Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Nintendo STEALS Money!Since this has been going around lately, I should probably give my two cents. Basically what it amounts to is that Nintendo has filed Content ID info of their games with YouTube. What this means is that if you upload gameplay video of a Nintendo game, YouTube will automatically monetize that video, put ads on it, a link to where to buy the game, and take the money generated from that video and give it directly to Nintendo. People who do "let's play" videos are, naturally, pissed off because they want to be earning money off their videos, so they're calling Nintendo "thieves" for doing this.
I can see both sides to the story. I can see Nintendo as a corporation wanting to exercise control over their properties. On the other hand, "let's play" videos can often help new gamers find games they otherwise wouldn't have tried.
But here's the thing: Nintendo isn't the first company do this. Both Microsoft and Ubisoft do it already. YouTube has also had a long history of having music videos and

The Day I Thought Ed T was Lan M

Journal Entry: Fri Jun 20, 2008, 11:58 AM

The Day I Thought Ed T was Lan M

This is just a little fan-girl story

I became a huge fan of Lan Medina after I saw his work in Bill Willingham's Fables. Little did I know that years down the line I would actually meet...

his wife

It was on the last day of Glasshouse Graphics' 2006 Comics Creation Seminar and my friends were hanging around outside the venue. Suddenly, a long-haired lady whom I will always remember for her big, warm smile greeted the guys and they started chatting. With her was a slender fellow whose long curly hair was tied back in a ponytail. I'll admit, the words "Jesus Christ Superstar" came to mind

The guys, sweet adorable pals who mean the world to me, kinda conveniently forgot to introduce me and they went on chatting with the nice lady. They called her Ate Mayette and through snatches of their conversation I eventually learned that she was Lan Medina's wife.

I went...*blink-blink*...Lan? Fables Lan?...*blink-blink again*...And I turned my gaze to the Jesus Christ Superstar-haired fellow.

The rest of the time the guys were talking to Ate Mayette, I kept suppressing the urge to go up to her companion, introduce myself as a huge fan of his work, and maybe...just maybe...ask for an autograph. OMG, I was thinking...That's Lan Medina right there!

But in the end I was too shy to do so, and after Ate Mayette left, I said to the guys, "So that was Lan ..."

There was silence, followed by "Ha?" uttered almost in unison, which I replied to with, "Di ba si Lan yung kasama ni Ate Mayette? (Wasn't that Lan with Ate Mayette?)"

Another moment of silence followed, but it didn't last long because the guys cracked up and somehow, in a very messy way, managed to explain that the Jesus Christ Superstar-haired fellow was in fact artist ~edtadeo.

Leonard then said to me, "I wish you went up to him and introduced yourself. That would have been too funny."

Kicked him in the shins for that. Or tried to anyway

Both Ed and Lan have deviantart accounts and I thought this was a perfect opportunity to showcase their work.

So, folks, Lan Medina is

haha nakakatuwa ka talaga mag-sulat... buti hindi ka naging copywriter...or are you?

fables rock!

~storyseamstress Jul 9, 2008

Eheh, thanks

I applied at Ace Saachi ages and ages ago but nothing came of it

Just a freelance writer/full-time fan-girl these days. And yeah, Fables totally rocks!

~Iantoy Jul 10, 2008 Professional General Artist

hhhmmm... gusto mo mag full time sa agency? email me your resume/folio if your interested

~storyseamstress Jul 11, 2008

That's awfully kind of you

I'm afraid IBM will have its claws in me, though, for another three years at least *shakes shackles* Still, thanks muchie!!!

~AaronFelizmenio Jun 28, 2008 Professional Traditional Artist

Ahaha! Lan as Ed?

Okay lang yun! Dati nga napagkamalang si Whilce Portacio si Sir Gerry e.

~storyseamstress Jun 30, 2008

Eheh, I heard about that

Buti na lang talaga di ko tinuloy yung pag-hingi ng autograph kay Ed kasi malamang hanggang ngayon aasarin pa rin ako ng barkada ko about it

Salamat pala sa bisita. I visited your gallery too and had a blast choosing favorites

~jaybhoi Jun 20, 2008 Professional Interface Designer

hehehe, c robin talaga, nilagay mo ko sa shoutboard mo with ol the great comic book creators.. i wish i was worthy enough pero i'm just a fan. i couldn't do even half of what those guys do. i dont even make my own comics.

funny naman ng experience mo. hehe, natuwa ako, pero i saw both ed tadeo's and lan medina's work, i think starstruck-wise knowing which is which wouldn't have mattered. they're both great artists. and i was so expecting u to say u came up to introduce yourself to who you thought was lan. that would have been crazy funny...

~storyseamstress Jun 23, 2008

Oh, I don't know about that

Something tells me you belong right up there with them. Not all artists in the comic book industry do sequential art anyway. Some of them establish their careers doing pin-ups and cover art. Your photomanips, for instance, could grace the cover of a Vertigo title, much like Dave McKean's multi-media art did for Sandman

As for introducing myself, you have no idea how close I came to making that goof

~jaybhoi Jun 27, 2008 Professional Interface Designer

you give me way too much credit.. hehe, thank you..

~edtadeo Jun 20, 2008

OMG!

You're too sweet to blog about Lan and me. Hehe. Thanks.

I should feature this entry on my blog too. Wehehe!

Cute pictures, btw.
