My Computer Is Complete!

YEAH!!!...This is an excting moment! My computer system is up and running! Everything is running really smooth, especially games! :D! I'll be putting up some pictures and more detailed info soon.

Painting With Oil

I continue to paint as the job search goes on. Whoa - one week unemployed; not good. The real problem is where I live: there's a trade-off between no (good) jobs and a place to stay for free - or a half decent job with rental fees. Rural communities have their advantages, but local job opportunities are definitely not one of them...Oh well...keeping up the search. Something's bound to happen sooner or later. And the art gallery is beginning to fill. It might just open soon...

Here is a half-finished oil painting I'm working on.

A Small Maya Update

I decided to have some fun and created a CG model of my new CPU fan(I just bought it for the new computer I'm building). I plan on animating it - the fan blades will spin while the camera view moves around...:D

Here's one of several rendered views.

It Was A Good Ski Season

The snow has mostly melted away now and skiing is now more. But it was nice while it lasted. Since I worked at a ski resort and got a free season's pass, I managed to get in a little more skiing than the previous couple years. I had some fun weekends hittin' the slopes with a ski instuctor I knew. The main thing was to stay slightly behind so that any wipeouts would be(hopefully) unnoticed...:)

I'll try to get a few pics of the hill up before the summer...lol

Do Ads Pay?

I'm really wondering if there are any affiliated ads out on the net that actually pay you anything. I've done surveys and things such as adsense, but nothing really pays that much. I think the ads need to look more attractive...haha

And on a different track...I'm looking up some UV lights for my computer case. I want a few things to glow inside the window...hahaha

Back to the Paint

I'm back at it...painting, that is. I'm going to try to get a wide variaty of paintings done in a (hopefully) short time. Prints of these paintings will then be sold (at bargain prices, I might add). The originals will be sold off at higher prices, of course. And then, in comes the big bucks...or wait a minute...if I'm the one actually doing the paintings, then they won't be valuable till I'm long dead, darn it! OK - the art world has got to change!
