arfink Posted April 5, 2013 Author Posted April 5, 2013 I never got a chance to tell you about the epic thing that Brian took me to the day we got engaged. (I had actually texted Linda on the way back from the event, promising to tell her all about it, but uh, I forgot. Hahahahaha.) ...What I meant to tell you about, Fink, was the end. After you were all done and exited the area where the stations were, they had a guestbook for feedback and reflection. Across the way from that, there was a big, colorful sign on the wall that read "Draw your reflection." Hanging on the wall were all kinds of pictures people had done. A lot of them looked like children's drawings, but there were quite a few that were very detailed and beautiful, too. They had pastels and crayons and watercolors and markers and even charcoal. Everything you could think of. All colors of construction paper, stamps, glitter, stickers, and a little lamp to work by. Thought you'd have loved it. Maybe one day during Lent or Advent in the future, you can join us. That sounds soooooo cooooool! I would love to do that with you guys some day. :)
AnneLine Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Ohhhh... me too me too!!! Maybe we could do it virtually for some of the Church seasons.... draw stuff and post it in a thread.. add some poems, short stories, reflections of different kinds... videos... just kind of randome stuff and have it as a thread. Being there is better... but lots of ways of be-ing......

Another alternative is to just pay me any other way you have handy, since I know you. :)
arfink Posted April 6, 2013 Author Posted April 6, 2013 Oh, and shipping is $5.60 anywhere in the continental US, for as many as you like.
arfink Posted April 6, 2013 Author Posted April 6, 2013 My grandma's 90th birthday card. :) I love having a laser cutter around the house.
TheresaThoma Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 That is amazing Fink. I'm sure she will love it!
AnneLine Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 That is just beautiful. Is it one layer on heavy stock, or is there more than one layer? Hard to tell from the photo. (Beautifully composed photo, btw...)

(Beautifully composed photo, btw...) It's 4 layers deep, but yeah, the photo doesn't give much of a sense of depth. I didn't get any better shots of it unfortunately because I ran out of time before I gave it to her.
arfink Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 I can't believe I fell off the top page of the lame board! This is horrible! Oh well, back to the top I go. With this picture of a crocodile. http://weaselsgonarf.blogspot.com/2013/04/daily-draw-crocodile-time.html
MissyP89 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Why'd you gotta go and draw that AFTER the art sale? :hehe: He's cute.
arfink Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 Because, each time I have a sale the art's gonna get better. ;) If you want him now though, just ask. Also, the previous ones that didn't sell are also still available
arfink Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 Day 2 of the work experiment is underway now. Spent the morning doing a technical and design consultation, then went to the post office to mail paintings. Time for a break, then on to some more art, this time digital. I have a logo to design, and some other things.
arfink Posted April 10, 2013 Author Posted April 10, 2013 Working on a little something for AnneLine here: This is a public domain photo of an old painting, and my work was just to crop and put in the logo and such. The border was kinda lame, so I redid it for the website. But this is the version I have uploaded this second. :)
brianthephysicist Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I went to the post office as well. Finally got around to mailing a St. Baldrick's check I got after the event had passed. While I was there I bought a book of stamps and then I stopped at CVS to get some envelopes; now I can just simply drop my mail in the box instead of having to go when they're open.

Cool stuff. :) I figured if I'm going to sell more art I needed more 9x12 priority flat rate mailers, so I took all the ones they had. They only had 11.
arfink Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 Here are some designs I was working on today, each made from 6 circles. These are going to be made into laser-cut paper sculptures/cards.
arfink Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 So today I am returning to making comics for Team Orthodoxy. Check it out: http://orthodoxcatholicism.com/2013/04/11/spiritual-life-4-n00bs-gettin-holy/ And I also made this lil thingy showing the layers I used to make the strip: http://weaselsgonarf.blogspot.com/2013/04/spiritual-life-4-n00bs-gettin-holy-in.html Enjoy!
