Happy Memorial Day

I hope you all had a good Memorial Day. Ours was pleasantly quiet - except for the fireworks. :) We filmed them this year.

An Awesome Find! Coding Instruction Program

I just found this awesome app named Alice that teaches its users how to code through visual means. It is a completely free program.
It was designed by college professors at Carnegie Mellon University for use by their students, but kids can use it too!

To get to it, just click on the blog title.

Looking at Gold-Seven's lovely paintings inspire me to keep trying with my own work.


Harry Potter--Exuberance by *Gold-Seven
The bittersweetness of this piece really is striking. Poor Sirius. At least, he looks happy here.

Neat Fan Art Pics

I like to sometimes go looking for some neat artwork. Today I will
share some of my fan art finds. Amongst them you'll see several series
and themes represented.

All of the thumbnails will take you to the original. I really recommend taking a closer look at these lovely pictures.

Just so you know, if you don't see the images on my blog you will need to turn your ad blocker down.

Some are just pretty or cute, others are funny, and more are inspiring.
Enjoy! :)

Discworld
Leila Wood has done a truly beautiful job on her portrayal of the Disc.
I think that anyone who enjoys inked artwork should go take a look at the version she posted.

Wizard's Conclave by Anneth Lagamo
Heh, y'know of the four wizards there in this image the three I know probably *would* team up, each for his own reasons.
I strongly urge you to go see the full version on this talented lady's site if you like wizards at all. I love her control of the brush and pencil strokes and her use of texture in this lovely drawing.

Sometimes Destruction...
by ~Mayte
"…is necessary, if you’re Godzilla and you have a wicked bad piece
of debris stuck between your giant serrated teeth and you can’t just
pick it out with your claws and / or tongue."

Monster flicks aren't my thing, but this one was funny enough to earn a
prime place in my little list.
The mere thought of Godzilla tending to his teeth... lol

Nephrite:The King of Stars
by *kir-tat


I am not a fan of villains, but this painting of Nephrite really is beautiful.

Here are some funny Inuyasha comics I found!

Mystery solved by *mylittlejoy

"Mysteriously my Inuyasha pockets stopped falling on the ground ever since I placed my Garfield pockets on a separate shelf....lol."

Yeah, Garfield REALLY doesn't like dogs. Inuyasha could probably have fun picking on that cat. He could have something edible out and eat where Garfield can't reach him or get the cat to chase him to get it. He's quick enough that the cat can't catch him. *giggles*
