Hey folks,

I've had a lot of support from members of this community, emotionally and financially, and I really appreciate all of you who have helped me grow as an artist and as a person. As much as I hate it, because I'm still very self-conscious, I'm beginning to focus more on promoting my work, and so I figured here at JediDefender would be a good place to start.

I'm available for commissions, so just contact me if there's something you've got in mind.

I haven't posted anything in a while, so I figured I'd just toss out my latest work in progress. The first is a rough sketch and layout, the second is also a rough sketch, but more along the lines of a study. The subject matter is Babe Ruth. I'll probably be doing a pretty large watercolor, or mixed media based off of this general idea.

Can any of you direct me to a company in the US that makes custom paper embossers? I have a logo that I will be pressing into some upcoming (hopefully) lithograph prints and possibly even envelopes.

Thanks in advance.

Here lately, I've been more and more depressed with Star Wars... I don't know if its all of the bull**** attached to the community, if its my disapointment in the novels and anime series, the inability to afford any of the merch anymore, or what...

Anyway, I've found myself catching more and more episodes of Star Trek on TV. This started a few months ago, when I was having dinner with a good friend who is a fellow Sci-Fi lover... he expressed his love for Star Trek, and so I asked to borrow his Series 1 DVD's of Star Trek Deep Space Nine...

Last night I caught the Wrath of Kahn... I enjoyed it. Now I can scream, "KAAAAAAHNNNNN!!!!" whenever the **** I want to, and actually know what the reference is.

So my question is, has anyone else started to take interest (for the first time) in Star Trek?

Some oldies but goodies...

I drew this piece in January of 2004... Boy, does time fly! I've always loved this one, and hated it at the same time. It just wasn't 'perfect'. Anyway, I finally went through my portfolio and did a high-res scan to it, to drop onto my website... I figured I'd post it here, too.

I was listening to my folder of James Bond themes, on iTunes, and decided to make a thread on the subject. Alot of us here are James Bond fans, I would imagine... so I'm curious to know where everyone else stands when it comes to their favorite and least favorite Bond theme songs...

My picks for the top 3 best Bond themes :

1. Live and Let Die / Paul McCartney & Wings (1973)
2. View To A Kill / Duran Duran (1985)
3. Goldfinger / Shirley Bassey (1964)

My picks for the top 3 worst Bond themes :

1. Die Another Day / Madonna (2002)
2. Tomorrow Never Dies / Sheryl Crow (1997)
3. The Man With The Golden Gun / Lulu (1974)

I just wanted to make a general announcement to everyone that Chris has lovingly increased the default Quotations font to a more comfortable reading size.

Hopefully everyone will find this to be an improvement.

That is all.

 

So, last night I was talking to my girlfriend... and accidentaly called her by an ex-girlfriend's name.

There was this long pause afterwards, which seemed to last forever, I suppose it was an "Oh ****" moment for me and a "What the ****?" moment for her... but anyway, needless to say I feel absolutely horrible about it. I wasn't even thinking about that other person, but for whatever reason I said her name.

Has this ever happened to any of you?



Never getting any,

Brad
