KillJar Mini-Makeover!

 I re-shot all my photos, redid the colors on my banner to match the new styling, and added a photo in with my banner. I'm so happy with it! Even though I know my camera is on it's way out and is giving me sub-standard photos I think my shop finally looks "grown up!"   
I feel like I've matured enough in the past year to actually be able to handle having KillJar without running around like a mad beheaded chicken.

Sculpture and Shenanagins for the Raw Artist Houston Show: Solstice




Draw it again, Pearl Girl digital painting process

So I drew this in my sketchbook last year and started painting it in photoshop. I...didn't know much. I found this file a few nights ago and started playing around. I think I've improved greatly, check the gif:



This year
Right one is the most recent, and I'm still working on her (: Wish me luck and patience!

Since January

I'm sorry, blogspot. I'm sorry you're not as cool as Tumblr and therefore get neglected.  You're still cool, we promise

I decided I'd brush the dirt off this thing and start making some legit personal/informative posts on here, though my time will still mostly be spent over on my tumblr, http://simonspook.tumblr.com/  ,  because I have 36 followers here and close to 400 there.

So what have I been up to since January? Probably less than I could write a satisfactory post about. I've boiled it down to these three things:  I've made plenty more jewelry, I was asked to be in an art show in June, and I dislocated my kneecap in March.

I also read Oliver Twist and shaved the side of my head.
More to come on all this bullshit when I have the time...
