Uh . . . hi?
Holy shit! Say Whaaa? Jeepers.
In 12 hours I have seen my follower count increase tenfold. More. Thanks Pixel Pixies!!
I started this page to allow me to show my respect for others work in the form of ‘likes’ … passive I guess, but it’s been a drag until now that I haven’t been able to even do that.
I am happy with my current blogs and will be keeping them, so, this isn’t going to be a heavily used site for me - at least - not in my current thinking.
The idea of {BRACES} was that it could be used for asides. It’s a typographical term - a type of bracket - but it is very much the manner in which I speak and write. Lord knows (holding my hand to the air, shaking my head - testifying - in my most dramatic Southern pantomime), I am prone to a good Shakespearean soliloquy. Perhaps this will become the picture version of that trait.
So. This arena will be something that supplements other ideas whether they are from my CC blog or my side blog where I ramble on. I might show previews of items being made or something I like in my game.
Certainly, I will announce when I have things to give away, but you’ll have to download it … you know … over there.
I saw this and it made my day <3
I got one of those awesome emails in my inbox today. It really got me to thinking as I bit in to that delicious download and shivered from the eargasmic music embedded within. Think think think think…..
So I started looking up names of people to mass PM all my love to but then decided that I either don’t know what names have changed and who is all around and this and that blah blah blah blah so I made a SPAM THREAD and I hope that to any it applies to - you see!
I just wanted to give my general thanks to everyone who makes Lucid the kinda place it is. I started out just playing around with making avatars for my Livejournal account but it has rapidly changed my entire life. I’ve always been an artist in different fields but graphic design always seemed too far away of my realm to even consider trying for.
When I joined here I was a newb. Compared to a lot of the extremely talented people on here, I still feel appropriately labeled as a beginner (middle grade at most). However, I have gained so much knowledge and insight from my time lurking around here that I’ve not only been able to outshine my coworkers ( I work in a printing department and I have a lot of graphic tweaking and design for business cards, letterheads, logos, etc. ) where I am now but I’ve even made heads turn around the area by having several ads I’ve made for small businesses appear successfully in the newspapers. I’ve done club fliers, album covers, CD designs, etc. I’ve even helped saved small fashion boutiques with cleverly designed coupons. ( Promise I’m not trying to brag TOO much here… just pointing out the success I’ve had. )
I’ve been ridiculously busy with work and my freelance work and getting things ready to pursue this passion in school so I haven’t been able to post much but I always think back to here.
Without the thoughtful tutorials on pen tooling I would have been lost. Hell, without ANY of the tutorials here I would have been totally lost. Without the SoTW contest I would have never pushed myself in to the early hours of the morning working on a single tag making it THE BEST I could….usually to be met with one or two votes and not winning but still finding myself satisfied that I could hold some ground next to the genius I competed against. Without the truthful and compassionate feedback I would have never been able to discover depth in my work the way I do now. Without the encouragement of this fantastic community I don’t know if I would have ever went after this the way I have with the success I’ve been met with.
Someone once told me, “You have the eye and the talent…. just not the knowledge yet. This can be fixed! Keep studying. Don’t give up,” from here. I’ve followed that.
Though my presence may be absent more often than not - my appreciation most certainly isn’t. Thank you. Thank you so much.-stephtastical
and I say to you steph,
What It Do, All of You?
Grrrrrrreetings, my fellow Terranauts. How goes it? Welcome to the blog of Everybody’s Lovely Muddy Dixie Whistlin’ Press. Here, we will regale you with tales of normalcy, peppered with moments of unbelievably cool shit. Mostly, this is about poetry and the power of free speech/expression. Simple, yes? Enjoy, and take care out there.
Hello, Tumblr. I’m Elmo’s half brother Jonathon who will be running his blog while he is on an indefinite hiatus to finish his thesis/studies. I look forward to getting to know you all and sharing some art!
I just made an Instagram account yesterday and I’m using Elmo’s Twitter account while he’s offline too, so feel free to follow me on those.
Elmo said I should introduce myself first. So, a little bit about me…
My name is Jonathon York and I’m a 25-year-old male living and working in Paris, France. I was a Computer Sciences and Mathematics major at A.U.P. but in June of 2011, I dropped out to pursue a career in modeling (don’t hold it against me). I am a part of the ongoing New Faces program @ Ford Models Europe and now it is my full-time job.
I have a girlfriend of 6 years whom I live with and her name is Chiara.
She’s a Maths major.
Absolutely feel free to drop me a line and tell me a bit about yourself! Elmo said he’s made some real good friends on Tumblr, so for the time I’m online in lieu of him, it would be great to get to know you all. While he has told me pretty much exactly what to do, I am new to all this so please pardon my naiveté! Any advice or help I might need if I am doing something wrong would be greatly appreciated.
I’m going to bed now because it’s late but Elmo said something about a queue in a few hours so there will be some posts. He also said to keep this short and sweet, which I did not. I will reply to any messages I receive tomorrow during the day.
Thanks!
