				Most of my computer worries are over. Everything else is just fluff (video card ram etc) I lost all my wip's unfortunately but I whipped up a couple new things to break in the new motherboard:<br />
<br />
<a href="images/2008/07/26/533-sgt pepper paul  wall.jpg"><img src="images/thumb/533-sgt pepper paul  wall.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="images/2008/07/26/534-George Harrison Wallpaper.jpg"><img src="images/thumb/534-George Harrison Wallpaper.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="images/2008/07/26/535-Tom Petty.jpg"><img src="images/thumb/535-Tom Petty.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="images/2008/07/26/536-George Harrison digital sketch.jpg"><img src="images/thumb/536-George Harrison digital sketch.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
And I made these two the day after my computer died and the day before the new one arrived:<br />

				I've been practicing my portraiture on some Beatles:<br />
<br />
<a href="images/2008/02/12/493-Beatle Paul.jpg"><img src="images/thumb/493-Beatle Paul.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="images/2008/02/12/491-Beatle George.png"><img src="images/thumb/491-Beatle George.png" border="0" /></a><a href="images/2008/02/12/490-Beatle John.png"><img src="images/thumb/490-Beatle John.png" border="0" /></a><a href="images/2008/02/12/492-Imagine - John Lennon.jpg"><img src="images/thumb/492-Imagine - John Lennon.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />
<br />
There hasn't been a lot going on with my art because I've been playing a lot of guitar and a little bit of WoW. And really, blistered fingers don't lend themselves to painting OR games all that well. I'm really just wasting time because I want summer to be here so very very badly.

				FLORIDA DOESN'T HAVE WINTER! I love it. Merry Christmas and so on and junk. I made 4 pictures with a snow theme when I only meant to make 1:<br />
<br />
<a href="images/2007/12/13/484-angel with harp.png"><img src="images/thumb/484-angel with harp.png" border="0" /></a> <a href="images/2007/12/13/485-A CroccoliChops Chrsitmas.png"><img src="images/thumb/485-A CroccoliChops Chrsitmas.png" border="0" /></a> <a href="images/2007/12/13/486-Christmas dress.png"><img src="images/thumb/486-Christmas dress.png" border="0" /></a> <a href="images/2007/12/24/488-Merry Christmas.png"><img src="images/thumb/488-Merry Christmas.png" border="0" /></a><br />
<br />
It's been a very stressful holiday and not even in a very holiday like way so I haven't done much else. I did in fact get to finish that oil painting and I gifted it already. And just for fun I bought some spiking cement and extra strong hold hair spray:<br />
<br />
<a href="images/2007/12/22/487-Salsa Spikes.jpg"><img src="images/thumb/487-Salsa Spikes.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />
<br />
I've been working on this for about a month on and off and I got it done 2 days before it was gifted for Christmas:<br />

				I made this on my DS. I am absolutely captivated with home brew applications. I also hate Christmas so don't expect any ridiculously cutsey Santa Clauses and junk in my gallery. I might make something. But on the whole the holidays make me crazy. They make other people crazy too. Tell me I'm wrong! Enjoy your fruitcake. With any luck I'll get to go swimming for Christmas. Its been in the high 80's for the most part around here, which is awesome because I am not a winter person. Mostly because we don't have winter in Florida. <br />

				I forgot my camera but <a href="http://silverstarphotography.blogspot.com/2007/11/folkston-funnel-folkston-ga.html">Kim uploaded these to her photo blog.</a> I went to Folkston, Georgia to watch trains, am I a rail-fan? I don't know. Probably not. <br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not ready to take pictures of my oil paintings yet, so have some oekakis I've done in the meantime:<br />
