What a weekend...

8 hockey games
5 soccor games
1 mock wrestling match
1 sword battle
------------------------------
2 happy children
1 happy Wife
                      - Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was my weekend. On another positive note, across my web sites and Deviant watchers after nearly 8 years of blogging, web site making and being online, I have a whooping 4 dedicated followers. That is pretty impressive.
I wonder if the new comic book had anything to do with it all? Read it here...

~ Enjoy!~

Best job in the world....

There are a lot of amazing jobs/careers out there. People have asked me what I think the best career is, my answer is always the same. Parenting is the best career in the world. It is 24 hours long, it can be thankless and your surrounded by people you love. I have to add it pays ZERO in monetary cash.

 I would have had 50 children if I have the income to support the family. If your without a family or children you truly do not know what your missing. The advantages of children over not having children are pretty large in scale. What needs to happen is a rescaling of society moral views. Everything in life has a certain level of importance. Trying to measure it is a difficult thing.

Starting your own family is a very important and integral part of making a more rounded and brilliant person. Next time you tweet, try tweeting about family. Make it a priority in your life. Perhaps more entrepreneurs will then become a working part of that important piece of your life.

The only thing truly missing from life is the balance between work and life.

galleria

I decided to do an illustration yesterday. It was a small piece which took all day. The art was about 6 hour with planning finishing and lunch break. Then I had to prep the frame and create the second mat mount sheet with cut and outline. That took a few hours. Then Framing of the piece. You can see I went in a non-expected direction. I'm so tired of the straight on framing styles used that I tried to go out on a limb. I hope you like what I did.

I may submit this to an art show. I'm contemplating if this will fit the theme... Meh... I need to think this over more.

wall paintings...

What hangs on your walls?
Well old art of course. Here are a few I like to look at on a daily basis. Reminds me of where I've been and where I would like to be. It inspires and makes me chuckle all the more.

art - write and more

I have participated in a few projects over the last little while that has kept me busy enough. For those of you that enjoy a rousing pen and paper RPG (Role playing game) then you might want to track down this e-publication for helping yo plan your game..."1372-roadside-encounters"

The second book I did art for. It is called "1985" which is a spin off on Orwells tale written years before. This one is really neat to read. It truly feels like a conspiracy theory unfolding too... It rolls off the press today and you should be able to get it a the local convention in Calgary at the end of April.

When I hear more, I'll share more about who to talk to and the final title of the anthology.

My Speed

My fat fingers caused me to get one wrong. Still it is a pretty good casual speed to hammer down on a keyboard. Heck If I was doing the keyboard dance every day I could likely double this number. Still, this is pretty good for a stay at home Dad.

sealed - digital

I've been really trying to keep the brain busy on mundane things. That means keeping myself sharp and challenged with math skills from old grade 10 text book and even practicing my good old typing skills.

I discovered Wizards had a sealed deck builder in the process. So I decided to give it a try and thought that the main goal is to have a ramp, for a strong 3 drop mid game. Here is what I picked from the pile of my pull.

6 Forest
8 Plains
3 Swamp
1 Dimir Guildgate
2 Armored Transport
1 Basilica Guards
1 Basilica Screecher
1 Crocanura
1 Daring Skyjek
2 Deathcult Rogue
1 Dutiful Thrull
1 Greenside Watcher
1 Scab-Clan Charger
1 Spire Tracer
1 Urbis Protector
1 Zarichi Tiger
1 Gift of Orzhova
1 Holy Mantle
1 Knight Watch
1 Miming Slime
1 Pit Fight
1 Predator's Rapport
1 Smite
1 Verdant Haven

It will not beat a standard deck but it sure will secure 2 wins at least in a local game club sealed event. Pretty fast to play this one too. You get to bombard your opponent until you draw a 5 or six drop to shift the game. Even if you don't make that draw, you still continuously hammer the opponent until you start getting health back through the game and possibly turn the game around.... Just watch out for those "Reckoner" and "Lords of the void". This deck would not last long against any 7 drop creature entering the field.
