1) Now that Deviant Art has made the installation of Journal CSS as simple as clicking a button, I don't have any excuses left. So starting today, I have a pretty new journal, compliments of `thespook.

2) I've officially completed the first month of portraits for my One Self Portrait a Day series. My plan is to switch mediums at the start of each new month. Month 2 will be charcoal/pastel pencils. Just as a reminder, the goals of this project are a) to keep my hand practiced in the art of portraiture and life drawing, since all of the drawings are made with the aid of a mirror and no photos b) to document the passage of time over the course of several months in my life, and c) to document how much a person's face can change from day to day simply according to mood or health. The third goal is two-fold since the images are being captured by myself, as I am prone to human error, and not a machine.

3) I'm a semi-finalist in the Adidas Fingerpainting Contest with my entry, Spirit. Thanks to everyone for your support!

ETA:
I forgot to mention this with my last portrait submission, but I'll go ahead and do it here. I won't be able to post anything for the next several days since I'll be leaving town to visit family (they don't have an internet connection). I'll still be working on the portraits while I'm gone, but I won't be able to upload any new ones until I get back
