It's a good question. First, let me apologize for the old -and-run lately.
For the most part, I've been working. My team was helping the Christmas side of our department with the Christmas rush. For a company that makes products to sell for Christmas, that makes our busy season July and August. That rush is done. I was back to a normal 40 hour week for exactly 2 weeks. Now, my team will begin working on Spring items for a company who will remain nameless
I'm not complaining. Not at all. With the economic climate, I truly am thankful to have a job. Like many other companies; we're being forced to do more with less.
I have a busy schedule out of work over the month or so. We're going to see Paula Poundstone at a local club. There is a Wild Mushroom hike. I friend is getting married. And...I'm going to a chili cook-off for a friends birthday. And then it will be time to get out and see the leaves changing for fall. I will have the camera with me for all of them.
Since I've haven't update my journal in so long, I have quite a lot of features. I could have easily had 3 or 4 times as many. There are so many great people here, I find it hard to narrow the list down. I usually like to notify people that I featured their work. At 57 individuals, I hope everyone understands why I didn't.

I keep finding myself in the position of helping to support independent artists on Kickstarter. But dang it, they deserve a patron.
Technically Magi
Dungeons √ Dragons √ — THIS is a dungeon crawl series of a whole new kind. Can one world's computer whiz become another world's wizard?
It's definitely worth a look. Watch the video and I'm sure you'll be interested. It's a mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and roll playing - wrapped up in comic form.
My intent is not to act as a commercial, but to share the work of artists that interest me. I do not get special favors. Only the satisfaction of helping someone to get their art int
more fantastic artists to support
I met the artist of the following Kickstarter, Christopher Campana, and he's a great guy; and he's very close to full funding on his Kickstarter. His story is called "The First World," and is an epic fantasy. Please click through to watch his promotion and see the rewards.
Another Kickstarter I'm backing is by the group of guys from Digital Webbing. It's called, The Fist of Justice. They have some big names working on the project and I'm very excited about it.
Just to clarify - I get nothing out of this, other than knowing I helped out great artists/creators (and of course my reward for being a backer).
indy comic book needs support
I would like to share my passion of helping independent artists, and kindle the same fire in you.
I've made some great contacts at comic conventions, but I can't travel to them all. Kickstarter has helped me find other works that interest me and allow me to throw my meager 2 cents into their pocket. Here is an interesting story that needs to be told.
I get nothing out of this, other than knowing I helped a guy out and my issue of the comic!
Kickass Kickstarter(s)
I don't normally send notes like this for fear people think they might be spam - but this Kickstarter project is awesome! Several artists will be creating and illustrating a short story based completely on the lyrics of a song. They are close to reaching their goal but could use some more backers. Check it out.
Many of the artists are on DA. (Links to all of the artists can be found on the Kickstarter page.)
While I'm at it, I'll plug another project that was fully funded on Kickstarter. Wild Blue Yonder has me absolutely giddy. Post-apocalypse(like) stories always pull me in. The writer, Mike Raicht, is such a great guy. I'm glad I
