I’ve set up a small website for brother Sean and me. We both tend to procrastinate on things that we want to do, and for no good reason, just because that’s life. We’ve decided that enough is enough, and now have this website to keep us motivated.

Life In Neutral

The website is a concept based from a book I read from a past client called “The Game“. Essentially, it’s a game that you play to accomplish goals you set for yourself, such as losing weight, eating right, painting once a week, etc. There are rules and teammates to keep you motivated. If you don’t accomplish the certain tasks you set, well, then there are punishments.

If my brother misses 5 days of not getting up before 9:00am, he has to shave his head! And, if I miss 5 days of Portuguese lessons, I have to grow a neck beard, or Neard, for two weeks. Lets just say I’m not going to miss any lessons…haha.

Hopefully, these silly punishments will keep us on track and allow us to accomplish our goals that, truthfully, we should just do anyway. I guess life is just more fun when you have the fear of unwanted facial hair.

I recently watched the new Harry Potter movie, which I thought was great by the way, and happened to see this online: Quidditch for Real-People. While I feel my nerdy-ness is pretty high, I don’t think I could ever get myself to actually dress-up, run around a field and pretend to chase a Snitch. Maybe the kid in me is really gone or… maybe I just need a real flying broom to make that activity worth while?

I have quite a collection of old vector artwork that never went anywhere, so I’ve decided to dust them off and put them up on iStock. There are allot of unfinished illustrations that I need to wade through and cleanup before they are ready for purchase, but I’ve started that process. I don’t expect this to replace my real job, but why not put them up and make a little extra beer money? Exactly.

My account is in the approval process and should be active in the next day or so. Why not join up and get some fine artwork of your very own? And hey, if there is anything you are looking for specifically, send me a message. I’m more than happy to discuss any projects you have in the works. What are you waiting for?

I’ve started a new project that I’m excited about. I’m calling it 400×400, creating some type of painting, drawing, sketch within the dimensions of 400×400 pixels. Simply put, it’s going to allow me to be more creative and get back to some of my artistic roots, while keeping a structure that I need to stay focused. Read more…

We have now reached June 1st and the party has ended. It was a great month and I had a blast participating this year. There really are some creative, talented and all around great people involved with the website and community. It’s too bad it has to end, but if we kept our moustaches all year, what would be fun about May? I’ve posted some of my better photos from the month online. So go check them out.

I can’t wait until next year and hope all the whisker growing fellas have a great off season. See you again soon!

So, tomorrow marks the first day of Moustache May and my lip coat has already been growing for 1.5 months. Truthfully, it’s starting to bug me a bit, but I’m going to be strong. In honor of this glorious month, we are having a “Moustache Bash” on Saturday. I made this little invite for the party Read more…
