Remember That 100 Themes Challenge?


Talk about flakey, I think I give on accomplishing that- at least, that particular list. I'll get back to you. ;)

44 and a Quarter!


I come, today, at least, to bring good tidings!

No, all right, I haven't made any updates to Cheeky Resources or Cheeky Graphics or deviantART to speak of and, true, I haven't found anything new to feature as of yet, but I do have good news...I just don't have all of the details yet :P

Go read the Wall Street Journal or, I suppose, you could wait until I get back and edit this with more details.


[Wall Street Journal: Rewriting The Rules of Fiction]

You may not be able to see the many many interviews with several of the HPFF staffers, but they're in there.

Updates to Cheeky Resources

I haven't made a lot of updates to the graphics side of the site since I last posted - save one set that I'm currently using, but I did do quite a bit in terms of resources over the last few days.

Also, did I mention a ton of new light textures? I'm not sure if I did.

Art Drives Pain

It appears that I threw my back out on the fourth and, after several different pain killer/caffine/calesthenic combinations have been successful to varying degrees, I thought it might be important to, not only take a minute to bitch about how badly my spine hurts, but also to note that I probably won't be making any updates as I have yet to find a single way to sit in front of.....well, any PC without wanting to throw up because it hurts so badly.

If it's any consolation, I did start a piece to represent Introduction. The concept is literary - I'm thinking along the lines that the most educated of men will never have the opportunity to meet the most influential people in their lives.

I'm also rolling my eyes at the TV slam ad's for local government races. But, ya know :) And, hey, in case you wonder how, if being in front of a PC hurts, i'm posting this, i'm on a laptop sitting in my livingroom in the most ergonomic chair I own with a towel supporting my neck.

Who wants a martini?

100 Themes Challenge

I've, of late, been uninspired to pursue pieces for my own enjoyment.

(You can always tell when I start filling requests and challenges out of sheer terror that my skills will deteriorate.)

In any case, the beau helped a bit with some very basic desktops made out of some rather attractive females. (Customarily, this would be the point at which I would give you a link but, I'm reluctant to admit that some of the images used as stock were sort of...not stock ;) So I won't be sharing because, while I can't always say I respect the "no use" rules, I at least never put "no use" images, made for personal use, online.)

Anyway, with that abysmal news looming on the horizon and me staring in terror of even so much as embarking upon the task that is creating a new Author Page note, I decided to jump on the trend-wagon and give a go to this 100 Themes Challenge.

I can't gaurentee that they will all be the same thing, or that I will even accomplish it, but I'm going to give it a try out of pure boredum. And then, when I get done, i'll set my own challenge - the 100 Styles Art challenge because, yes, I am cruel and hateful ;).

Hell, even doing the 50 or so that aren't "huh?" will probably tide me over until i'm inspired to do something else :)

Typos

I gotta feel the love.

There's a typo on my index page and, i assume, all of the other pages and no one told me :) Course, now i'm not feeling ftp-ish but later i will be and Cheeky Grphics will read Cheeky Graphics.
