Mega Ton Update

All hail lord Intertron, bringer of new web services!
While you quiver in fear from him, I must pay tribute and update my websites, do my taxes, kick a puppy, and run through my quasi annual technology catch up.

So while you were reading that paragraph, I updated my:

Almost Ready to Paint

Just as the weather is getting good here in Vancouver, I'm getting ready to shut myself in with a new computer. If I can afford it, I'll soon be picking up a 12" cintiq and a document projector to rough work onto canvasses. Then I'll be trying to put together a collection of work for show. Two small shows worth, within the next year is my goal. Having a studio / apartment to paint in has been a dream of mine since I was fourteen. Though I still don't have the skylight I always wanted, I'm going to try my best to take advantage of my new space.

A trip to Opus for fresh art supplies and I'll be ready. But first a nice lazy Monday in the sun - since everyone's probably closed today anyway.

Hello 2008

I would like to think that setting some of my goals for the next year will help me achieve them. I've recently moved into a new apartment with plenty of space for creativity. Last year I was still in the midst of optioning Rosenpig, so it was very hard for me to start up new projects without some closure on that.

Now that I have it and things are moving along without me, I'll be looking for new outlets.

1. I've begun writing again and hope to have my novel finished sometime before it goes double gem encrusted platinum (I think books do that, don't they?).

2. I've got some canvasses ready to be painted here, that I'm going to start in on very soon.

3. I miss the cottage, so I'll probably head there for a week this summer. Then perhaps I'll go somewhere crazy; Japan is top of my list. I shall bring my supplies and do a lot of watercolor work while I'm there.

iLaugh Victorious!

Hurrah?



HEY! Put those pants down Erica... those are MY pants.
And why is the fridge full of bacon? I was just going to get some!!
Settle down Erica...

Occupied - Enjoy the Service!

If you like cute things and live in Vancouver there's a shop you have to visit in Gastown, (Abbott near Water Street). It's called Occupied, and it's full of outrageously lovable items. For the Rosenpig fans, they've currently got a small stock of Rosenpigglets available.

While you're there you can now enjoy some Aaron and Erica artwork. Last weekend we had much fun recreating the shop's logo and slogan, and putting up some cutie pie mushroom buddies.



If you're not in town, then you'll be happy to find out they've got an online shop from which you can peruse the height of cuteness and fashionable plush.

Hello World

Hello! Aaron here. Let me explain my short term plan here...
I'm gonna RSS feed this blog into mine facebook, then I'm gonna post some youtubes all up in it's grill. Before you can even count to Web 2.0, I'm gonna cram my del.icio.us links up on the side bar. You know they be tagged proper. 100 to a page, fo shizzle. I believe firmly in keeping up with the kids and their bippin and boppin. It can get confusing though, so my lovely lady and I have devised a magical inventory system to keep track of it all. You'd better bring firefox and a middle mouse button if you want to keep up, though.

So get ready for fun, and lots of art.



My long term plans involve this little feller getting his own TV show. I'm in talks with a studio about making that happen as we speak. Things look bright for Rosenpig and fellow guinea pigs. They're all geared up for time traveling adventures.
