Welcome to Not-Art.com!

Hello! Guess what- we has a forum!!!1! So get posting! Just keep it somewhat clean, nothing TOO dirty or offensive, please. The address is www.not-art.com/forum/. See you all there! If you encounter any problems, let me or Smacks know.

UPDATE-10/14/07: I see a pattern here. This site seems to get updated, like, once a year. I should really make more of an effort, seeing as how I pay for this. Bleh. Well, technically it does get new pictures more than once a year, but I still should try to put more stuff up. It helps though, if you actually DRAW. Haven't done much of any not-art in some time...I will blame it on lack of inspiration and just being plain 'ol busy. I am a bit out of practice, so please forgive me if my stuff looks crappier than normal. FFXI has been put on permanent hold-too many noobs, obnoxious players, gil buyers, etc.and I am way too old (and been playing way too long) to put up with that. But who knows, with the next expansion, I may fire up PlayOnline again. I have rekindled my joy for the traditional one (or two) player off-line RPG anyhow. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 and Eternal Sonata are my current addictions, and a few comics in the 'Anime/Video Game' section reflect this. Also look out for some random videos to watch in there. I believe there are some new works of not-art in the 'Original' and TDC 1 part of the comics section also. Check out all of the sections cause honestly I have no idea where everything new went lol ^^;  Anyway, I hope to have my Halloween 07 e-card up soon, and maybe a new TDC 1 comic if I can muster up the dedication for such a thing. But right now, I'll wrap this up and maybe watch Smacks play some Team Fortress 2...or something... 

UPDATE-4/12/06: Yay! New additions to the site! Took awhile, but it's done, all thanks to Smacks of course. Some new pics in Original and Misc section, and Part 2 of Team Def Con 1: Halloween Hijinx! This comic ain't too bad, getting better at some things, worse with others...Now maybe if I could tear myself away from FFXI for a few minutes (SMN 70!) I could do some more Not-Art. I have another TDC 1 ditty in mind, so we'll see....

UPDATE-10/8/05: Well, it's been awhile. I figured it was time to update the ol' website. Isn't fall the best time of year- the cooler weather, the changing of the leaves, the best frikkin holiday ever- I find it very inspiring. Which is why there are going to be some new things on the site- a fresh Team Def Con 1 comic (featuring a Halloween theme of course) and some new pieces which should be up in a few weeks or so as well. Taking a break from Final Fantasy XI for now- got my summoner to 61 and white mage to 40...and kinda lost interest for the time being. Needed to get away for awhile to work on my 'Not-Art', among other things, but I will be back. Speaking of Final Fantasy, just saw Advent Children. Man, SE can make pretty people- everyone in that movie is gorgeous!!! Also saw the live action Cutie Honey movie and Re: Cutey Honey animated series. Live action Cutey Honey- cheesy, but fun. Gainax's animated version is better- am I the only one that thinks Gainax is full of perverts with ADHD? Anyhow, enjoy the new comic (if I'm lucky, part 2 will be up by Christmas...) and I'll get some other new things up here soon...I hope...

UPDATE-3/9/05: Ok, so I lied....the site wasn't COMPLETELY updated...I thought I would get the new comic up sooner but that didn't happen. I'll um, just blame it on FFXI or something. But it's up now so take a look. Working on the next chapter...should be done sometime this millenium. You'd figure I'd have more free time with not having a job and all but I guess there just isn't enough of it regardless of your occupational situation (or lack of one in this case). Anyway, more stuff is to come...I'm gonna go back to staring out of my window, wishing for spring...

UPDATE-2/2/05: Finally I have updated this silly ol website. It's taken me over a year, but things like this get done eventually...mostly because I am unemployed again! Aghh! I am determined to use whatever free time I get to work on my art and improve my craptastic skills so they become more crappy- that is my pledge to you. Some new things at Not-Art: additions to several sections, including anime/video game, original and misc, as well as a brand spanking new comic series, 16th Covenant (TDC1-Worst Disease of All has been completely uploaded too.). Also the entire site has been revamped. New look, same great taste! I am still trying to understand Photoshop CS and my new Mac...sometimes I feel that when a developer tries to fix something, they actually end up making it worse (-.-). Watching some anime- Chrono Crusade, Samurai Champloo and Full Metal Alchemist among several others (when I have the cash to spend on the DVD's-and I refuse to watch Adult Swim's version of FMA...)Reading some manga- Yami no Matsuei, Chrono Crusade, Hellsing- ok, there's too many I am collecting and I've run out of space, so all of my manga's kinda scattered all over my room.  Been playing FFXI a bunch (shout out to my LS peeps- KatamariDamashii rules! Ok, that was lame...) I finally got my summoner to 40, not like that is a tremendous accomplishment, but hey- when you wait for parties for 3 hours, it's a big stinkin' deal. Looking for jobs, but it's hard when all you got is retail experience. And I hate retail. I'd love a job in the art industry doing SOMETHING, ANYTHING, even though I have no degree (which is a fancy word which means "I paid alot of money to go to some crappy school where I learned really nothing new and they gave me this piece of paper for my trouble"). Anyway, I really hope to update this as much as possible (I promise this time! REALLY!) when I can. The feedback I get is important to me so arigato to everyone who has sent me an e-mail (^-^). My evil white cat is staring at me so it must be feeding time...gotta go get that defrosted unbaptised baby before he eats whatever soul I have left after 9 years in corporate retail...taa-taa! Come back soon! (btw- the lil pic at the top my co-worker Sarah and I did during the last few days at our job. The kitty is so cute! And I swear we were working while we were doodling....honest....)
