2010.

As this interesting decade comes to an end, many find themselves reflecting back upon these last ten years and as usual more importantly this past year in particular. However, though that is not necessarily a bad thing, it's more important to focus on the future. This is a new start. Start dreaming. Dreaming big. Bigger than the universe. Think limitless, no boundaries.

This new year also brings in many new changes to the site. Every single page on the site has been altered, even if it is just a little detail. I'll let you all search for those on your own but the more important new features I would like to mention include:
-New Home Page Image
-New Banner (yes, the photo in the background is mine)
-New photographs up on both Photography sections
-New mug up under Merch An Dice
-New newspaper cartoon up under The Twilight Zone

Also, as I touched upon in the previous post, expect the unexpected from I.D. in 2010. I'll leave it at that.

Well, I'll finish with a toast. Here's to 2010, sure to be an incredible year filled with good times, memories, and happiness.

After I made the Halloween post the other day, I decided to do a canvas. I haven't done a canvas in a really long time after such a long run of them (mostly last year). Well, I'll actually delve into this matter briefly. The reason I did this was because I wanted to try new mediums and experiment with other options, cross current boundaries if you will. That's important, not just to art but to anything you do or life in general. Always try new things and experiment for you should realize that if you put your mind to something there are no boundaries to what you can truly achieve. Your imagination is powerful enough to detonate any walls or obstacles in your way.

Enough rambling, back to the point of this post. The canvas is based off of one of my personal favorite Halloween shows/episodes. The episode I am referring to is It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. To me it is a classic Halloween episode. Anyway, in one of the scenes, when Linus and Sally are waiting for the "Great Pumpkin" on Halloween night, Snoopy arises from the pumpkin patch. For some reason, I just liked the visual from this stopped capture..

..and decided upon trying a spoof of it. Posted below is the final product. Pretty happy with how it came out. Hope you all enjoy as well.

Well, there's some new site additions and changes. Here they are..

• There's a new banner (background cloud photo by me as well).
• There's a new image and quote on the home page.
• The photography section is now separated into vertical photos and horizontal photos. I also posted some new photos in each and made some changes to some of the older photos as well.
• The artwork section now has a new look for the links to each different section (different font). Just click the words to visit each section (just like before).

Hope you guys like the new look of the site. A new character post is also coming within the next week hopefully, and if not, definitely by the week after. Stay tuned & stay well everyone!

(P.S. All the photos I post on the blog, ex. the one above, are all taken by me unless I state otherwise.)

I can't believe I haven't updated in over a month. Between traveling, school, and other things I've been really busy lately. That is no excuse though, and I will be updating more frequently now. I have a batch of photos I am going to post fairly soon that I am currently sorting through and editing. Anyway, I will provide you guys with a look into upcoming additions to the website.

Photography - I have a new way of going about my photography. Though I have always tried to take unique and original shots (and of course I will still continue that), I am also incorporating a few new concepts. The photos will now be a bit more abstract, and some might take some thinking for you to see what the photo is really of. I will now be editing the photos even more heavily to make art out of the photo. I'm quite happy with how they have been coming out so far. I'd like to also thank a photographer (to be named later) for constant inspiration. He also does basically the same concept idea I mentioned above (where I got the inspiration for this new idea) and is honestly my favorite photographer.

Artwork:
Arsenal Of Characters - I have to add Dumingo in the AOC section. However, I also have two new characters brewing who I am currently working on to make better. Look for them fairly soon..

Canvases - I haven't been really doing much canvases lately, as I'm experimenting with different methods instead. However, I might be doing a canvas with a friend within the coming months so if that happens, I might post it.

Actually I am also in an ongoing collaboration with Art Spellings. That won't be completely finished for a while though, so more information on that at a later point. If you want to see the start of it, I think I posted a picture in either Canvases or The Twilight Zone.

Merch An Dice - I definitely have plans to work with more mediums, but I am still figuring out what exactly to try next. Look for a new wallet design up soon and there will be more over time as well.

The Twilight Zone - You never know what will come up in the Twilight Zone..stay tuned.

Traveling Ducks - Unfortunately, throughout my travels this summer I was unable to find a traveling duck card to bring with me or unable to make a new one, each time. Too bad, there would've been some good shots! Oh well. As for the future of TD, we'll have to see. I will try harder to definitely take one with me next time.

That's it for now..I have other plans for the future of I.D. as well. They will be revealed in good time..

Oh, by the way, make sure to check the website on October 1st! ;)

Best wishes to everyone. There are some teaser pictures below!
