As Promised, the Art Show

I figure the best way to do this is by way of pictures. So, here. Have at it.

The Countdown Continues

Less and less time for me to accomplish what I need to, and yet, it makes me want to do things even less. Last night, I completed Space Bird's habitat (see figure above, also note that it is not photoshoped, all effects are in camera (I love our new camera)), so that was something. Otherwise, I've been very much slacking. I'd try to keep this up, but it would lack humor, entertainment value, and productivity.

Gibberish tomorrow.

Where to Start...

There is not even close to enough time, from today until my trip on Friday, for me to get the things done that I would like to, too many arts and packing and homework. Bleh, I say. Bleh.

Yesterday, though, I constructed Space Bird's diorama, so he can be a floatin' for all eternity. It should be pretty cool. Maybe. I guess we'll see in the next few days as I finish putting it all together and get Space Bird mounted in his habitat. As with the other stages, I'll try to get some pics--which should be rather easy, as I ordered a spiffy camera over the weekend. Finally, my wife and I have stepped into the digital age.

That's about it for today, as I can already feel the weight of the day starting to crush me. Gibberish tomorrow. See you Wednesday.

The Continuing Saga of Space Bird

Here he is in all his painted glory. All things considered, I'm pretty excited about this whole venture. It came out better than I ever though possible. The only thing left is to build the diorama that he will live inside, floating forever in space. (Through his creation and my continued amusement by just looking at him, I think there is something wrong with my brain meats.)

Plus, I was mighty impressed with my friend's tiny camera (the top right picture is my favorite). That thing can take quite the picture once you get the settings where you want them. I shall purchase such an item--and soon.

As for the weekend, there will be lots more prep for our vacation. I still need to get things together so I won't miss a post while I'm gone--I will reveal a Gibberish surprise next week. Plus, I need to finish up a few more of my arts, as I won't have much time to work on such things while I'm on vacation.

Have yourself a super fine weekend, and I'll see you around on Monday.

Virus and Space Bird

Here be the bird what will float in space for eternity, Space Bird. This is just the earliest state, as it still needs to be painted and assembled--it has legs and a tiny space helmet (how else could it float in space?). Again, I'll try and post pics as the chronicles of Space Bird develop. (He is made from Crayola's Model Magic, which is both cool and crappy, in that it is easy to work with, lightweight, and has a nice texture, but it doesn't blend very well and shrinks some as it dries--which is almost too fast.)

As for the virus part of the title, I stumbled around the interweb yesterday, via Stumbleupon, but it took me to a site that simply downloaded a Trojan virus and restarted my computer. So that sucks, but it looks like our IT guys were able to get it taken care of, luckily.

More Christmas Gibberish tomorrow. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Happy Birthday to Me

I'm now closer to 30 than 20, and it's rather frightening. In many ways, I still feel like I'm 16, 17 tops. However, I know that if I was exactly as I was back then, I wouldn't be married, I doubt I'd have many friends, and I would probably get punched on a daily basis.

Bad news for the B-Day is that I have to work the whole day. No time off for me. Luckily, we already celebrated the day with tasty Indian food, a Rifftrax of The Matrix, and playing my newest video game, Samba de Amigo for the Wii (I've had it on Dreamcast for years.)

I have some good news in that I completed the sculpting of Space Bird--for my upcoming art show. I'll try and post a pic of the unpainted figure for Wednesday, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get my hands on a digital camera in time... (I know, here I am neck deep in the digital age, and I don't have even a trashy digital camera. Soon though, I hope.) Space Bird will soon take the world by storm.

Have a wonderful day, and check back tomorrow, as I kick off the start of Gibberish's Christmas themes.
