... i'm ready

... for my close-up, mr deville. i've become less and less of an impulse buyer over the past few years. i say that with an iota of pride until a that past saturday when i took those pics of my coworker and her brother! ever since then i've been just jonesing and dreaming and wanting to purchase a new camera so i can really take professional pictures again. my kodak easyshare dx7630 is a helluva camera, but not versatile enough! really! honest... hrumpf.

so, not that wifee and i are encouraging such spending habits, but she's at least supportive of my creative addictions, um... talents and has offered to help me look at models, options, pricing, etc. the sweet-arse olympus model on the right here is modestly priced around $900 with rebates to follow. it's a 2 lens kit, 8 mega-pixel and so so so much more... (droooool) oh oh oh, and it's got fully manual, partial, and full automatic features that draws me back to the olden days when no one even owned a goddamned computer! (stone age, eh?)

anyway, i'll letchoo all know what happens with this madness. i'm waiting on a gynormous commission check on the 22nd that will nail a subsequently gynormous amount of our debt. depending on how we divide it up, maybe a little can be put aside for a dreamy camera. stay tuned.

onnanother note - would you all be intersted in seeing some of my cartoon work? i've been planning/avoiding/putting off/deliberating over posting some of my cartoon-strip work i've done over the years to see if there's any interest generated over them. some could be reborn into a series again. but that would depend on who's reading it, leaving comments, etc. not trying to sound hokey, but if i were to get word out on other sites my work is up... maybe i could generate more traffic from other fellow artsy-types or just interested and cool folks like all of you. if it helps any, i'd likely dress them up a tad in photoshop, add color, etc... ya know! play, and get feedback? anyone!?

enjoy your weekend all. cheers.
