Yep, we tailgated in Gotham City




Yep. My uncle won tickets for himself and a small group of people to sit in one of those fancy ball park boxes and watch a game between the Pirates and the Cardinals. My parents, my younger big sister and her husband, and I--along with several other relatives--were invited to come along. Before the game began, we stood out in the back of the parking lot and ate snacks out of our trunks. There were more snacks in the seat box upstairs, including chicken and kettle potato chips. The game itself wasn't that great, really, but oh well. Mom and Dad went to another game a few days later, but it was in regular seats. The only thing I missed that game was Mom bringing out her rarely-made chocolate-topped peanut butter butterscotch rice crispie treats... :drool: But she left some for me, of course.


Wait, how were we watching a Pirates game in a fictional city, you ask? Well, it was technically Pittsburgh, but it had been turned into Gotham City for a month or so. No, really. The people filming The Dark Knight Rises came and began altering Pittsburgh to become Gotham City! Mostly it was messing with the exteriors of buildings like the Mellon Institute and the Carnegie Mellon University, though there was also snow on a few roads in the middle of summer and a gigantic hole in another. Filing has ended recently. ............I hope they patched up the big hole.









Sam started school




My nephew Sam started preschool today. He's a good kid despite some typical behavioral problems, and we all think preschool will do him good. My parents both saw the preschool themselves before school began, but I didn't as I was busy watching Daisy at the time. I asked my sister this afternoonif she knew how his first day went, but he hasn't really said anything about it. At the very least, he isn't saying anything bad. :shrug:









Oh, and Tumblr




Well, some people had been bugging me about it at one site. Then I saw two of my friends here had it as well. I decided to just give in and get an account myself. I'll mainly just be posting my art there. My account is here.









Still shamelessly plugging these things




I'd like to take this moment to advertise a few sites. First is for the web site for the comic by Mister-Saturn called sChIzO. And for a comic about a schizofrantic young anthro cat woman, it's quite funny and endearing (albeit tearjerking sometimes) with a lovable cast of characters. The comic's main site can be located at schizo-comic.com.


The other site I'd like to plug is a forum owned by an old friend of mine that's pretty much for general discussion but mainly centered around play-by-post roleplaying. If you have a host of characters for an original setting or you want to play the roles of existing franchise characacters in their licensed settings, there's a board for either of those. We're willing to extend a warm welcome and any help to any newcomers as long as they follow the rules, and registration is currently open if you want to join. The site is located at z9.invisionfree.com/Roles_You_Play.









Commissions





Still trying to do this. I prefer PayPal (I'll tell you via note what my e-mail address is), but if you must pay by check, I suppose I could also note you my s-mail address. Check out my gallery to get a general sense of what I draw. Also, please only request images with either your characters or my characters unless you have written permission from whomever else owns the characters in said commission request. I can't afford a lawyer...:paranoid: I've based my prices on what I've seen other people do (I threw in the extra on the background thing, 'cause backgrounds are no fun :().


Prices

  • Uncolored sketch of one character - $5 (+2 per extra character)
  • Colored sketch of one character - $10 (+2 per extra character, and +2 if you want a decent background other than the generic grass-and sky)

Please note I will not draw any mature or squeamish content. I'll start as soon as I receive payment, and I will e-mail you the start sketch to see if you like where I'm going with it. If you like it (and don't mind me showing people), I'll post it in my scraps. If you wish to post up your own modified version (i.e. you colored a black and white commish I sold you), please post it in your own scraps rather than your main gallery and be sure to link to my version. :)
