con appearances

Thanks to dv_girl it looks like I'll be sharing a table in the Artist's Alley at FurCon this February January.

What the hell is the going price for sketchbook stuff these days? No collection of markers on me, so no colors - but they'll likely be relatively polished and complete, not like the note-to-self stuff I post now and then. I can't remember how much I charged last time I did it, except that pretty much every satisfied customer said I should be charging more.

Also debating making and selling little sketchbook compilations. Probably not full image prints; getting those done is too much about guessing what people MIGHT buy.

Still thinking about doing the frou-frou sketchbook fill of weirdness auction project, too.

the year in review

Twelve first sentences from first posts. Except when they're not because it sounds better that way.

So we went out by Bill and Nat to do New Year's. I've promised myself I wouldn't post to LJ unless I had art to show for a while. I should be doing some late-night work; instead I flipped through a couple books on Matisse and Miro. Dear US Customs and Border Protection, thank you for your kind letter informing me that you have seized my shipment of female hormones, in which you offer me the choice of letting you destroy them, voluntarily abandoning them to you (after which they will be destroyed), or forward them to the FDA for destruction.

It's hooked to a universe of nothing but PURE CUTENESS! You'd better hope you don't wind up in the hands of the Norse gods when you die, because Loki is going to be seriously pissed at you for associating his name with so much stupid. AlmostVPN - a cute little ssh tunnelling app. I'm just sick of animation. I was gonna hack up some code to abstract out the different joystick arrangements and had a cute little autodetector going and all, but furshlugginer Blitz kept on giving me handles to old objects instead of new ones when I instanced new joystick descriptions. [voice post] Bunnies like to be counted!

little mac app of the moment

Doodim - dims everything but the frontmost app. Because sometimes you need to forget about other stuff. Much more simple in approach than the similar "Zazen", and free. Doesn't always catch every single context switch but it seems to get most.
