“New Hope #28″ and mixed feelings

Here’s “New Hope #28,” to be listed tonight:

Koopa’s paintings are faring well on eBay…perhaps too well.  While it’s nice that I won’t have to stress over money for a couple of weeks, it somewhat bothers me that my paintings are selling for so little in comparison.  In my brain there’s an issue because everything about our [...]

Insomnia, stickpile, octane, pickles

It’s way past my bedtime, but I don’t feel tired.  This is all just random typing until I bore myself to sleep.
 My mom lives in a town (Old Wethersfield) that’s super-ultra-mega-proud about how frikkin’ early it was founded.  They have very strict housing regulations in an attempt to stay as Colonialish and touristy as possible.  Each residence is [...]

Woman’s World article, “Garden of Hope #2″

 Those of you wanting to supplement your Koopa documentation might want to pick up next week’s copy of Woman’s World (usually located amongst the tabloids.) I did the interview in January, so I assume all of the information it contains will be outdated. It’ll be about various artistic animals, not just Koopa.  I’m not one [...]

It’s getting hot here.

Koopa’s appetite is back!  He ate carrots, sugar snap peas, bananas, strawberries, tomatoes, and romaine lettuce.  No interest in superworms just yet, but I’m hoping that will come with time.  I can’t even begin to tell you all how good it feels to not have to worry about him as much as I was before.  [...]

From 6 readers to 2 readers overnight?

I have no clue what’s going on.
“New Hope #27,” to be listed tonight:

Is anybody there? 2 new paintings.

Nobody has left a comment regarding the video of the drawing, and I’ve only received an email from one of the 3 winners.  Are you all outside? 
I don’t have much new to report.  I had to buy 2 phones today since the old ones died.  One of my goldfish died yesterday too.  Koopa, however, is alive and will hopefully [...]

Random junk and progress!

I woke up this morning to find that the “Celebration #7″ video uploaded to YouTube successfully…but upon watching it, I saw that that quality was near unwatchable.  I promptly removed it.  The UnCut video turned out pretty decent in comparison.  If for some reason any of you can’t view the video, please let me know and I’ll [...]

“Celebration #7″ drawing video (finally)!

Well, it’s done, and it took a long time!  I’m posting a link to the AOL UnCut version of the video because the quality is much better than YouTube’s…plus I don’t think I’ll be able to stay awake long enough to wait for YouTube to ever finish uploading.  It’s too bad that I can’t embed [...]

Cirque du Soleil; video editing has begun…

I’ve gotten a very late start on the editing process.  We actually did the drawing Wednesday night and I’ve already begun eating the entries.  Now all I need to do is edit the clips into something watchable.  Usually I have several program crashes and uploading trouble, but I will finish the video before I go to sleep!  It’s [...]
