Wow, I didn't realize it's been a year since I've posted. Crazy! Well anyway, I've been busy doing websites and animations and such for various people over the past year. When and if i get a chance I'll though some links out on the portfolio end of the site. Oh, I also had a kid, yes, I said a kid! His name is Chase and he's super cute. Almost 7 months old now.
There is another fairy in the store for those of you who like my fairies. She replaced the pumpkin thing which I really didn't like. I think I need to reorganize the store at some point and add all of the stores I have in there...you know, for my dad's site, and the comic site.

Well, Anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone and have a safe New Year!

Well it's been a while since I had anything to say in here. I guess I'll just give a bit of a life update. In case you didn't hear, which I'm sure the people who I've lost touch with haven't, I'm having a little rugrat. Tee hee, I'm just over 4 months in.
In other news, I'm currently unemployed, so if you need a website done or want a comission of any kind, I'm sure I can get that done for you, and farely quickly as well.
For Mom, your christmas fairy as all done and ready for your viewing in the store. :)

I would just like to inform everyone that there is a new design in the store. I'm going to continue with the fairy theme as they seem to be rather popular. I am also doing commissions for those of you who want original fairy art, or any other creature if you want. Pricing structure are as follows:

Pencil sketch - $10
Inked - $15
Color penciled - $20
Digitally colored (sent via email)
Cell style - $25
Soft Shaded - $30
With background - $40

I accept Paypal, cash, or money orders. I will send the image as soon as the money is received and/or clears. You can contact me via the form above and tell me the details of what you want. I will also do original stuff from my webcomic if you wish.

My webcomic is moving along pretty good now. What we're missing now, are some new forum members. Hey, you know what? I think YOU should join. That's right, you. The Six Flags summer season is almost over. Scary i know. And i really don't have any winter jobs lined up, but that is what the webcomic is for. I would really appreciate and support you guys can give it. Thanks much. www.thesinangel.com

Great news!! So my webcomic is about to make it's grand debut!! Starting tomorrow the first page is going to be up and that will be the start of a week long marathon of updates. (well one update every day Mon thru Thurs) This is the moment I have been waiting for for the last 2 years and now it is happening. It would be great if you guys could check it out, vote, and maybe click on a few things. There is also a forum for your community pleasure. The website is www.thesinangel.com.

I haven't had much time lately to work on my personal project as well as converting part 2 of Sin Angel to Flash, so I am posting the entire video from the senior show here, as well as the demo reel. The demo reel will eventually have its own personal spot here on my website next to the resume. Anyway, here they are:

Sin Angel
Large (618.16MB) Small (8.83MB)

Demo Reel

Per the request of a certain individual, I have implimented an email list for those of you who want to be notified when an update has been made. It's still in the testing stage as I am attempting to do this myself (a non webprogrammer guru) :P

Senior Show update.

Group shot of me and my boys: Nick, Dan, and Jack

Here's a shot of the gallery (i'm in the skirt)

Here's my little neck of the woods (when we were setting up)

The studio shot....all the drawings I did for the animation.

The TV that was playing my animations

Some of Jack's stuff.

Some of Nick's stuff

And some of Dan's stuff.

All and all, the show went well. It is still up and will be showing through mother's day if you still wanted to go give it a look. I would be interested in hearing people's thoughts on the show who went. Send me an email and let me know.
I will try to put up part two of the animation sometime next week. I still need to export the different elements to Flash so I can put it together...it will make viewing much easier.

Next on the agenda....GRADUATION!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!
So..I did it, I hopped on the Cheney bandwagon and made a political design for my store. I figured with all the popularity now because of his stupid mistake, why not. If people buy it, great, if not, oh well. Doesn't bother me either way. But if this political thing turns out to be a good seller, then hold on to your hats, you might see more in the futuer. But I suppose that means I have to watch the news more, which means I have to watch tv more, which isn't going to happen..too busy.
Back to my original thought....Happy V-Day!!!!! I hope everyone got lots of flowers and jewlery and presents and candy and stuff like that. What did I get? Nothing, but that is to be expected, we're poor. One month left on the stupid rental then we don't have to worry about the bag lady any more.
Remeber, tell your friends, I'm for hire!!!

