Best. Card. Ever.
I recently received this birthday card from my sister. I thought it was cool enough to share. The sad part is that she probably bought it off of the "cards for little boys" rack. And open:
Of Dying Dogs
I'll just get this straight up front - this is not a sappy tribute to our recently departed dog. Dexter was indeed an awesome dog, and we got him when he was a puppy: Although most folks would remember him in his natural habitat: He lived 10 years, which was several years beyond our expectations (Cavaliers are not the hardiest of breeds), and he had a good run. In the end, euthanasia was the best choice as cancer made him increasingly uncomfortable. I have no regrets. What did surprise me, and I have thought several times since that "I wish I knew that ahead of time," was the actual euthanasia process at the vet's office. We have awesome vets. Those guys are willing to do anything it takes to fix an injured…
Some Photoshop Fun
Also insipred by a convention photo op with Valharic during the Geeklabel days. Valharic was really generous in sending us a cool toy which sadly arrived after the last episode of Geeklabel Radio. Wracked with guilt, I took the following photo: And created this: It's not my best Photoshop project, but I was pleased with this overall. -kingfish
Comic Inking – Billy Flynn as Green Lantern
Billy Flynn (http://www.geekradiodaily.com/) purchased this bit of artwork at a convention we were attending during the Geeklabel days: I thought it was a good opportunity to experiment with comic book style digital inking. After adjusting some of the proportions (I thought the original looked to be about 3 ft tall), here is the final result. I was pretty pleased, although now that I see it on a black background I notice some glitches. -kingfish
Welcome
I've decided to break with my almost pathological need for privacy and share this tiny sliver of life online with whomever might find it interesting or entertaining. My one main goal is to create a repository for all the stuff that rolls around in my head. I have this odd notion that writing it down will create room for more stuff. I doubt that will be true, but I remain hopeful. This is not a single project, but a collection of projects. Some are merely thoughts or ideas, while some of them may actually see the light of day. The truth behind all of this is that I was tired of creating a new web site every time I had an idea. Enjoy. -kingfish
