New Comp+New Camera = New Life to Blog?

I just bought a new computer machine this fall, a 21.5" iMac, to replace my 5 year old 12" iBook G4. It's the new love of my life. I mean look at it, it's so silver and shiny and HD ta boot. o_O The magic mouse and keyboard are great, but I keep forgetting to shut off the mouse and it wears out the batteries. If you get one be sure you have rechargeable batteries for it, unless you own stock in Energizer or something.

Now that I bought a new compy, my HP Photosmart camera that came free with my mom's printer a year or so ago just seemed so pitiful in comparison to this behemoth of modern technology. So, today I bought a Canon Rebel XS.

The only way I could justify these expenditures was to say I'm literally and figuratively going for broke on the art this year. I have a ton of new stuff to start posting and as soon as my camera gets here I shall photograph it and it shall be posted!

My dear readers, if I have any left, be prepared for an art-alanche! Which everyone knows is an avalanche of art.

Calling all sketchers, artists, and doodlers: Sketch Tuesday

Tuesdays suck. In fact I'd go so far as to say that they are the suckiest day of the week. Sure Mondays are no fun, but at least you've still got some of the weekend high going. Wednesdays, at least you're halfway through the work week. It's those Tuesdays that seem to have the least hope and joy. So let's make them more fun and productive.

Every week join me in doing a sketch for Tuesday. There is no theme. The point is to show us what you're working on, what just happened to come off the top of your head, to show our work without the pressure of presenting a finished masterpiece.

It's a chance to exhibit our work process and to give each of us incentive to consistently produce new work.

There's a Flickr Pool where we can all upload 1-2 pieces a week for Tuesday. Fun? Fun!
