05.09.2012 @ 7:20 pm - Yikes, Server Outage! Site is back, now.

My apologies for the server outage. I have no idea what caused it, but something broke WordPress in the wee hours of the morning. I had to back up the whole site and restore it from a previous version, which always takes far too long because my connection isn’t as quick as it could be. Fixed now, though. It does emphasize that I’d like to move to a newer codebase in the near future, though. More on that later.

Anyway, we’re back. Sorry for the interruption.

05.07.2012 @ 2:38 pm - Daily Art on hold (for now)

You may have noticed the Daily Drawings have concluded for now. I’m still working on some study stuff in the background, but I’m going to discontinue the Daily Art until I get the new batch process worked out. It’s just filler stuff anyway, though it might be useful for the times in-between batch updates. We’ll see. I want to focus more non-PS page updates on process stuff in the future, including some more tutorial stuff, which is the sort of thing I’ve been doing as live talks in recent years. It’s about time to put more of that online, too.
