Another Torso Decoration for You, and One for Me!

Wow, four weeks, four shirts posted to my Etsy shop! So far, I'm sticking to alternating between a PMD related shirt and some of my other designs, we'll see how long that holds up, especially as I get through the existing designs and start generating new stuff. I actually didn't tweak this week's design at all. It's a simple, bold, graphic image that I am still fairly happy with, so I decided not to muck with it. Here's what I had to say about this image in the Etsy posting: This image is clearly inspired by famous Japanese

A NEW Awesome Shirt of Awesomeness for Awesome People!

Another week, another shirt! But first, some other stuff... I was a bit ahead of the game last week, having managed to stick to tweaking and uploading a new shirt and having completed multiple IPMDT panels a day for several days, so I decided to get distracted with another project: my ultimate survival wool blanket coat. I have always thought it would be cool to make my own clothes, and not just putting my art on shirts. I remember thinking how cool it was that my memere was a seamstress and she would either alter clothes or flat out

Torso Decorations!

Hey, there. 'Sup? Oh, me? Not much, other than I FINALLY GOT MY FLIPPIN' ETSY SHOP UP AND RUNNING!!!!!! I know, right? Keep your ears peeled for the pounding hoofs of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. But until they arrive, you can finally BUY something from me. It's a weird thing, selling stuff (or trying to). I've always struggled with the concept of applying a monetary value to the things I create, because at the end of the day, I'm going to create them regardless. It's that whole artist compulsion thingy. However, I can rationalize that it takes

Gallery Update: THE ART OF STAR WARS (the Klondike…)

I'm alive! You didn't believe me when I said it before, several times, over on Face Book, did you? But I wasn't lying. I am, indeed, still alive. And, I've made some significant changes to the site! Whadaya think? Aside from some cosmetic changes in a few spots, the two biggest alterations were made to the PMD Brainisms and everything that is IPMDT. The Brainism image is now interactable (I don't care what you say, spellcheck, that's a word)! You can swipe left and right with your mouse to view some of the previous Brainisms (though not the original

Gallery Update: Stuff and Things

Creative title, right? Can you tell I’m tired and worn out? It’s been a challenging few weeks since our son’s diagnosis. He’s doing fine, by the way. We are all adjusting to the new normal, though I feel like I’m struggling to get back into some kind of routine. I’m hopeful things will smooth out even more next week. I’m currently visiting family and making good use of the new iPad Pro to finish this site update that I started earlier today before the chaos that is packing and prepping for a weekend away. I’m really loving this new device,

Attack of the Life

Well, I blew my streak of consecutive weekly posts last week. There was a very good reason, though: LIFE! But first: ART. Back in June, my brother's family dog, Tweed, passed away. He was 15 years old and had been struggling with several health issues for many years, it's kind of amazing he lived as long as he did. In fact, the reason he did is because of the love and care my brother and his wife gave him. I know they were understandably both really broken up about his passing, my brother especially. Tweed couldn't have asked to be
