This is just another nail in the coffin of my good old iMac.
Google has decided to retire any support for my reliable work-horse of a machine as of this week - and this is a pretty impact because of all the google-based sites and programs people routinely use.
Previously this year it was Skype and before that it was tumblr.
All the warning I got when it happened was a big middle-finger and F*** YOU from them when I tried to log in.
I am very reluctant to part with this computer because it was the first art-dedicated machine I bought with my money earned as an artist.
This planned obsolescence is crap because most updates are just features that cater to newest operating systems.
Seriously? I have been getting tons of Mac updates for my phone for features only needed if you have an iWatch!
This is just the new version of bloatware when you are overloaded with new features and functionality that you really just don’t need.
No legacy support anymore… and the period between forced updates is getting shorter and shorter.
Time to either risk an update and hope all my software will work on the new operating system for a year or two… or save up to buy a new comp.
Either case really depresses and stresses me out at the same time.
UPDATE: What a coincidence. Google is having a software conference right now showing off their new software and platforms to make the world a better place.

Decisions... decisions...
I have been on Deviantart for just over 10 years... wow.
I started as a lurker and after a couple of years decided to up my game and actually post stuff.
I was such a eager little art newbie that my ego exceeded my talent but I didn't know any better at the time.
Now it is more like the opposite with so many great artists here to inspire and drive me to get better and in turn people who actually say I inspire them.
Wow.
But now we got a whole lot more than Deviantart to rely on.
Facebook, twitter, instagram and tumblr allow us artists to find and share great art - in fact Deviantart allows us to upload to some these sites and more (goog
Becalmed - a personal update
Sorry for not being very active online lately but had to deal with a few things lately that never fails to take the wind out of my artistic sails when they happen.
My brother is staying at home right now and should soon be getting his skull back together in a couple of weeks. His rehabilitation is coming along well but he still acting very impulsive and reckless. I will feel better when he has a whole skull in place to protect his brain from injury.
My mom is fully recovered from her quadruple bypass surgery but she still has the issue which lead to her heart attack in the first place. Ablation took care of the messed up signals but now sh
Sketchy party - all spots are filled.
Thanks for all the requests people!
The first 9 spots have been paid for and the remaining people who have asked for a sketch commission should have already gotten their confirmation email from me.
From this point on any additional requests will be put on a standby list and will be notified if I can manage the extra workload comfortably.

Hello.
Ok,
I started writing this to give you a head's up I finally finished the commissions I started last year and was going to do a buttload of posting soon but I dedcided to give a personal update as well for those interested.
I am definitely not back to normal working habits and to be honest still a little distracted with family matters for the last month or so.
To sum up:
- my mom is fine but is getting a pacemaker in a couple of weeks (she is understandably worried about going back to the hospital)
- my brother is slowly recovering from his stroke and is now in rehab to help him recover/retrain the right side of his body and speak with l

Oh oy. I know what you mean. WHen I got my new laptop a couple of years ago i feared Photoshop CS2 (which I use) wouldn't work, but thankfully it does (on windows 8.1) though I still don't know WHY they have apps... on a PC.
