Taxes#$#@*&

2011-02-15T15:07:00.000-08:00

I know this is not art related but its keeping me from creating,doing TAX work.Or really i should say getting a 25 page book ready for Terry's accountant,and getting all receipts together and yada yada yada.It is still a pain trying to find all the possible deductions so hopefully we get a refund and not have to pay,ugh.

Then i have so many other things i want to do.I finally got another image added to my new shop at Artfire.

I'm Back

2010-12-08T09:20:00.000-08:00

WEll... i know its been forever since i've posted anything,i have had a whole lot going on,from one thing to another.
my daughter Nikki came home end of Aug.and her and the kids have kept me hopping.

Then i got the dreaded black screen one morning when i went to turn my computer on about six weeks ago,finally got it fixed and back about a week ago.It seems to be an alien computer,not mine at all.It looks like my tower,but i lost about all my info and files.He was able to save family photos,which i'm thankful for but i lost all my art files.
But thanks to my friends at EBSQ i called the guy to ask for the bad hard drive back,he said ok but wanted to know what the problem was?i started telling him about all the lost art and friends had suggested to take it else where.Well lo and behold he said he stuck it in a tower he had there and was giving it another look,asked the name of files,i told him Apophysis and he said he seen them,at least some.He told me he felt real bad and to just bring tower back in and he would put the missed things back in at no charge.I haven't taken it back up yet,been a little under the weather.just hope it don't take 3 weeks again.Maybe i should tell him i will stand there and wait,lol.
Anyhow i can't believe its almost Christmas,i am so not ready,AT ALL!!!It seems the older i get the faster time goes and there is never enough time to do the things i want to do.But maybe if i would stay off FB and leave farmville i might get more done,ya think????
Later.....

photoshop

2010-07-02T05:39:00.000-07:00

Boy, Photoshop cs5 is hard!!!maybe if i had used any of the earier versions it would be easier,but i didn't.So..nothing like jumping in with both feet,huh?
Still doing fractals for zazzle,i'm using apophysis 2.09 now.I've tried apo.7x14 but can seem to put the images anywhere,but it IS more for windows 7.I was using 2.083-D hack,but it messed up.There are all kinds of plugins but can't figure those out.
This all is giving me a headach.

Taz

2009-08-08T19:56:00.000-07:00

This is Taz,he's the one i say is just half a dog,he is deformed,he has no neck or tail and his body is like its scrunched up.the vet did't think he would even make it,ginger his mother had 5 pups in this litter,thats to many for a chihuahua.they have2 or 3 most times.so there was'nt enough room for taz to develope,there was one pup that did't make it.but what he lacks in size,he makes up in spunk,thats why his name is Taz.
