Well... bit the bullet and just bought a premium membership. I was getting tired of my computer crashing from the viruses in the ads. Oh, well.

I got a short-lived premium membership by entering one of the site contests. Problem is I actually like having it and it'll be expiring in the next couple days. I don't exactly have the available funds to buy an extention and my rampant llama trading hasn't gained me enough points to use either. That's kind of a cruel thing to do to someone. Give someone something then say, "You have to pay to keep using it." Granted, I know this analogy has been used, if someone gave me a car, I'd have to pay to keep using that too.

Anyway, if anyone feels like helping me out with an extention, I'd greatly appreciate it. Just don't break your bank for my sake. Thanks.

Over the last year or so, I've been adding many of the pieces of art that I never got around to uploading anywhere. I've also been making more effort to actually draw the designs for each round of the competition I run, called the Conceptual Music Competition. If you're into composing music like I am, please check it out. Unfortunately, some of my better pieces of visual artwork are simply too large to fit on my puny scanner bed. I always have photography, but I want to make sure that the pictures I upload are actually good pictures and not just fond memories I might have of a place. Little by little, I'll add more content to my gallery.

I also find it amusing that I've made one post a year for the last four years (out of the seven I've been a deviantART member).

I picked up a copy of a rather interesting program this last week. It's called ArtRage and it simulates actual oil paints and other media on a canvas. So far, it's working really well. My only problem is that I don't know how to change the type of brush it uses with the oil paints. That and I need to watch some more Bob Ross episodes. Eventually, I'll start loading those on here. I can't guarantee much just yet. There's a bit of difference between painting with brushes and painting with a mouse (I don't have a tablet).

Anyway, the new page format has been somewhat a blessing and a curse. First, I like that I can put stuff where I need it and that I now have a way of displaying the clubs that I joined without needing to put it into one of my journals. On the other hand, it's made the page somewhat lopsided. Overall, it's not too bad.
