I got spoiled by my premium membership... God those ads are annoying. Anyway, renewed my subscription after a few week lapse, and I'm glad I don't have to see another ad here for a year. Figured I'd change my journal skin while I was at it too. Kind of a fresher look than before.

Anywho, as you may have noticed, I've been updating quite a bit recently, two good photo outings in the last two weeks. I'd call that progress. Probably won't get a chance to go shooting this weekend, as my parents will be over and they'll probably want me to spend time with them. Oh well, maybe next week.

Two other items of progress to list, 1) I'm finally getting to work on Department 13 after a decade in development. I should be able to start posting soonish, but I'd like to get a good number of pages ready first. Also with this, I've enlisted the help of longtime cohort ~missbunny to help develop my website for the project; if nothing else, the site will look good even if the comics suck. 2) As part of my plan to promote my artwork I've submitted a few of what I think are my better photos from the last year  for consideration to the Ohio State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition. There's a chance to win some cash prizes and sell some art, but more importantly, get my name out as an artist.

At any rate, I'd say overall my artistic outlook might be slowly improving. Maybe. Or not, I don't know...
