Blogging Arts Fallout

Holy crap I just realized I haven't updated this since November. Alright well shit let's cover what's happened.
- I spent the months of Christmas updating Handy to a nicely reworked 2.0 in honor of Handy being featured by ImagineFX Magazine as one of Top-10 Apps artists should nab. It's great honor, and was a great motivation. It also got mentioned by Tony Moore of The Walking Dead fame!
- I finished off 2012 with having made 16 songs in that year. Learning piano and working in Ableton so regularly has pretty much whipped my musical ass into shape.
- Finally figured out how to paint on black velvet somewhat alright. I did a painting for a art show featuring WWF Wrestlers on black velvet. Still debating if I want to post it though as I'm mixed on how it came out.
- I spent a large amount of the last part of 2012 working on my own mobile games. It'll be awhile before I get to do much with them (non-compete contracts weeeee).
- And finally I entered Satellite Soda's Daily Draw February fiasco. So if I don't start dumping art into this blog regularly this month I'm a terrible blather and whoever it is that visits this page should yell horrible things at me.

I grabbed the app a few months ago and was really impressed! Congrats on the acknowledgement from ImagineFX and Tony Moore (of whom the wife and I are big fans).
Looks like you've been up to a lot. I too have been meaning to learn the piano for a while now. Even splurged on a nice digital piano a couple years ago. I just don't ever seem to have time for it though :(
Can't wait to see what games you make. Will you be coding as well?
Thanks Lou!
Piano sorta just snowballed once I started taking lessons.
And yup, I'm pretty much coding everything.
Always good to hear from you. You're taking a class from Rad Sechrist? That's pretty friggin awesome.
Coding everything, eh? I started learning objective-c a while ago to make some iphone games. Decided to focus on my storytelling and drawing though (found I enjoyed them a lot more).
And yeah, I'm taking Rad's storyboarding class. I was psyched, when hearing that he's teaching online now, so I just had to jump on it. Been wanting to take his class from CDA for a while ago, but I don't live in Cali. And yes, it's friggin' awesome. I'm learning a lot and I highly recommend it. He even has a Figure Invention for Animation class that I'm thinking of taking next.
I'm gonna have to join you on that Figure Invention class. Doesn't look like a schedule is posted though? Anywho, if you find out when it is I'd damn sure love to look more into it.
I imagine it'll start near the end of March, or early April.
He'll probably post on http://radhowto.blogspot.com/ the next time classes start up. So subscribe to the blog's rss feed. I'm thinking it'll be sometime near the end of March or early April.
If I decide to take the class next (I may actually skip a term just to focus on storyboarding for a few months), I'll definitely be tweeting a lot about it (@louholsten).
