11:22 This morning it has been determined that I: 1) Am not awake. 2) Am a possibly sentient Tesla Coil. 3) Do not accept lint as payment for sex. #
21:38 Chili on day 2, after slowly cooking for several hours on simmer: Awesome. Tomorrow I may bastardize it with some culinary experimentation. #
01:38 Watching last ep of Holmes In New Orleans, while neck deep in concept art. Hopefully switching apps will help the concept process. #
02:24 Ya know, I like Manga Studio, but there are some aspects that not very intuitive. Like exporting line art without background. :| #

[Art] Boobie Wednesday Art Now Available On T-Shirt

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 23:05:17 GMT

For those who expressed interest in the shirt of yesterday's art post, you can order it here, courtesy of the girls who founded Boobie Wednesday:

www.cafepress.com/BoobieWednesday.408971937

All proceeds go toward Breast Cancer Awareness/Research. Further details on both the artwork, and Boobie Wednesday, are in the aforementioned post as well. Also, it's my understanding that there are other options for printing, for those who may wish a v-neck style shirt instead.

[Art] 10 AKA My Contribution To Boobie Wednesday

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:16:20 GMT

For reference, this is not an exercise in perversion. ;) Rather, "Boobie Wednesday" (or #boobiewed and the lesser used #boobiewednesday, which are the Twitter hashtags) is a theme started by two women on Twitter who wanted to do something to promote Breast Cancer Awareness. Every Wednesday, there's an increasing number of people who change their Twitter icon to something breast/cleavage-related for the day. Additionally, a number of them submit photos for the blog, in support of Boobie Wednesday, and Breast Cancer Awareness.

You can find their blog and site-affiliated Twitter here:

http://boobiewednesday.blogspot.com/
http://twitter.com/boobiewed

FYI: While my picture below is safe for work, some images/photos that go onto the blog are NSFW, as they may contain nipples. So, if you work in a strict environment, you might want to look at the site at home.

I wanted to find a way to contribute (after all, who doesn't like breasts?), and decided to do a piece of artwork for it a few days ago, gratis. Furthermore, I've given them consent to utilize the image in any capacity, so long as it's for the purpose of promoting Breast Cancer Awareness (this includes promotion of the blog and Twitter themes, as they were created for the same purpose). So, as of this afternoon, I've given consent for them to use it on a T-shirt, all the profits of which will go toward the cause.

So, without further ado:

(Full-size version may be found here.)

Piece was done from start to finish yesterday afternoon and evening. I will post details, along with some of the work-in-progress pieces from it, sometime on Sunday or Monday.

In other art-related news: I haven't forgotten about the Shadowrun pieces, I'm just being polite, waiting for publication to finish before posting them. Once that happens, I'll post them here in short order. For the curious, there are a handful of people who have seen them, including archmage, gamera_spinning, bull22, and kuromu. You will see other work between now and then, as I'm working steadily on other projects (one of which may have been missed if you weren't paying attention to this post *grin*).

Enjoy.
