showing gratitude towards a friendship... if interested to read more please read the posting at akirabeard.com/blog
With the advent of our first real winter storm, I was eager to get some neat winter shots. It wasn't until I got my macro lens out and scrutinized the ice blobs on my screen door that I found art! That's when I got real excited. What do you see in this piece of ice? I am amazed at the patterns and colors that show up.
Thanks to AndC for the spot and help. It rained while I was painting this and a swarm of mosquitos ravaged my legs with more than 100 bites. They looked like two blood red, blotchy twiglets by the time I was finished. Fun day and inspiring place.
Greeting card that Anne made for a friend's bridal shower. Each invited guest was given a time of day and told to get a gift that could be used at the that time. Anne's assigned time was 2 a.m. She bought silk pillow cases.
Time for some quick Adventure Time fanart! I definitely have to do a more complex illustration to honour all of my favourite characters in this show.

There arew a few quirks that I've criticized with some of the Sigma ART lenses (AF consistency, for one), but image quality is never something that I complain about. This new lens (24-35mm f/2) has great sharpness, color rendition, and even pretty decent bokeh. I've done some layers of processing here (including the flare - the lens is not really flare prone), but the nice rendering is from the lens itself. Look for my review next week.
Technical Information: Canon EOS 6D, Sigma 24-35mm f/2 ART, Processed in Adobe Lightroom CC, Adobe Photoshop CC, Alien Skin Exposure 7 (use code "dustinabbott" to get a 10% discount)

There's a Bad Religion song that has the same title as this image. I really like that band and listened to them a lot when I was younger, and still do now.
This pic is a little bit abstract, but there are a load of themes in here despite it being a really basic "build".
The most straightforward of these is the obvious gold leg facing the opposite way, hence - against the grain. The variation in colour despite the uniform nature of the legs, hinting individuality. The circle/loop representing cycles, movement, Earth, and linkage. The colour of the background was the most "earthy" I could think of to contrast the plastic. Also, I ended up going with the imperfections in the circle to reinforce the idea of complete/ incomplete.
Don't worry, I'll be back to my usual builds later this week. I haven't lost my mind, I just felt like a change :P
Again I used a photo of Obby looking at me from the chair next to my table. I inked, painted, smushed, glued, and stitched on an index card. This is the fourth in my cat series. (daisyyellowart.com)
I've been keeping a daily journal for about three or four years now. About 20 of them are in storage back in Texas. When we moved to England in February 2007 for a three year stint, I started numbering my books, beginning with UK #1, of course.
I finished UK #11 today. It's always bittersweet to finish a book. The old one is a dear friend, after all. The new one? Well, there's the fear of the ultimate blank page. But I find that as soon as I make my first mark, ahhh. That's better.
Spent a wonderful day on the beach this past weekend. Watercolors and ink in my watercolor journal. somanystars.blogspot.com/2012/01/spent-saturday-with-jeff...
