Digg Me

Just a quick note to say that I have added the “Digg” option to my blog.

I’ve gone all the way back to Nov and added the Digg option at the bottom of each post. (this one excluded of course)

If your bored anytime in the near future feel free to browse through the older posts and Digg the ones you liked 😛

That being said I’m going to go make and eat some poutine so go on Digg me 😉

Cheers,

This is just to say: Yatta!! My blog has had 10,000 visitors. 😛

Here’s a quick sketch to celebrate!

Thanks and keep on checking in

oh and maybe try commenting more…

Cheers,

I want to start off by saying I love pop art.

Some of my favorite artists were part of the pop art movement. (Lichtenstein being at the top of my list.)

I think it’s the bright colors that pull me in, (in case you haven’t notice I tend to use a lot of color in my work).

That being said, tonight’s piece is another friend tribute.

I loved her new profile picture and had to swipe it.

I’ve been staring at it for probably months now trying to decide how to approach it.

I even did a version in marker (simplified colors like my yelling man) but it just didn’t turn out right.

I didn’t want to loose any of the subtleties of the picture so tonight I decided I’d do a Warhol inspired version of her.

The thing is, I couldn’t decide on which color scheme to go with. I think both suit her personality.

I guess I’ll let you decide which you like better. (Of course Eve gets the final say as to which (if either) is the better one 🙂 )

Here she is, “Eve” pop art version 1 & 2

If you haven’t already noticed I’ve made a few modifications to my site.

I’ve added a main page (welcome to the milke way) complete with a slide show of my art. (not too shabby if I do say so)

I’ve also added a few page links to make getting around a bit easier and I’ve changed the music player ~~to not start automatically~~

~~upon page loading~~. or rather removed it for the time being as well as the pic I had on the right column.

So have a look around and let me know what you think or if you’ve encountered any problems.

I’ll probably continue dabbling with things for a bit. (added a few new pics too that weren’t originally in the Traditional Gallery)

Cheers for now,
