I just sent applications in to permanently close GhostCommode, TheSketchbookProject, and Deadpost

Update: The sketchbookproject and deadpost are both completely gone. GhostCommode was taking too long to be removed, so I decided to leave it up. I'll  try to jump start it for the hundredth time soon.

Likely

An animated online sketchbook! issuu.com/13colors/docs/sketch… Thanks liljeska for recommending the site. I sold a page of my sketchbook to a friend after posting this. In fact, that friend is also an artist who paints! Check out www.chrismelgar.com/. I'll be either updating or posting a new online sketchbook soon as I've drawn a bunch more things.

I missed out on the James & the Giant Peach contest, which I'm a little bit bummed about. I just haven't been in the mood to do something really big and intricate lately.

My PC has been fixed, and my laptop died immediately afterward.

Hello! I'm happy to have been painting lately and creating art. I didn't create much last year (compared to the previous years), so it makes me happy that I am now. My art is like proof that I'm alive.

I sold my first ever original drawing/painting recently. A friend of mine from high school asked me about buying one, and after playing a bit of internet tag, we got together and he bought Lunchtime In Candy Hills! Having sold an original piece of art has changed my perception of what I can do. I've never really tried to sell anything aside from prints on dA (of which I have sold a few, but not recently). It's like a spark.

I've been watching a lot of tv lately too. Stuff I watch the most is: Monk, My Name is Earl, Tosh.0, Important Things with Demetri Martin, Lakers, World Cup, and Metalocalypse.

I planted pumpkins recently. Once they sprout, I'm going to take pics each day and then create an animation(assuming they grow well). Aside from the houseplant I have in my room, I've never really tried to grow anything.



I have new playlists on my 8tracks too. So check em out if you need some music to listen to. Or even if you don't.

I reorganized a lot of the stuff in my room recently and found tons of sketches and doodles. I might start some kind of online sketchbook for all that stuff. Does anyone know of a place where I can load images into an animated looking book where people can flip the pages and see everything? I'm sure there's something like that out there.

Let me know how you guys are all doing. I haven't heard from some of you in a while. Keep creating art!
