Big news of this week is there is a huge sale over on Society 6 with the promo code: HAPPY4TH! It started today, ends on the 5th midnight PST. This is a damn good sale...up to 40% off...I think it includes the new products too! So head on over to Society 6 and get some awesome swag for an awesome price. The purple links are linked to my random page...so you'll see my older works...navigate a bit (on the left side) and blammo! You can get where you need to be getting.
Okay, there is no new art today. I almost have it finished...almost...but I didn't rush it, so next week it should be up and ready to go. Really loving Corel Painter 2019. The UI alone is worth the purchase. It's really made my work flow much easier, which is ALWAYS good. I'm still getting used to everything, but I still stand by their software. I use their Paint Shop Pro 2018 for all my resizing needs. It's not as costly as Photoshop...and I have to say, I never cared for it that much...I've been through a lot of software, free and paid and Painter fits my needs as an artist that does a plethora of different styles. It just works for me. Plus the free trial is always a good thing to see if it works for you. No, I'm not being sponsored by Corel or by any eye drop companies for that matter...I just like to stand by the products I use (Systane for my eye drops of choice).
In other news, I have assimilated the few grey hairs I have. That was the day after last week's blog. Same colour...because I love it so. I want to dye my hair purple black buuuut...that is a lot of upkeep...the colour I do now fades lovely into my natural colour. I do miss my black hair though...I will admit to that. I also will admit I'm not really willing to commit to a colour that doesn't fade well into my natural colour. Especially since I do plan on not assimilating the grey as soon as the grey overtakes my head. Oh boy, I'm being a windbag today...oops!
We have a bit of other news to go through....so maybe you should grab the eye drops. I'll wait. Still waiting. Ready? Okay onward we go! We almost had an impromptu game session last night, but 2 players' couldn't make it AND it was the hubby and I's anniversary. It was quiet, mellow and just our style of doing nothing. He had to work all day, because Canada decided to observe the holiday today. I don't really get that, because a lot of people DID have to work yesterday...but I'm not going to get into that.
This week is a Day of Dad week and most likely a game session, too. We haven't set any dates for the game yet. The Day of Dad is clockwork, unless something comes up...It's going to be a busy month for us...which isn't a bad thing. I'm not sure how next month is looking, but I try not to look that far ahead. Mainly my wall calendar only goes monthly and as I look over, I see many penned in things.
We haven't had a weekly rant lately...so here it comes!!! Can someone turn down the damn heat and humidity? Please? UGH! Melt your face off hot is not my cup of tea or coffee....It was in the mid 40's (that's over 100F) for the past few days...and it looks like there is no relief in sight. No storms, either. If we had storms...I might rant less...but just the melt your face off hot weather....and for those of you that are giving me the stink eye and live around me or where ever it's melt your face off hot, if you say you love this weather and are running your A/C in your home/car, you do not love this weather. Just like I can say I hate winter and summer. I like fall and spring...where you don't need heat or A/C, have the windows open and enjoy being outside without the threat of hypothermia or heat stroke. I think extreme heat and cold makes people, especially me, little Miss Polly Pissy Pants. I like warm weather, I do...but the kind that I don't have to have the A/C's on. Weekly rant over...maybe we'll make this a thing...lol. I always have something to rant about. What say you, minions? Shall we have a weekly rant in the blog? Comment below, or contact me.
On that note and some minor eye strain. Remember to check out Society 6 and the amazing sale they are having. I hope everyone has a safe and happy week (see I bounce back from rants) and I'm hoping I'll see you next week with a new piece. I'm planning on taking a vacation soon. I need to recharge my batteries. I will let you all know when I set a week aside. Until next time minions, be well, be safe and keep cool!
