24 Hour Creative Marathon - Completion

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

I ended up getting both pieces completed…though the second is slightly sloppy, cause I couldn’t find a good solution to accurately get the text onto the canvas. Hung around and helped get things set up for the show that began at 8pm. We straightened things up, rearranged the couches, posted signs, and hung the artwork.
Around [...]

24 Hour Creative Marathon - Execution

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

I sketched 10 ideas and listed some 30 concepts then decided to head home for a bit to rest and freshen up. After about 4-5 hours of a nap/sleep, I’ve decided which idea I’m going to go through with. So far, I’ve gotten the base background painted in acrylic and now I’m waiting for it [...]

24 Hour Creative Marathon - Plotting

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

For me the first phase of the 24 hour Creative Marathon has been taking time to brainstorm and sketch ideas. Of course that’s the way I tend to do things anyway, but with a piece due no later than 6pm tomorrow, there’s a fair bit of work to do yet. Including deciding which idea to [...]

Graduation and the Rest of Life

Monday, September 17th, 2007

Since I last wrote, a lot of things have happened. First the hard drive in my Powerbook was able to be recovered with Disk Warrior, but only temporarily. Long enough to make it through Portfolio Review, but the next Sunday the drive really died. At least it doesn’t show up any more in Disk Utility [...]

Right On Cue

Monday, September 10th, 2007

So, the drive in my Powerbook seems to have died. I say it happened right on cue because all my projects were due today, plus I’m graduating so my portfolio CD is supposed to be done as well. I normally leave Mail.app up to check messages but sometime early Sunday morning I found it complaining [...]

Google Reader Updates

Friday, September 7th, 2007

I read yesterday on the Google Reader Blog (posted by some feed, don’t remember which) that they’d added some new features. I’d tried refreshing a few times and didn’t see them. Things like search (uh…Google, why wasn’t this there from the start?), better loading indicators, hiding the sidebar, and probably others I’ve forgotten.
But today, when [...]

One Week Left

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

I suppose if there were any time to panic, now would be the time to freak out. But I’m not planning to. I know that I have about four days to have the assignments complete for my classes, and probably about 2-3 weeks worth of work on various aspects of these projects that really should [...]
