Printin' portraits

So I figure it's bout time to show a little bit o' the progress I've made in printmaking with some of the newer etchings I've done this year. Here are two in their completed state. They're part of a four(five?) part series of portraits that's hopefully rounding out my portfolio of fine print work. Then maybe sometime you'll see the dozen or so I've got in unfinished states. Or maybe they'll get finished. Who knows.

Day of Departure

Well, Merry Christmas, Happy end to '08, and Healthy prostate to you all. Ah, at least some of you.

Digital Dopplegangers!

So, Playstation Network's released a beta for Home, a virtual space where users create an avatar to interact with the community.

The premise is interesting, and I check it out. Already, the customization is practically limitless, and I scare myself a bit with my avatar I've created. Literally, my digital doppleganger. Judge for yourself.







Awesome? Kinda. Eerie? Yes. My little brother put it best upon reflection: The fact that people can create themselves and buy things they can't really buy and do things they can already do in real life?
