The Weighted Average of Watches + Conventions 2013
13 years ago
So Ive had a few new watchers over the last couple of months, thank you!
I will gradually check out every one of your pages. Mind you it takes a while for me to go through alot of people and I have a list of some 80 people to check out, as well as about 200 artists bookmarked to check out, so its an ongoing, unending effort. If I watch you back, its because either your a good artist, you get good art commissioned of you, I like your character, or some other reason I may not even fathom myself.
A bit about myself:
I'm one of those computer networking geeks. Im pretty much all about three things: Security, Radio/Electronics and the Arts.
My current projects are roughly thus:
Various lighting up things for Rainfurrest and otherwise. Stuff like LEDs and EL wire and complicated
I have a fetish for (electro-)mechanical computers, its not a -real- computer unless it clicks, clacks, grinds and whirs. On that end, wanted: Wright 2600 Manual Keypunch and/or IBM 029 Duplicating Keypunch... I honestly believe Lady Ada was the first computer programmer and Charles Babbage came very close to revolutionizing the world and bringing us into the computer age 100 years early. Im currently musing about printing a difference engine on a makerbot.
Im working on some digital repeater stuff to be used at Rainfurrest 2013, we'll see just how far that goes and if Im standing in front of thousands of hackers explaining some aspect of it...
I draw sometimes. I dont like showing it to people or talking much about it most of the time.
I am a fan of the film noir, I feel like most films fail to adequately use light and shadow... I also have a thing for detective fiction. My favorite films are Bladerunner, Avatar, Brick and Chinatown.
I have a thing for stagecraft, and a rudimentary knowledge of it, mostly lighting... I have seen a few plays and always have a little list of ones Im going to see... thats probably why Im staying in Vegas a few extra nights this July...
