Looks like Deviantart found out about the free publicity on Comedy Central.
What is the best (and worst) April Fools day joke that can happen to an artist?
Seeing your art on tv being looked at by Chris Hardwick and Seth Green and it happening on April 1st so anyone you tell will think it is a joke!
It happened to me and even I didn't believe it until I saw it myself.
Last night one of my watchers started asking me about how it felt to have my art on Comedy Central.
Naturally I thought it was a joke... until a few more people started mentioning they saw it on tv too.
I still didn't believe it, but now I was curious what show it was on.
It was literally the March 31st show of At Midnight (airing after midnight so literally on April 1st) hosted by Chris Hardwick and one of the guests was Seth Green. Naturally the episode had a Robot Chicken/Star Wars theme to it.
I usually watch this show after Daily Show/Colbert but tonight I decided not to. I wound up catching it when it repeated at 2 am.
9 minutes in I saw the category and the question which my image was the answer. (Screencaps courtesy of )

Look familar? A lot of people instantly recognized it.

Now before you start thinking this is an April Fools days joke complete with photoshop, here's the actual episode as streamed by Comedy Central. (The category Star Weirds begins 9 minutes into the show)

You got me this time universe... it's my turn now!
deviantART was on TV + join the art challenge!A long time ago (about 24 hours), in a galaxy far, far away (down the road in Hollywood), comedian and television host Chris Hardwick introduced a segment on his late-night Comedy Central show — aptly titled @midnight (get it?) — that got many of us at deviantART all aflutter.
First of all, if you love the Internets and you haven't seen @midnight yet, you're missing out on some serious lulz. A few nights a week, Hardwick invites some comedian pals on the show for some Geek-Centric Improv Comedy. Sort of like a British Quiz Show brought to you by Reddit. Or "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" with slightly less dancing, but an equal amount of thick-rimmed glasses and awkward sexual tension.
In a segment called "Star Weird" on Monday's episode, Hardwick's guests had to choose which of two artistic descriptions was an actual deviation on deviantART. YES, MOM, HE SAID DEVIANTART'S ACTUAL NAME ON TV! MUCH WOW! The comed

Forced E-Retirement
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 feature
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.