Ok, here's a life update. So my grandfather passed away on the 17 of January, only 10 days before he should of. He always figured he's pass on the 27th because he believed 27 was his lucky number. Heck, he's been 27 for the last 61 years (according to him). Well anyway, he was fighting a long battle with alzhiemers for quite a few years, so he really didn't remember any of us anymore anyway. He will be missed, but he's now with grandma and probably much happier.
Shortly before the funeral I received an email from a company that found me on Monster.com. I thought that was pretty cool and went in on an interview the next wednesday. I thought the interview went well and the guy said he was going to call that Friday between 12 and 2. So I waited, and waited, and waited. The phone never rang. The only time it rang was at about 11:45 while I was in the bathroom. I suppose that might have been him calling in a little early, but there was no message and no caller ID number, so who knows. Maybe the interview didn't go as well as I thought, or maybe the job was just not meant to be. I guess I'll never know.
No one voted, so I just moved the links over to their own page anyway. There was a bunch of stuff I wanted to add to them anyway and I figured no one would really see them on the bottom of this page.
OH OH OH.....For those of you who care, I have decided to do web work. Do you or someone you know looking for someone to design your website? Well, I am the person for you!! Tell all your friends and spread the word! (i need money) Also I have put a bunch more designs up in my store. Check them out.
Well, that's all I have for now. Until next time, keep looking up!! :)

It's finally done. My website has been completely updated with 2 new additions to the Artwork catigory, Video and Flash. This update has been long over due, but with my extra time this early January, I finished that and my aunts website. Also check out the store. I actually put a list of images you can purchase stuff from, instead of just the one. Well..check here for any other updates I might have. I still have one semester left of school to go, so that means I will definately have more content to put on this site. Choa

Happy New Year!! So now that we are starting a new year, I've got a few things to add to my resolution list. For one, I'd like to lose a few more pounds, but who doesn't have that on their list (except for Chris of course). Two, I am graduating school in May and I need to find myself a nice paying, fun job. I definitely need to get this site updated. I've got a lot of new stuff to add. Right now I am working on my aunt's website otherendofthebarrel.org, it needs a serious update. She's paying me, too, so I guess this would make my first freelance job. She saw my dad's site and really liked it. One of my dad's friends and fellow racers also liked the site and now wants one of his own, so I guess that would make job number 2. As for my store, I know I keep on saying i'll get it finish, and by god I will eventually get it finished, but I'm going to stop making promises, you never know what's going to happen. Here's a question...I have my links on the bottom of this blog, but do you, as my sparse viewers, feel that it would be better to add another page for links where they would be more accessible for people who like to look at links. Go ahead and add a comment on the guestbook or email me.
BTW, this is my little Christmas game I made, pretty simple, Santa can dance.

So Chris and I are trying to buy a house, but our landlady is being a complete BITCH and doesn't want to help us out in any way. We've tried to reason with here, tried to make a deal with her, we even brought her new tenants. She just won't budge. Our last option (and the one we really don't want to do) is to just pay her for the rest of the lease and get the hell out of there. Mind you our lease is up in April. o_O If anyone is feeling generous, we could sure use the help right now.
If you want to see some pics of our potential house, you can see them on chris's blog: www.n9xcr.com

For all you Halloweeners I made an Ecard and posted it on Newgrounds. Check it out!

Today is my dad's birthday..he hit the big 4 9. For his birthday I created a website, www.96smokinjoe.com. It seems that his site already had more hits than mine, what is up with that. There is a forum and a store on his site (i put more time into his than my own) but don't worry, if you want something from my store, be patient, I'll finish it eventually.

6/30/05
So finally after 3 months, I have finished the photo gallery of our wedding. You can check it out here or go to www.april4design.com/wedding.htm, whatever is easiest for you. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me.

The latest news is my wedding that I'm sure most of you know about. The date is April, 2 2005. I plan on posting most of the pictures on this site and if you want any, just email me.

The store isn't much now, but I am working on a Zodiac type theme. I think it will turn out good when it is all finished.
