I'm excited to be finally working on framing and matting my paintings myself! I've already started one and I will be finishing up that framing tonight. I'm trying something completely new with these! Therefore, I'll be using the time I'd usually use for streaming tonight to be working on that. Sorry guys, I will be back to stream later on this week.

I'll post pics of the finished framing job when I'm done. I think you'll like it.

Yay for Friday! I really could use a weekend right now. It's been a crazy busy week at work and I'm really looking forward to not only relaxing but getting some things done at home. I think I'm also right on the verge of finishing up Vevanak's dragon painting commission too. I plan to hold a stream tonight as well.

One of my plans soon to be put into action is going through my gallery and cleaning up some of the older art. I want to put only my best work here so some things might be going into storage for now. Sorry if anything I put into storage is on your favorites list. I just want to show my best stuff and clean things up.

Also, I'm excited to be thinking about getting more artwork done that can be offered for sale as Christmas presents! It's that time of year we are/probably should be thinking about what to be getting people. I am anyways! I would like to be able to sell a few paintings and take on some commissions to get ready for that time.

That said, I am planning on having a sale! A sale, Dittin, really? Yes! I'd like to offer some super cheap prints and originals just in time for the holidays. I'll be posting a separate journal about this soon with more info. The sale will only last until next month though so be sure to place orders before it ends!

I have joined an archery league that I attend Thursdays after work. We only have two more sessions left though and next week is our tournament! Wish me luck! We'll be shooting 3D targets for prizes. I first started shooting 3D targets yesterday so I'm still learning to gauge distances and avoid shooting into walls, poles, and fake trees. My first long distance arrow ended up firmly lodged beneath a log that was part of the scenery.

I'll post a journal a little later announcing the beginning of the stream, so check back if you plan on coming!

I've finished the dragon painting! Feel free to pop into the stream anyways though to see the on-demand videos showing the process!

I am spending Halloween reformatting my desktop computer. At first, I was having issues with major lag in Photoshop and therefore couldn't stream from that computer. So I did the tech support thing and started cleaning it up in every way humanly possible but all that did was make things worse. Photoshop would then not open at all. Once I got that fixed, sure enough, my internet browser along with a few other things suddenly started acting really funny. It's kinda looking like some sort of malware or whatnot and finally I gave in and did what is always the last resort: the dreaded reformat. I've been working on that most of the day and will spend probably most of the rest of the day reinstalling lots of programs.

I'm not sure if I'll be doing a stream later as I won't be able to watch over the stream like I usually do. It would be more of me switching back and forth a whole lot and not participating as much as usual in the chat. I like to be able to answer questions and whatnot. Not to mention, shouldn't you guys be out doing Halloween stuff?

My reformat is at 99 percent right now so I'm gonna end here and try to get this thing on the road. Hopefully the computer will finally act more like it's shiny and new again. All your issues were just getting silly, mr. computer.

Offline for now! See ya later!
