2005 Archives
This month has been extremely busy with the holidays and a bit of travelling here and there. I have been productive artwork-wise, but none that you've seen so far.
I do promise several new pieces that I've been working on, but just haven't gotten them up on the website as of yet, because I'm also working on revamping the website, yet again. So I figured that I would do everything all at once.
I hope you and yours have a happy and safe holiday season.
This month is shaping up to be the month of the fae, for whatever reason....
- 11/30/05 —YAAAY! I just got word that WyldFire Studios is one of the Featured Artists for Brian Froud's Website :-)
- 11/20/05—Apparently, I don't sleep enough. However, I had
been contemplating this piece for a bit, and had drawn out some preliminary sketches.
I knew the *look* I wanted and then everything fell into place.
- 11/19/05—I think the fae are vexing me as of late.
I blame Brian Froud :-D
- 11/18/05—Did I say the faery-frenzy slowed down? I was wrong.
I thought I was rid of the faeries, but they came back.
Technically, these new one are "WoodLand Sprites", so it "kinda" belongs in the SpiritWood Section,
but sprites are also faeries, but, I'm trying to get away from the faery theme.
- 11/17/05—Well, the faery-frenzy has slowed down a bit. I wanted to get
back and do more of the Metamorphis Series. "Waiting" had been sitting
in limbo for several months. I needed to put it away as I had been working
too long and too hard at it. So, after I finished "I was a Teenage Faery",
I started back on "Waiting"
- 11/01/05— It seems I have faeries on the brain for some reason. Faery Glow
Well, I think the fae have infected me.
- 09/25/05—We uploaded two new pieces onto the website.
- 08/10/05—After several long days, we finally finished
up the revamped website. We've removed the javascript and went
strictly with HTML which should help download times for those on dialup.
Plus, in addition with this, we cleaned up some of the portfolio images
to make them easier to view.
- 08/09/05—We uploaded two new pieces onto the website.
- Cheetah in Sepia—This particular piece has been sitting around for a bit, waiting to be finished. I had been working on this piece several weeks ago, but I had to take a much needed break from it.
- Unicorn Dreams—This piece had been finished months ago, but it seemed to need more. I had put this piece away, and finally came back to it. I putzed around with it a bit, until this was made.
- 08/04/05—We're currently revamping our website (again) to
make things easier, by removing some of the javascript on some of the pages. Many
pop-up blockers being used by some providers and users are preventing some of our
images to show up. While, we understand the need to block annoying
pop-up ads, it also prevents our stuff from being seen in its full light.
This is cause for concern. So, we're just revamping to remove
the javascript.
- 08/02/05—Well, we just spent the past several days
furiously matting & boxing up artwork for Dragon*Con. Our primary
agent for D*C had to cancel her trip. Luckily, GreenDragon was able to
step up to the plate, but had only a small window of opportunity in which
to send her our artwork! We hauled a$$, and got the delivery out to her.
- 08/01/05—Our one year anniversary (kinda-sorta). We officially got our paperwork towards the latter half of July. We've been doing better as the year progresses, and hopefully, things will get even better as we move towards our second year.
- 07/17/05- New additions. In the Life Section of the Gallery, I've uploaded some new
photographs. Some of them aren't *new*, but I forgot to include them in the June announcements,
so I'm adding them here.
- Horses! — There are several horse photographs in the gallery.
- Reclining Cat in the WildLife section of the gallery. A new photograph take a day or so ago.
- 07/12 - Completed a new piece, Dragon Pearl, that is inline with the other Dragon Gems that I had been creating.
- 06/12 - There's a new work in progress in the Egyptian Section of the Portfolio.
I've uploaded a draft copy for you to take a peek. I'm still currently tweaking this piece,
but will have it finished soon.
Eye of Ra
- 06/10 - This particular piece I had envisioned some time ago, and had
made some preliminary sketches. A conversation at BayCon with someone regarding the
Phoenix prompted me to actually start & finish this piece: Phoenix Fire
I've also added some banner graphics for those interested in link exchanges.
- 06/08 - I've been revamping the website slightly for easier navigation and flow.
I've also updated the Costume Section of the Portfolio
as well as added CafePress & Zazzle products.
I finally got up an artist bio and a sitemap. Hopefully, these will prove useful and/
or interesting to folks.
