It seems like the only times that I actually make a blog post, is when I destroy my old website and resurrect one from scratch… which, coincidentally, is exactly what I’ve just done.

Solid Sushi is now powered by Wordpress, a robust open source content management system (CMS) that I’ve used before. Actually, I had used it on Solidsushi, but then I wanted to get back to my programming roots and code everything myself (in PHP and MySQL). That nonsense lasted for a year with only a few lonely posts, so I figured that moving back to a conventional CMS would save me programming time and allow me to focus on the content.

I’ve slowly been moving my “favorite” artwork from the old site, hopefully it will all be present in the next week.

The little one is actually my cousin, whom I had the rare chance to visit with. This is one of the first times I’ve had to play with watercolor, it’s a fun medium!  One problem is attempting to scan the original watercolor, all of the pocks and waves in the paper create shadows in the scanned image. Perhaps just taking a picture of the art would work out better.

Midna from “Zelda: Twilight Princess”. This is honestly the first piece of fanart I’ve ever created, it was a hard line to cross… now I’m officially a geek.

Playing around with color a bit…. It seems like a better idea to color images in photoshop, than to spend the effort to vectorize them.
