Well I guess this business with my eyes is related to the weather. Seems skin condition worsens in the cold months. I won't complain about this again because I can actually treat it- and I'm not blind yet thank God.
Been drawing a lot the last little while and taking the odd photos...just finished reinstalling my entire operating system due to having a virus in my e-mail program.
Now some people will say in a whiny voice: "You should find the root of the problem rather than reinstall" often forgetting ( or ignoring ) the fact that reformatting a hard drive and reinstalling the O.S. cleans out the entire system. It's lots of work backing stuff up and then putting all the programs and hardware back in but I'm rather well experienced with that and the only thing I forgot to do was back up a week of calender dates- not that there was tons to say!

I might/most likely have a job starting next week- I will wait a bit before commenting further on that. Hope folks are doing well. :)

Eyes

Mon Oct 12, 2009, 10:10 PM
I just started drawing again not 3 days ago - a couple of portraits of Star Trek characters. On Saturday my eyes felt strange in the evening- like sleep clogged but worse- like lumpy...I had to go to bed early.
Sunday evening I felt a pain in the right eye and found that the skin was cracked in the right corner.
Tonight the same thing is starting to happen in the eye lid of the left eye.

I'm too pissed off to really cry about this. I think I will have to see a skin specialist soon- I can't have this psoriasis/eczema shit blinding me...I had just got on top of the usual break out spots with an herbal remedy but dealing with the eyes is a different matter. I suppose I will treat it like I treat the rest till I find a doctor. Utter bullshit. I apologize for venting but I really need to vent about this.
A year or two ago I was conversing with someone else who has the condition on his eyes...I was so glad that that wasn't where I had skin issues.

Idon't even know why such a thing must exist in this day and age...but that comedian on t.v. today said something ironic: the company that makes the delicious chocolate cakes that he is addicted to is owned by the same parent company that owns the pharmaceutical company that manufactures his diabetes medicine. The medication for his sugar issues is owned by the same people whose product contributes to his sugar issues. ha ha. not funny at all.

general update

Sat Oct 10, 2009, 6:29 PM
Just a brief update before I post some more pics- fixed my web site so that there is just one to deal with- all the art and photography is on one site. It was such a bother having 3 sites in an attempt to focus on specialties and not appear cluttered but I think it's better now.
Simple links to all the things I do: photography, traditional art, digital art, photo manips, tutorials etc. Out on the internet there is so much room to put all your stuff- unlike the real world where my identity of Artemis Graphics And Design has now been usurped by my photography identity.
I've just done up new business cards based on the same design I made up for my magnetic car sign...focusing on local subject matters for the most part yet open to all types of photography.
I'm drawing a bit more again and trying the water colour again on the side...I might actually post that painting of Damar ( Star Trek character ) if it turns out reasonably well- lol. We shall see- water colour and me are not good friends.
There will be a community art show in a few months so I want to have something ready for it- traditional art. Maybe I'll startle people by submitting alien portraits!

Anyways, fall is beautiful out here even if there are not red maple trees and I better get started on selecting some pictures to post. Hope everyone is having a good ( long ) weekend. :)

Default friending is not cool

Tue Sep 22, 2009, 10:55 PM
We all know the lovely 'friends' page where you supposedly get to pick and choose what you want to know about the activities of people on your watch list.
I've said it before and I will say it again: IT IS NOT COOL FOR DA TO AUTOMATICALLY "FRIEND" EVERY PERSON YOU CHOOSE TO "WATCH".
Why even put check boxes there when they try to force the decision on you in the first place. I don't know how many times I've had to clear checks off the list because changes didn't stick and now almost every category is checked by default except for scraps.

I 'watch' just under a hundred people and I don't appreciate this system at all.
Some people I have been friends with for a few years and I (want to ) watch their artwork ( deviations ) and journals- I would even watch their scraps but the decisions I make in those check boxes don't always stick so the less I watch the better.

Other people I only want to see their artwork- nothing more and still other people aren't artists but they have interesting journals and that's what I would like to read.

And NO, I don't want to see ANYONE'S critique of another's work. That's checked by default too. The way it works it seems as if DA has been trying to force the world into accepting an automatic 'friending' as perfectly acceptable social networking. They could learn a lesson from Facebook which takes the opposite approach. This is one of the reasons why I loose track of people because I have to unclear all the boxes in frustration that got checked when I hit the 'watch' button which to me still means I want to watch this person by the most obvious means- via their artwork and not from all the other stuff that clutters up the inbox.
It annoys me coming to this site.

Fall Fair

Tue Sep 8, 2009, 11:07 AM

The fall fair in Merritt has come and gone and the photographs I put in got quite a few ribbons. Needless to say I'm pretty happy with that! :)
We also had a rodeo on the same weekend which was exciting as usual- I will have to post some photos once I get them sorted out...
I have my main site which contains photos I'm marketing as stock as well as local events photography...then I have my art based site which contains tutorials as well as showcased personal favorite of mine...then the new site which is supposed to archive my film based photography and market myself as a photographer but it's getting to be too much.
I simply have to streamline the packaging of the content because it's becoming too massive and the web host for the images doesn't let you change names so...blah blah blah boring you!

Anyways, here it is Artemis Graphics And Design in it's bare-bones format.
