I’ve added a new site to the line-up. 500posts.com

I posted earlier on this blog that I went to Vancouver to help my buddy Kev Chu out on a project produced by Heavy Metal Mag, animated by Blur Studios, written by Kevin Eastmen, and directed by David Fincher. It - was - awesome.

Kev and I spent 10 days working, walking the town, drinking coffee, more working, eating crepes, spending waaaay too much money at Book-Off, working and painting some more, and eating like kings. Good times, thanks a ton, Kev.

But while I was out there I felt something I hadn’t for quite some time. Some inspiration. I usually putter along on auto-pilot, monitoring and doing fixes here and there for the various projects we have going on, but I don’t always feel inspired - like - not in the way where I not only have to do something, but I have to PWN it.

I guess it’s just getting competitive again, finding the inspiration in other artists/painter’s works and pushing yourself to play at that level. I have put off learning to paint for sooo long, I thought Kev just about gave up on me.

My hope with 500posts.com is to learn to paint - and after that? Well, there’s no reason why it only has to be a painting site - it could be the realization of pretty much any personal goal of 500 posts.

I’m now off to do the 2nd of the 500 posts!
