New design again

So, just in case you’re blind (though if you are I’m not sure how you’re reading this) I’ve done a new design. It’s based off of a template from here (and they have lots of other wp templates so you should check them out), and I think it works much better than the last one. I’m still tweaking it here and there but I think I’ve pretty much customized it to my satisfaction.

I’m really loving the wp engine, if only because it allows me to change my site layout every two weeks with relative ease (it’s a bad habit, i know, but it’s like an addiction now). In fact, I like it so much I think I might convert some of my other sites over…

PS: I’ve also added a few pictures to my portfolio, one in the digital painting section and a few to the traditional line art section so check that out while you’re here.

I’ve updated the comic with page four, go check it out.  I promise the next one will start with an actual STORY, which could be interesting (I’m just not good with one liners…)

Photo update

Tail in the gas tank? My Photos on Face Book

I’ve updated my Face book account, if anyone cares, with a few gems. It took me a while to get my camera working, even longer to find the damn cord.

Getting things going

Shit, this is actually coming along nicely.  Only took me about a day to put this site together, and it’s soooo easy for my to tweak it at a later date without having to start from scratch. (sigh…..yes, yes I can deal with this).  To be honest this is my first time implementing a site driven by WordPress.  I’d tried Joomla and other CMSs but they all seemed like more trouble than they were worth.  So, yes, this is the WordPress plug–they said it was easy and it was.  Took me maybe an hour to find a template I liked and the css was easy to change.  Swapped out some images and bang, it’s my own site.  I’m sure I’ll change stuff (it’s like a sickness) but for now it definitely works for me.

Prolification is like Sex

Honestly, I haven’t been this prolific since high school. I went to university to become more creative and it sucked all that I had. Then I did horses and my reservoirs filled back up. I’ve got all kinds of stuff stacked up and more to dole out. First, check out the new Scruffy Comic (up to page three as of this post) and see what you think. Also, if you have any funny stories concerning your frosh years that you think might fit into the Scruffyverse, let me know.

I’ve also updated my Naruto doujinshi. We’re at chapter 7 and I’m half way through drawing chapter eight so maybe I’ll get in more than two chapters a year (*sighs* Four years of writter’s/artist’s block is the suck).

I’ve also added some new prints for sale, and I’m having all these original art urges that I’ve never experienced before, so I think there’ll be some more. Maybe some Scruffy pin-ups (you know you want one). Anyways, check them out:


And last but not least, a website design that might stick around. (HA!)
