Taking a sanity break with new game
I’ve spent most of today updating WordPress here to version 2.5.1, which of course means that I needed a new theme too. It took forever to find one that would work for what I wanted to do here, but I’m happy to report that the Amazing Grace theme did the trick! Now it’s just a matter of customizing the graphics… easier said than done lol. Eventually, the pictures on the top will rotate, and feature all of my digital art pieces! I thought that would be pretty cool.
I still have a lot of work to do here, but at least the site’s working now. I’m really looking forward to the upcoming long weekend. I’m hoping to bring the girls to go see Hellboy II… the special effects and creature creations look fabulous! With the Holiday weekend, I don’t know if we’ll be able to go to the Drive Ins, but that’s what we’re hoping for. I also want to see the new Will Smith movie, Hancock. That would be a great double feature line up! Hellboy II and Hancock… here’s to hoping!
I’m not feeling overly creative, so playing in Poser or UltraFractal is out… maybe I’ll wind down with some Ranch Rush, or Virtual Farm instead. Playing a casual pc game after a long day of code tweaking is how I relax. Oooo… Diablo III was announced… it’s coming, it’s really coming! I can’t wait!

Bad weather makes for lots of new Digital Art
Well, I may not have been posting here a lot, but I have been busy creating all kinds of new Digital Art! With all the rain we’ve had, it’s not like I could be out on the bike with Hubby anyway… this weather KILLS my back, and I’m pretty immobile for the most part… so digital art is how I pass the time till the sun’s shining again! All the “guys” were out in the garage all weekend fixing and fabricating parts and add ons for their bikes… if they can’t ride, they’re workin’ on ‘em! LOL I’ll have to remember to take a pic of the Road Glide to post here.
Not only does my online gallery include 3d art, but I’ve added digital painting & airbrushing… and a new addiction of mine, Fractal Art. I’ve been using PhotoShop CS3 almost exclusively for painting, postwork and editing. I’ve pretty much switched over to Poser 7, instead of DAZ too (the render engine in Poser is nicer to my computer!). The newest addition to my graphics software collection is Ultra Fractal, which was the result of my discovering another fractal program, Apophysis.
I’ve always been a fan of fractal artwork, but never thought I could actually produce them myself. I’ve got a lot to learn about making the type of fractals I enjoy most, but it’s the learning process that I enjoy the most. 
I’ve included a few of my most recent creations here for you, after the break. If you’re interested in seeing more, visit the main gallery here, and notice the categories of different types of art on the right hand side. Enjoy!
