Yeah! So I go out to pick up a bowl of soup and some crackers for dinner and I see a friend of mine. She’s getting her food wrapped up to-go and I ask where she’s off to.She tells me that Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, is speaking in a little bookstore downtown to promote his new book! Now, I either had two choices.. I could go back to my room and eat my soup while watching Wheel-of-Fortune (some idiotic American game show where people guess the letters of a message for money) since my roommate commandeered the computer OR I could go see Woz. NATURALLY, anyone would have chosen the latter.

So we drive over to this rather dumpy looking bookstore near a liquor shop (lol, had to add that in for dramatic effect) and we find chairs close enough to be able to make a dash to the book-signing area when he finishes speaking. He’s a very interesting and funny guy. He talked about his history with Steve Jobs and the troubles he had finding money to fund his education and such..and the hilarious pranks both of them did. So, after an hour, he finishes. I stand in queue with my friend and we’re only about 7 people away from him. I WISH we had a camera because then I’d have proof, but you’ll have to take my word for it. Well, he signs my friend’s book (I would’ve bought a book but: 1. I’m low on money 2. They were sold out) and we tell him all sorts of nice and friendly things like, “Ohh, we enjoy Apple products and such..blah blah blah”. I mean, what else can you say? But, yeah, fun experience considering I had an altogether shitty day.

I shook his hand. Therefore, if you shook my hand..you’d be shaking his hand. Shake my hand. Now.

New photomanip. I had a lot of problems with it yesterday so I left it alone for a while. I like it though. I should make more grunge manips. I LOVE that stone bridge in the back. The whole thing looks pretty good. Even the scary I’m-gonna-eat-your-face woman. You can see it here on my dA account.
Now then, I’ve been thinking about making a tutorial on photomanip, but if you know a little about it..you’ll know that it’s very hard to cover the whole style. So I’ve been wondering if people would rather have tuts on Grunge, Fantasy, Dark, or Surreal photomanip or actual tips on it.

I’m working on making Creepy a sig a la Rayman’s Raving Rabbids. I’m ummm having trouble painting the actual rabbits, but we’ll see how this goes.

Weirdly, it makes me moderate comments on here and I don’t know how to make it stop. I accidentally marked Nubish and Chief Snake’s comments as spam. Help! My blog is broken-ish.

OH. No worries, I fixed it.

There shouldn’t be any more issues.

For my headache and for art. I’m currently just looking at Wacom since they’re most reputable, but I think I rather keep an eye out for other medium-priced tablets. I think if I find a good one, it’ll be my birthday present. But supposedly, my gift was going to be a trip to Russia. Yeahh, not sure if I would call spending 9 days with my relatives a holiday. Plus, if I do go I rather it be not by myself. Anyway, back to the point– graphics tablets. I won’t be needing a huge one, 4×5 or 4×6 will be just fine..but I don’t want any fruity colours like “dark blue”. Either silver or gray. I hate using this laptop mouse, it’s seriously hurting my hand. I can’t wait for the day when I can actually draw my art. It’ll help as I move away from photomanip and toward digital painting and airbrushing.

IF you’re reading this and you have some knowledge on tablets, comment here and give me good advice.

Here’s what I’m looking at right now:

Look what I’ve done! I decided to follow suit and get a blog of my own. Thank you, Shane, for making this for me. I’m not sure what to do though. I think I’m making a post right now. There are so many links..and codes. I’ll figure it out. Anyhow, I shall post all sorts of things here. I’ve had a lot of ideas recently and I find myself thinking, “OH, I could blog this!” Well, now I can.

If you’re reading this and you have a blog, leave a comment and I’ll put you in my links! Well, I most likely will unless something bad happens to me or this blog. But for your sake, I hope all goes well.
