I love my friend. he is a god with Circuits and Magnets. My hard drive lives! which is great because all that work I have put in has not gone to naught. Which is great because part of that data was the files for my Self Publishing Attempt.
Yes you heard it right I am going to be soon Self Publishing one of my children's books. I just got the first proof yesterday in the mail. It looks good. It is paginated wrong but that is because Lulu.com has no information on which page it will start printing on. So right now it going to my friend Barry who is going to copy edit the book and I am going to finish the color corrections next week. I hope to have a book ready for sale with my other cool bit of news.
The long awaited update to my website. It will have new and improved crayons and a new layouts. Check out the new layout designs in my gallery.
So today I lost my hard drive. Thankfully it is not the one I keep all my art on. But still the last two paintings were only on the drive. I hope I can send it to a friend who might be able to get something off it but It still sucks. Tomorrow I am going to sped the day backing up all my art onto DVD's and sending it to a friend for safe keeping. It just really sucks to loose all the work for the last few months in a blip of a power outage. I am tired and pissed so I am going to bed. I just needed to vent.
Life for me has been pretty busy. I am happy to have had a chance to do some art for me for a change. But for all of you who are wondering why I have dropped off the map. I have been learning flash for my current job. So please give them a check out. I have built the flash parts for these websites for Merrick Towle Communications.
ELEMENT 12420: This Flash asked for a resizing canvas, so make your browser window different sizes and see what happens.
Fort Totten Square: It was fun to make the transitions from page to page and the semi 2d/3d panel swap. The client ended up adding music so that is why the load is so big.
The MET GRAMERCY This page I have had to learn how to deal with XML from a feed. It was an interesting challenge. But the building tour turn out well and the client was happy with it.
Hey all I hope you all have a great weekend. I am off to my home in maine so I wont be around for a bit. I hope It will refocus me because lately I have been really scattered and unable to work. I send out love to you all.
Matt
