a return to blogspot?

...probably not, but I haven't blogged anywhere in some time (obviously not here and not over at lj since the beginning of the school year) and suddenly felt the urge to write something that isn't in Danish, isn't in the form of a short story, and has nothing to do with another person's short story. So, yeah. Here I am. On a site that I rarely come to anymore (unless you count lurking around and reading other people's blogs). So it's nothing magnificent. People don't even look at this thing since the class ended. Hell, I haven't looked at this thing since.

Right.

THIS is my actual blog. Don't know if anyone cares and don't know if I really should be putting this info up, but there you go. A peek at this little thing I like to call life.

Yawn. Now I need to go buy some pita bread and translate some Danish.

ioPen Fun - Rendered

Here it is, the big shed section/perspective that was drawn with the ioPen, manipulated in Illustrator (line weights and basic colours), and then "painted" in PhotoShop. I'm pretty proud of it but I won't know what it really looks like until I print it out. Perhaps I'll test it with Foster before I commit to it on my final printout.

More ioPen Fun

This is my baby. I'm thinkin' about using the Dennis (or whatever) technique to render this thing. I'm so happy with how it turned out. Yay!

ioPen Fun

Constructed. Drawn. Line-weighted. About to be rendered. Wee…

Photoshopping SALTS

Random Play. Enjoy.

8.1 Leaves on That Water Thing

An experiment with the layering technique we were talking about in class. Because I don't have a full model of the building I am designing a lighting fixture for (or, indeed, the lighting fixture itself) I decided to use this little water vessel I built as a Nurbz cross section expiriment. Wee…

6.2 S.A.L.T.S. Heritage Shipyard

I chose to use my studio project for this digital drawing exercise. The program is rather complex but is, basically, a new set of buildings for S.A.L.T.S., a program that is based in Victoria, BC. S.A.L.T.S. both builds large wooden ships and teaches young people (18-25) how to sail them. Currently, S.A.L.T.S. has two ships in their fleet and is planning on adding a third within the next ten years.

In the past, I have worked with the idea of inverted shadows (where the black becomes the object and the white becomes the shading) and decided to continue my explorations here. It is an interesting experiment and one that I quite enjoy, but I think that I need to work on it a bit more.

Yay pirates!
