an update + new portfolio designposted Aug 27th 2009, 3:37PM
Mood: ALIVE!
Hi, I've been inactive in here/DA and other social places whole holidays I guess. But I guess I had a few good reasons.
First of all, vacations! Yes, thats the time I get out of the computer and do something irl. Well, mostly... most of the time was spend outside my city, then in Ko?obrzeg at Sunrise festival (which was one week of hella brilliant party), back to south side to hills and so on.
Secondly, thats the time when I can actually use my free time in some creative way other than studying... I got myself a sketcher's toolkit with 8 ordinary pencils, 4 charcoal pencils and 2 charcoal cube things, as well as 2 erasers one ordinary and one called "bread eraser", dno't know how you call it in English. Drawing with charcoal is pretty weird. I get used to draw thin lines and you just can't do it with charcoal, it's not for lineart I guess. Gotta get some training articles, you can do pretty good pictures with it (or get a decent vacation time job)
(maybe next year...)
Too bad I don't have working scan- *cough* I can capture my recent sketches with camera (duh, forgot I have it) but I must focus on one other thing right now, read on!
Finally, time to take a seat in my green chair and stick my eyes onto the screen. I've received a mail from Google... I mean a real list in my mailbox (gosh, those words sound so Internet-ish those days). Anyway, I got a 200PLN (zlotys) bon for the AdWords service, meaning that I can get my website advertised online and get some business world's visitors and potential clients on my portfolio. The problem is - I don't have any portfolio. Yes, last one was taken down after I realized how bad it is. I was lurking on CSS galleries and, well... my last site wouldn't fit there. So I started making a new one.
After many tries, 5 to be exact, I've finally threw out old sketches, made up my mind and started designing new portfolio. Here's unfinished version of it, already filled with JavaScript (jQuery):
honestly, I have no idea where I got that subscription from. It was some journal CC posted a long time ago and I clicked the link and bought a 2 month (I think) subscription.
2 months? Well, I don't see any star near your nickname (I still don't know if that thing shows if user got sub or is a cast member though) so it must be another silly sheettyart's bug.
Lucky you I must say.
nah, since i was one of the first people who purchased one i think it's longer or something. I had to wait a year or two after all.
and the star means cast member.
