Inspired by my former background at twitter (a pale gray background with slightly darker gray stripes and gray cats), I've created my own tileable graphic in GIMP. I've posted it to my twitter feed and, frankly, I love the way it looks. I used the colors and the cat of my personal logo (along with another cat from that particular font), staggered ( Read more... )

My daughter made this for me today, between classes. As far as I know, I can keep all my current user pics when my paid trial ends tomorrow. Wondering if I should get another six up there...

First time I've offered any icons that I've made. Hope I'm doing this right. These are totally gankable, but please credit me.

Been working on coding things for my personal fiction site. I’ve finished and posted Mosaic - though that will be updated when the muse strikes - and I’m working on The White Winds. There’s still lots to do, but I’m almost halfway through the chapter formatting. I’ve managed to get it down to a routine. Open the .txt files, put in the chapter ( Read more... )

She had six pieces in the show, all of which she hoped to sell. Went around looking at a lot of the art, some of it most excellent, and found that she'd taken third place in the ( Read more... )

My daughter made magnets for some of our relations this year, including me!

It's Alan Tracy, his pygmy alligator fallen asleep and drooling on his head. He's dressed in his International Rescue: The Next Phase uniform. She made it of foam and felt and used watercolor pencils to color it. Took a while to piece together.

She started this one some time ago, but her Virgil picture gave her the impetus to finish it. It's inspired by one of my drabbles from

The Girl's artwork, the Thunderbirds one she was working on for me, came home yesterday. She's going to try and sell the other two show pieces, which would be nice. I personally think this is very good, but then, I'm more than a tad biased.

Here's what she was working from:
