Somebody poked me

I neglected to mention that my store is now accessible through the main website, www.michaelricketson.com.  I've been pleased to be able to expand upon my original website with the addition of this blog and the store.  Otherwise the website might seem as active as a dormant volcano.  :)


I really like some of the fun, colorful artwork at the website www.pokedstudio.com, which I discovered today through the magazine "3D Artist", issue # 25.  PokedStudio was started by a guy named Jonathan Ball.  Apparently Jonathan uses the program Blender for his 3D work, which is the same program that I used to create the image featuring the piano in an interior setting (shown here):

It interests me to see someone use a 3D modeling program to help create images so whimsical as the ones at PokedStudio.  I suppose that my technical illustration background prompts me to make more straightforward and realistic images, when modeling.      


Today I learned via the internet, that my local library considers me the proud holder of a book called "Broken to Beautiful".  While they're at it, why don't they just put me down for "Elmo's Favorite Tickle Spots" and "Come Weep with Me, Sweet Mia".  I have no idea what they're talking about.  Meanwhile, the book that I actually checked out, "Adjustment to a Nudist Colony" (special edition for pasty skinned persons) is totally missing from my online record.  I guess I can just keep that book.
