Deviation Actions
Ok, a while back I made a journal entry of how I about to make my 500th Deviation here:
As I had updated there I didn't realize that journal entries were considered to be deviations. Though I also write, my forte here is the artwork, so that's what I recognize for the count. Minus the journal entries I still had 35 pieces of art to go. No longer. The next art I post will mark my 500th Deviation as far as I'm concerned, so as before I open it up to all of you. To quote:
"...I'd like to open things up to see what you think number 500 should be. After all, without all of your support and interest in my works, I wouldn't be at such a momentous occasion.
Those of you who know my works and style, please post your thoughts on what I should create. If you're new to my gallery, please feel free to explore and I hope you find it to your liking. If so I'd love to hear your suggestions as well!"
As before I still thank you all once again for encouraging my behavior and I look forward to seeing your ideas. Again thank you all for giving me the drive to make this possible

Virtual Commissions: My take on AI created art....
There has been a huge wave of AI generated art in the last few months. I'll be the first to say it does incredible things and I've seen some amazing results people have shared. I've tinkered with it myself on an image or two and I've been on the whole impressed by what these AI packages have been able to produce. The question... is what an AI creates, art? Of course it is. Art can be achieved by all manner of methods and media and this software is creating images that explore all manner of subjects, forms and expressions. The more apt question... if someone is using an AI to create art. Should they claim it as their own? No. In my mind, the AI software is the artist, not the person who gave it the parameters to use as a guide. In a very real sense, AI software fills the role of a Virtual Commission. Just like a client commissioning a human artist, they tell us what they want. They give us parameters and descriptions of what they'd like us to create. We may do a few
Clean Slate
Hello my friends,
I've been away far too long. All manner of things in the Real World getting in my way, plus after all these years I guess I didn't want to admit I needed a break. I tried to peek in when I could and any comments or notes I did my best to make a reply, but for the longest time the drive wasn't there. To make matters worse I just watched my notification count climb higher and higher to the point there were so many it didn't matter if I responded or not, which of course also bummed me out. So a few moments ago, almost on impulse, I did what I was telling myself I should do for months. I wiped the slate clean. 17,000+ no
Commission Sale!
It's tax time again, so I'm not only opening up for more commissions, but they're on sale :) Scenes with multiple characters or complex scenes are the same price as my basic single character rate... $30 for everything! If the scene is extraordinarily busy or more than two or three characters then we'll treat it as two pics (so $60) but generally it'll fit into the basic sale price per pic. Feel free to send me a note and we'll discuss what you need. Happy to do multiple pics in series. Looking forward to working with you :)
Commission Drive Extended!!
Hello all! My trip to enjoy my birthday with exploring all things Wizard at the Harry Potter resort down at Universal Studios Orlando regrettably had to be pushed back a couple weeks. Instead of leaving tomorrow, I won't be going until the 17th of this month. On the bright side that gives me more time to generate a bit more traveling cash so I've extended my commission drive until the 15th!!
As before, I'm offering a deal on my commissions. Normally my rates are $30 for a basic portrait or simple action scene with limited background, but scenes involving complex settings and/or multiple characters generally go at a $30/hour rate (where

Well - I have no strong opinion - though I'm with Pete - the next 499 New Horizon episodes sounds... OK: ludicrous and wonderful.
My only concern is that this decision is holding up our next installment. OK: my vote? The next image from New Horizons. What better tribute than an installment from what's turning out to be (IMHO) your best series yet.
Then again: it's your only (of two) 500th deviation - I'm cool with whatever you choose. (So long as it's soon!! )
Just trying to encourage your behavior.
