Doodlebug July #1 – Hootbot
Did any of you guys have one of these growing up? I did. Mine was missing its tail but holy crap I loved that little guy.
…so apparently, no one but my family knows what a Hootbot is. It’s a toy from the 80s.

Is there a prime time for posting art? I always just post it hot off the press (bad habit), which puts it somewhere in the middle of the night usually… Should I make a queue to put things in and have it post mid-morning or afternoon or something if I want more exposure? I don’t really want to reblog my own posts (is that a good or bad thing?), but will if need be, since I guess a lot of peoples’ dashboards are super crowded so they miss things.
HMMMM.
Thoughts/opinions/etc?

Such a menacing and beautifully layered cover. This is a pretty great Akira instrumental if ever i heard one. Excited to see what other stuff they’re going to make.
My insides melted listening to this.
For digital painters/artists – what size do you generally set your canvas to when you’re thinking about a 8.5 x 11 print? I’m still pretty new to this and last year I kept going waaaay too small and getting terribly pixelly results!
I usually set mine to 8.5 x 11 as far as dimensions go, but the most important thing to watch is your resolution. For print, I never go anything lower than 300, but that seems to work for MOST things.
So a typical canvas of mine will look like this in Photoshop:
I hope this helps somehow!!! If not, check out this wikipedia article on DPI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_per_inch

Okay, so for the last week I have been in the fairytale land known as Washington state for my older brother’s WEDDING. Aaron, my mom, and my little bro and I all traveled together, which was great ‘cause we haven’t done a family trip since 2004.
We flew from Utah to Portland, Oregon, then drove up to Vancouver, WA, then to Seattle the next day, then took a ferry to FRIDAY HARBOR on San Juan island and there we had the wedding, which was beautiful. Jeff (now-married brother) seems so, so, so happy, which makes ME so, so, SO happy. <3
The food was amazing everywhere we went. It rained a lot, which was BEAUTIFUL. My skin was so happy to not be in an arid desert, and I enjoyed being outside because the overcast made it so I wasn’t burning to death. My mom kind of wonders if my family is mildly allergic to the sun ’cause none of us like being outside because BURNING. Washington, though, we didn’t have that problem. I didn’t have to use lotion, either, and everyone’s allergies seemed to clear up. Weird.
Basically, we’re all in love with Washington and my desire to move there has increased 100x.
Other fun things:
I guess that’s it, though.
It was basically amazing, but now I’m even more broke and have to go back to work tomorrow. T___T;
