Telemarketers from hell.

Oh its been a week and a half, and it hasn't even started yet.
Ever since I moved to my new home, all day everyday its calls from telemarketing Nazis.I am still editing, but I will be posting a few more things up right about......NOW.

She works hard for the money.

It took a while, and I am still editing. It will take more time through out the day to get everything posted, and I have a lot of things to glaze over and touch up. On top of that i have some personal things around the house to get done, soooooo my day is pretty full. I also have to set up my camera to shoot my oil paintings because they cannot be scanned.Anyway wish me luck and have a great day everyone.

Oh yeah........??

I call it " polar bears juggling paper plates in a snow storm".
But no seriously, its just a canvas I finished prepping for some new work I am going to be doing. I finished a few new pieces and I will be editing them tonight and posting them before lights out, or least by tomorrow morning. Anyway I am going to finish some more stuff and begin editing, I am also going to be adding some sketches from my sketchbooks. I have some a few oil pieces to finish and touch up, but I will be posting what I have.
Anyway, I'll be getting back to my labors and working away ti'll late tonight. Ill be back later.

New work up :D

sigh** well it took longer then I wanted but my new work is up and ready to view in Water Color 2. Some of the pieces are old just re-worked, but most of them are new. It took me a few hours to complete each one and the editing process is a pain but I finished it this morning and now everything is ready to go. I am going to be opening up a sketch book page also to outline the process of my work, just so people dont think I am making this stuff up in my head while I go. Anyway if you like what you see, follow me and I'll follow you back. I have a lot more stuff coming up because I have been working non-stop for a few days on end and I am blasting work out right now. I am also going to be taking on commissions soon now that I have time. Yes that's right, I have finally finished unpacking and my studio is ready to heat up the forges of war..err I mean art. Anyway please feel free to comment on the new pieces I have posted. ALSO, I have been catching people trying to take my work again with no permission...just ask people. You don't have to stoop down to being common thieves. You can;t really use it because my signature and water marks are over everything...so I don't understand what you hope to gain by trying to post my work on your own art gallery to sell. Anyway, just tossing that out there.

Have a great day everyone. :D

Benny Benassi - 'Satisfaction' (Official Video)

I've had this song stuck in my head all day, somehow I am never satisfied. Girls getting plowed by power tools is pretty weird but I guess its a fun video.

OK...well...penny auctions suck.

I thought I would be able to replace some of the things that I lost during my move, but it turns out penny auctions are a big scam...and I fell for it.
The way it works it you have to buy in to bid, if you open an account you start off with 60$ worth of a 100 bids...sounds alright...right? well those bids add up after a while and most of the time you are competing against people who A: have money to burn. and B: have unlimited free time to monitor these things.
Usually an auction doesn't last long, they show you the stuff and you just bid the hell out of it until you win, and you stop bidding once you reach your limit. Online penny auctions could take days to get the product you wanted, and even if you wait, there is a slim chance you will win. If you loose, not only is the item gone, but you have wasted a lot of money trying to get something you could have saved time and money and just bought it from the store.
I learned a lesson however, not to do penny auctions ever again. I am embarrassed to admit I spent 2 days and 100$ for nothing...that's an expensive lesson, one I choose to share with you before you decide to take the easy way out and go throwing your money into the wind on penny auctions. Yes I was a sucker, and yes I thought it was an easy and cheap way to get some cool gear online...but its all a sham. Unless you have infinite time and money, don't do it.   Its pretty much a gamble and they treat the sites like a game, enticing you with dares of "unlocking" certain features that somehow will make you the king of all auctions. Save your time and money friends, I watched for hours as people bid like mad men, remembering that bids cost money. They are worth only a penny, but they don't sell them cheap. So you buy 100 bids, for 60.00$, you paying roughly almost 60 cents to a dollar per-bid. Roughly...I am not a math pro, but my calculators broken so give me a break for a sec, I was terrible in math class. Anyway so you spend 60 bucks for 100 bids and you think you own the world and you can't loose...guess again. Some of these people have been saving up over 2000 bids for to win the item your on. I know...I watched some of these people just throwing bids away and not winning anything. I watched these people bid over 25 times in 5 minutes...imagine what there afternoon is like? They just burn through money, when they could have saved time and just went to the fucking store and bought the thing. Well, I decided after spending 100 bucks, that I have had enough, I closed my account and quietly went back to my labors and erased the last 2 days from my mind. Avoid penny auctions, they are worst then Vegas, and the risk isn't worth it.
Anyway, this has been my blog, I will have more stuff up later. I have finally re-opened my studio so i am in the game again.

Replacing the old, with penny auctions.

Hi Everyone, if you haven't herd we got burgled during our move from the city, and though I am not at liberty to tell you what was taken, I can say it was almost all brand new apple products. Yes we went through the phases of anger and guilt and feeling violated, all that fun stuff is done. Now we are at the move on section of this horrible experience. So we do not have the money to replace the things we had, however I am doing penny auctions online to perchance the things back at pennies from the dollar. Penny auctions are pretty fun right now, but I am getting mad because the sites seem to favor there regular members with the gold membership. I know it sounds stupid but I have to replace this stuff somehow. To get into the auction I had to pay a bidding fee of 60$ and jot down my info blah blah blah. Then I go online to place my bids and win some stuff. Most people use this as a game, but not me. I am just here to buy the things I need and GTFO.
On a side note there is a raccoon or something that is going through the garbage at my new place. Now I have to call an exterminator to kill its ugly ass. There will be no mercy for my new woodland friend, come into my backyard and go through my garbage you bum...prepare to die. Moving seems like it has been one heartache after another, though I love my new place I slowly began to notice small things bothering me. My neighbors through feed on the garage rooftops to feed birds....I wouldn't mind it the birds didn't shit all over my patio. The maintenance guy is sort of a funny fellow, and the homeowners association are a bit bizarre. Everything seems perfect here, but its like the Stepford wives where something is really out of place. So I am not going to pry or anything, I am just going to go about my business and ignore everything going on around me. I really don't want to get caught up in a story line that involves one of my neighbors being a serial killer and I am living a real life "Killer next door" scenario.

Unpacking

I have moved! I am no longer among the scum in San Francisco. I now live in a clean neighborhood in a quiet area.  It was a long and difficult move and it seemed to never end, but now I am in the unpacking section of the move and it feels great. The photo above it my new work area, it is a big change from the previous photos of my former work space. When we first moved here I got too see the stars at night for the first time in a long time. It was awesome to see the sky lit up with stars and no smog or fog or city lights blocking the view of natures ceiling. I am pretty happy with my new location, and I am pretty anxious to get back to work in my new studio to finish off some stuff I had to put down last week.  No carpets here...just floors and clean air.
