So if  you couldn't tell by my New Year's comic I plan on really buckling down this work. I've been coasting along since I moved to NYC but I feel it's time to really get to work on things I want to. Those three resolutions (game less, sleep in less, drink/spend less) are really in hope of giving me more time to work on personal skills and projects. Specifically, in order of importance, I plan on 2013 being a productive year:

1. Make a new website
2. My first personal business card (tied into the site's new design)
3. Continue to hone my (digital) painting skills
4. Use said work to create a weekly blog showcased on my new site
6. Possibly begin making some small proof of concepts for some game ideas I have
5. Begin practicing guitar to take breaks from art/code rather than video games

I've already started flats for the new site (which will heavily feature my DeviantArt and other social media outlets) and my business card design has gone through many iterations at this point but is coming to a point. I'm excited for the new year and I hope you'll all (0 of you) join me!

Wow! I have a 100 Deviations up! It's nice looking back and seeing the progress. I've come quite a way but there's still so much more to do. My objectives for the new year, in case I don't get a chance to state resolutions at the end of the month, are to dial down the number of TV shows and video games I consume in favor of working on my art, website, business card, and possibly even picking up the guitar again. I'd also like to get more involved in game development and design if possible (aka start by learning Flash). Wish me luck and here's to 100 more deviations.

The hurricane passed us by. Thankfully Crown Heights, my area of Brooklyn, suffered little. So I had a four day weekend with electricity and internet. I spent most of Monday working on the "Trick or Treat Snake" deviation I posted recently. Turned out pretty good but sadly it didn't ignite the firestorm Raz did. I'll chalk that up to Psychonauts being a much more cult classic game with devoted fans. Also my title for the comic kinda gave away the joke. O well.

I biked up to Manhattan to see what the city was like. All power is out below 18th street and I still don't have a light for my bicycle (it's in the mail) so it was a bit scary getting back in the dark. Thankfully the storm also meant traffic was generally light. I took my SLR and got some photos. I hope they come out ok once developed, I'd forgotten how to use a lot of the camera's features it's been so long since I used it last.

So recently I've decided that in order to draw more attention to my online work I should start doing more fan art stuff (and hot girls) since that's what seems to really draw the views. So I spent most of my blog art time today making some fan art for Psychonauts depicting Raz and boy howdy did it work! I'm currently on the frontpage of Reddit (r/gaming) and it's the first piece on my DA account that's really drawn a massive response. Clearly I need to keep doing this kind of stuff! Thanks to everyone for the upvotes, likes, comments and favorites. Please don't look too far back in my gallery! I hope to bring more great work soon!

Feel like I'm in an artistic lowpoint now after finally finishing that book cover. Need to work on a large, physical, piece. Maybe time to finally break out the oils again!?
