A revived hobby

I’ve had the urge to start doing some of that artsy-fartsy stuff over the last few months. So when the kids asked what I wanted for Christmas, I said a couple of tubes of paint, or paint brushes, or something like that. I just have to buy a few more colours now, and I’m gonna start some practice stuff soon.

In the meantime, while waiting for Christmas (always a kid) I bought a new drawing tablet for my computer, because my old one was starting to skip. Then I found a cool painting program called ArtRage that simulates real paint (well as close as you can get, with a computer anyway)

Here’s one of my humble attempts in the digital method – sorry FaceBookers – don’t know how this will show up there, you might have to click away from Facebook for a moment… (oh no! … Gasp! what if I can’t get back? AaaRGGH! what should I do? click on the view original post thing in Facebook)

Amy on the Rocks

So this is my digital painting. If you click on the picture, you should get a bigger version. (I think – I upgraded this blog software a while ago, and everything doesn’t work how I want it to just yet. Another days project I guess.

In the coming days and/or weeks I hope to add some real paint stuff here too.

And for all you FaceBookers, here’s a link back to the farm. Yes, I’m poking a bit of fun at you. Probably ’cause I just don’t get it – guess I’m just not quite into the 21s t century yet.

Anyone have my Taiwan DVD?

I seem to have lost my Taiwan DVD. All I have are these little lo-quality files that I made for something or another a long time ago. I found them on my old computer. I can’t re-make it cause the original DVD files were on a hard drive that crashed. And I don’t want to rebuild it from scratch, cause it would take me months to sort through all of the photos and video we took. And it wouldn’t be the same…

I have a video of Taipei

and Taroko National Park

I do have the case for the DVD though. It’s empty.

So, if I have lent the DVD out to you, please let me know. Or if there’s anyone who has a copy, I’ll borrow that and burn a new one.

Happy Birthday Graham

Happy birthday, Graham (wherever you are in Taiwan)

I know it’s a day late (two days in Taiwan).

Just wondering – what the *@!! are you trying to do in this photo?
