I haven't drawn anything in AGES. I recently got a sketch pad for my Mac (it's the time of year that things like that happen...), so I decided to draw something. I took an image of an eye and re-drew the pupil and iris from scratch. The rest of the image remains the same, but the pupil and iris were drawn entirely in Photoshop using brushes and various blending modes. I'm just a little excited about it. :)

Well, there's lots to write about - at least there's GYC to write about...

Yesterday I was in the Silicon Valley, California. GYC ended on Sunday, but I spent an extra day in San Jose because I wanted to hang with the Rosarios. It was soooo good to be back in the States again! I ate at Baja Fresh, signs were in MPH, we had one day of California sunshine, and "I visited the Mother Ship" at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California!

If you've watched the weather, you're aware that the Northern 1/2 of the US has gotten hit with some pretty noteworthy snowstorms. Airports have been closed, and travel has been a disaster. The timing couldn't have been more inconvenient. GYC had just ended, and there were thousands of Canadians flying North - well, maybe not thousands...

All flights into Seattle and Portland were canceled, due to weather, and all my Canadian friends were stranded. Every flight out of San Jose airport was booked through the 28th, so if a flight was canceled, there was no hope of getting home before Christmas. Even those who made it out of San Jose ended up stranded in either L.A. and San Francisco...

I was a little concerned about my flight to Denver. I checked online, and it said it was on time, but it said the same thing about all the canceled flights too...

I made it home without adventure. Here's some pics I snapped just before leaving California:

P.S. Oh ya, I am still trying to rebrand my photography. I have a new website and stuff ready to go, I just need a name and a logo. So if you have any ideas, shoot me an e-mail. Until then, I'm going to continue with "just another photographer."

This year, give presence.
