Vroom Vroom Internet!
This last weekend was "No Tax Weekend" for Georgia. For all items relating to going back to school the Man takes nothin! So we headed out to look at computers. Of course, we knew that we would buy one, so we did. You see, I needed a new computer. All of my new illustrations require heavy computer involvement and the old clunker, great as she has been for the last four years, just couldn't handle the photoshop files. Here is an example:
These are multi-layered, 7in. x 10in., 400dpi suckers and I just couldn't deal with minute length edits. The limerick is one of Edward Lear's Nonsense poems. I am doing a series of cards with the limericks on the back (all red and white like playing cards) and a relating image on the front.
The Lear Limericks are perfect for me because they are silly and friendly and still surprisingly dark. I hope to get at least ten done this summer and then send some sample out to publishers. They could be used as educational Old Maid cards, or just a plain fun reading.
Oh yeah! And we now have two computers connected to the internet! So Marigold and I can both download our own separate porn without waiting on each other.

Wow. Buying new computers this past weekend must be a genetic thing. Your parents did the same thing.
Congrats on the new addition to your electronic family!

Nice drawrings there, Steve-o
What kind of computer did you get?

I got an HP bundle. 160GB hard drive. 512MB RAM. DVD R/W w/ CD R/W, blah, blah , blah. Hopefully I can hook up a duel monitor system with my older CRT monitor and the new flat-panel screen. That project is for after I eventually get all the files and whatnots transfered over. It also came with a little printer that we don't need. It was good deal.

Nice! I want to get a new desktop (just the box itself, my monitor still works OK), but I'm looking in the 4-500 range. If you don't already use it, you should get Firefox for your browser, its more impervious to spyware and stuff that fucks up your computer.
Remind me soon to send you the software I use (its freeware) for making copies of commercial DVDs!
