I've been a bit quiet lately on the illustration front, a period of deceptive quiescence that will soon come to fruition! A major project/web experience created via collaboration with Luminarium artists will go live on midnight, Friday July 31, 2009 (PST) I'm speaking of EXPERIENCE THE PLANETS (ETP), the substance behind over two years of scheming, drawing, critiquing, and finally programming. The project will launch with four new pieces of my own and several others by additional artists. It's going to be good, people, and it's only the beginning.

Stay tuned.

Has anyone here bought an Intuos 4? If so I'd love to hear your thoughts on it -- Pros and cons. I work at the firm that designed it and was constantly trying to push the "artist" point of view in the process... how'd we do?

Does anyone here twitter? I'm sirgerg -- look me up and reply here as well if you are on it too. It'd be fun to gain further insights into the crowd here via microblogging.

I decided it was high time I got my photos all organized on my computer, and BOY did I have a lot of photos that never saw the light of day tucked away there!

It's almost cathartic to be able to delete over 10gb of ugly fat in terms of half-finished PSD files for photos that are already preserved in their final state elsewhere... I'm sure we've all had similar experiences with work-in-progress bloat.

Well I'm proving myself a liar about the lack of submissions here... can't be helped. My latest (Gorge Sunrise) is a revived piece from almost 8 months ago -- I had completely forgot I had it. A little finishing work later here it is. I hope some of these other dusty relics clean up as nice, I'll share them as I finish them.
