting bigger and better things from me in the coming rest of the year.

checklist:
font [done] [link]
website [loading]
songbird skin [loading]

I have backups, I was just seeing how much I could corrupt it before it couldnt boot via various tests. Good thing for the backups I made beforehand!

needless to say, after switching and using ext4 file system very nice (with borat voice for emphasis)


also, the new layout screwed up a lot of how my layout looks, I need to re-upload some stuff like my devid.

still pretty though. ^_^

also, a ton of shit coming up ahead... a font, a cursor theme, a dock theme, a songbird theme and eventually... a small icon set.

but first... studying for exams!!! how fun *sarcasm*

not much to say right now, but stay tuned!!

Yes, so there is a decline in my recent productivity of deviations here on dA, but there is a good reason for this....
I am currently creating a skin for songbbird, at the time of writing I am probably 3/5 of the way done this skin or "feathers" as the program refers them to.

you can expect to see my quality of work increasing soon as well as my updates to deviations going down, but dont worry, I will be around just as much as usual and honing my skills to a more refined skillset.

So, I am pretty happy with how my deviantart logo turned out (including the alternative version)
just wanted to alert everyone that if it wins (the chances are against me, but I have hope)I will be getting a t-shirt with the logo on it or paying to have it laser engraved somewhere onto my laptop.

yes, I am a bit overexcited, but at least I want to do something cool with it if I do win (once again, I know I have a bit of chance against me, but I might manage to win)

one can always hope for the best, even in the presence of the worst.

anyway, I have had one hell of a weekend so far and have a lot to do tomorrow, may the typography be with you!!

this makes me raaaaaage. so, raster based imagery here we come!! (cries in corner)

and also, I really have been enjoying a group I havent quite listened to in a while, Jurassic 5.
pretty much one of the best hip hop bands ever together (too bad they arent doing stuff together anymore )

but hey, cut chemist aint that bad, quite good actually ^_^

hmm, I just need to find out when I can see some iTunes 8 skinning action. ^_^

I finally reached 100 deviations, and after having this deviantart account for quite a while I would say thats not really much.

After looking back over how bad my art used to be, and how much it was improved I must feel a slight sense of accomplishment.


so anyway, at the moment, I am working on a few things.
the main ones are:
my business card
my website
deviantart icon theme
finishing and packaging Industrious/Plainrice

also, the theme I am starting to work on ^_^

a lot on my plate at the moment but with the weekend coming up, I actually might get a lot more accomplished!

anyway, I just want to thank everyone for their support and give myself a pat on the back for getting OVER 9000 pageviews on my facebook icon set [link]

and a special shoutout to all my watchers and commentors/favpplz!

Expect to see my art get progressively better in the future!

but for now, may the pixels be with you!!! ^_^

well, its going to look kind of like that, except probably a lot messier.

I am sewing the whole damn thing by hand without any templates for the base.

its a pain in the hands, but it will look cute as hell when im done ^_^

although, I did switch my history class down to the easier one (just wanted an easy/easier semester ^_^)

but other than that, I just seem generally insecure and really bored, so, I need to get my crap done tonight and use flash on the school computers tomorrow to finish my bloody website.

that is all, other than that, I feel depressed because I feel as if everyone is ignoring me... oh well.

minirant, over.

peace out! may the pixels be with you!!

its pretty fun too!! the keyboard takes some getting used too but its pretty nice, so dont expect me to do much for a bit, as I may be too busy fooling around ^_^

though I am not giving up on using my big bad and burly desktop (512mb vram woohoo)

I am going to be less (or more) art productive for a bit

yey!!!!!

I am happy right now ^_^

the laptop I want is on sale (might be a price reduction, no real indication though)
I might actually be able to get my new laptop before school starts
bad news:
I am going to find out wether or not I will have enough money to buy my laptop tomorrow... wish me luck!

(other than that, I am working on 2 icon sets, a theme and a website)

time to get moving!!

Though I already know that he probably just needs an antibiotic.

also, I updated my website with a new "coming soon" splash page, and uploaded my full-name logo

pretty neat ^_^

anyway, school starts soon, I dont know wether it will be awesome or boring as hell... at least my first semester is easy ^_^ (math+history+art+commtech)

and my schedule will probably dictate me uploading more ranges of art in the fall and winter

so expect the unexpected by expecting a difference

that, and this nice, smooth cursor theme I have planned on making since... last week, I am probably going to at least wait until october or so, if I cant get my tablet by then, then I just buy a laptop, but by the looks of it, a tablet seems pretty possible right about now

I am also working on a theme for gtk/metacity (a theme for linux) and might port it to windows when I get it done (if I do)

I installed ubuntu about a week ago, and now I am longing to test out another linux distribution.

I am probably going to try the latest suse, fedora, mandriva (or was it mandrake?) or debian distro

cant wait to get my theme done ^_^

well, I have to search for jobs, thats what, I am going to resort to a design overload and start cleaning my room trying to sell and get rid of some of my old stuff.

so, wish me luck everbody, peace out!! ^_^

...in other news I am working on my DA site icon set which is being an incredible pain in the tailhole as a lot of my references are hiding (damn you slightly flawed site design)

and I am working on a 100+ layer vector wallpaper full of memes and the like, and my computer is lagging like hell, so I might need to wait until I get my laptop with 3 gigs of ram to finish it.

and also, I updated my avatar, theese things just pop right into my head, I keep getting all these great ideas for avatars and I cant really decide on which one I am keeping, oh well, the more the merrier ^_^

I am 1/4th of the way to my new tablet and probably 1/2 the way once I get my present (unless my present is the tablet pc)

but yeah, maybe I will be making an instructable soon, seeing as I really liked the style of my usb charger indicator graphics today, I might even have to make one with the firewire symbol as I got an old firewire ipod charger for about $5 today (that will work with my ipod thanks to my 3rd party dock with firewire)

and I will probably be making a few more logos of the style soon, just because they look so neat ^_^

peace out DA!!! ^_-

I stop, why am I answering this question with an answer that nobody needs to hear, where I am the only one who seems to understand, however, my veiwpoint from another's perspective is omniscient no matter how open I try to make it seem. My mistakes in your eyes are not visible to mine. People will try to spend their whole lives trying to find an answer to theirs only to have wasted it.

For I see and maybe you see, if you can feel what I feel and do as I do. Maybe you will have realize that life has no answer, for it is the answer, and the clues to the question are all around us. You may never figure out the question, but that if everyone understood the battle would be settled and existence would be nothing. Yet nothing drives us so how can that be?

If you could only realize what enlightenment really was than you would be sadly disappointed. As it is nothing more than a settled battle and the feeling of knowing everything, this feeling should be unwanted, but not avoided. To know everything is to be truly open minded.

To do as everyone does to feel as everyone feels.
To be One.
To be Nothing.
To be everything.

To be here.

Yet as you decipher this mysterious riddle with no true answer to oneself, I know the answer but I will never give it to anyone. For it is my own and shall never be known if fear, in cheer and with the answer always near.


The clues are all around you!!
