Ehh, it's been about 11 months, I should probably update this.

Yep. Still single, living at (relatively) new place by myself, decided to stick with college major because I'm too poor to change. I am still working the same two jobs, though at one my title has been upgraded to "the head of graphics" as opposed to just "the graphics".

Some of you may have noticed the occasional comic pages I've posted. They're from my webcomic, "Sandstorm Conscience". Specifically, excerpts from the second volume, "Anel Jogo", because I am incapable of drawing the first volume.

Still updating my personal website, though it's dropped to once a week to make time for the webcomic.

See you guys in about another year.

So, how about that turkey dinner, eh? *sweat* I am such a slacker, it's quite shameful. I can't believe it's been over 8 months since I last posted here.

Oh wait. Yeah I can.

Long story short, I've been staying crazy busy. Things have changed (read: broke up with only girlfriend thus far, ended up moving, thinking about switching majors, etc). I'm still burning the midnight oil as a web developer, focusing more and more on the flash and photoshop side of things. Starting a company with two other folks and I'm the graphics nerd, blah blah... nobody cares.

Still can't draw worth crap. Gotten much better at vector drawings recently though. Decided that it might be a good idea to clean up this gallery, considering that it's mostly filled with stuff from high school. Ouch, some of it's dang ugly.

I'm kind of looking for a skilled lineartist right now. I've got a short graphic novel that I've scripted, and have almost gotten the whole thing drafted (with panel layouts, camera angles, everything). The only problem is that it's way beyond my ability to draw. I'm hoping that I can find a person willing to do the linework, and then I can apply coloring (unless we decide to go b-w) and do the other post production stuff. It's not the best of stories, but I'm very attached to it,and I'd love to see it published.

Anyhow, I'm still updating my personal site twice a week. Check it out if you haven't, it's snazzy in several ways. Can't stop the signal.

Well, it's been a long while, so I figured I should do this journal thing again. Meh.

Last time I posted (april) I had made a major breakthrough personally- I had finally started using and understanding Javascript. Since then I taught myself how CSS actually works, and in the past week I have (with the advice of my roommate) set up a webserver and moved the site to it. Exciting times.

I have also gotten a real job as a webdesigner, working for a local art store. Interesting work, and loads more fun than any of my previous jobs. Shows how much self-teaching can pay off.

That's about it. If you're ever interested, go check out tsholden.com, it's showing my increasingly worthwhile work. I update at least twice a week, and have several other people contributing as well.

I've been playing around with Javascript the last few days, trying to teach it to myself with the occasional help of my older brother. It's fun, JS can do some neat stuff. It's not as forgiving as HTML, which is probably a good thing- if I want to be a web designer I need to have flawless webpages. Which is why I <3 my Tidy (it's a Firefox plugin that looks at webpages for errors and gives you basic feedback- according to it, the New Journal Entry page has 67 errors over three main categories. Ouch.)

As always, I must pimp my site [link] because that's where I post new art, articles, and other stuff. Now updating thrice a week.

Hmm, I realize that I should probably have a better journal staring out from my page.

<_<

All I've really got to say is that I have a website [link] that I update twice a week with art or writings. Check it out, 'tis good stuff.
