So we start 2002 off in a high note - I got my first wacom tablet for Christmas 2001!! No more mouse!! January 28, 2002 - GALADRIEL My first full piece done on the tablet - Galadriel! Of course Fellowship of the Ring had JUST come out so I was on a LOTR kick. February 1, 2002 - ART POST: GINNY OEKAKI (HARRY POTTER) So ok, this chat board program called an "oekaki board" started popping ...
So now we move onto my favourite art of 2000 and 2001 -- this post covers the smallest amount of time I'll be doing this week, because there was SO MUCH ART these two years. At this point I had 2 issues of SunDowner under my belt and finally felt like I was getting comfortable in my drawing style - and I was on the verge of getting into Harry Potter so these 2 ...
This week for my Birthday Blog Bash, I'm going to be featuring some of my favourite art from over the years. Considering my site really got its start as my art portfolio (before moving into costuming), there's a LOT to cover in the earlier years. So this post will cover the earliest -- 1997 through 1999. Obviously I have no posts from 1997, since that was the era of my AOL webpage and ...
Here's my last post for this week's birthday stuff! It's my fav posts/moments/memories of 2013 through 2018. And some of my not so fav; but they were important anyway. February 19, 2013 - WE ARE HOME ! DISNEY WORLD RECAP We enjoyed our solo trip in 2012 so much we decided to do it again in 2013. April 29, 2013 - HOME FROM C2E2 Since Chicago is halfway between Chase's family and Memphis, we decided to ...
I know 2005-2012 seems like a HUGE chunk of time. But in this space there were times where I didn't post much -- blogger stopped working regularly, we got married, moved twice, so in some cases posts were sparse. But let's get on with it -- my fav posts/memories/moments of 2005-2012. JANUARY 16, 2005 - MY NEW SERGER! AND QUI-GON UPDATES I bought my serger!! And I still don't completely ...
Onto my next installment of my favourite blog posts - this time covering 2002 through 2004! There was a lot of change in these years; I self-published SunDowner in 2002 but then kinda burnt out, art-wise and focused more on costuming going into 2004. January 14, 2002: WHEN THE PEE DIDN’T SOAK IN It's an older story but it checks out, sir. January 28, 2002: GALADRIEL This was my first full drawing with my wacom tablet I'd ...
Today I'm going to share some of my favourite posts and memories from the earliest years of my blog. (This doesn't strictly include or exclude art or costume posts - sometimes they interconnect, but posts specifically about art or costumes will be covered in the next 2 weeks.) As I mentioned in my first post about my blog's 20th birthday, I first started "blogging" on my site just by creating an ...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WEBSITE/BLOG!!!! So I don't know the exact date I started my website -- I first started a site in 1997 on aol sometime in 1997. (I have notes saying it was January 1997 but I'm not sure how accurate that is!) Sadly I don't have any of those old files or screenshots of that first version of my site. What I do know is in January 1998, I moved ...
