What the fudge!?

Yeah so today I realized that the last post that I did was in March...Unacceptable.

I didn't realize when I started this blog how much I would have to dedicate to it. I certainly don't want this to be a project that I let drift by the wayside, at least not without proper warning lol. But I think it stands to mention that I get easily distracted, so there you go. I've vowed to put myself on a tighter schedule...so we'll see how THAT works out, haha. And that includes making sure that I post more often. I need to be more productive! I've recently been inspired by a friend of mine. She runs her own blog, Vegan, What?, and has been posting a lot of great content pretty consistently (check it out!). I then decided that I need to get back on track with mine, plus I've missed you so...

Coming soon, Purple Paintbrush on Twitter and Facebook! Oh yes yes ya'll. It's about to get serious up in here. I'll let you know.

And finally, more art!

New Design Finally Here!!

Yes, I've finally been able to polish things up here and I am very happy to be able to present a newer look to my blog. I'm still VERY new to this web design and coding stuff so what I have right now still isn't the exact vision that I had, but it's really darn close! Expect little tweaks along the way as I learn more about what the hell I'm doing, haha. I'll be back with an update on what to expect here, but I just had to give a shout out to the new look! Stay tuned!

Change is a-comin'

Good lord...it's been a while.

But don't fret! This only means that there is new stuff in the works...New content, new look, but...same blogger unfortunately. Or fortunately, for the 5 of you that check in on this space (thank you by the way). Anyway, there are a couple of things just around the corner but I had to do a check-in to show that I'm still alive and wanting to post. I've been working out what I want to do. You've gotta admit, all of this has been pretty random so far. Entertaining...but random. Look forward to something that's a bit tightened up. Stay tuned!

Laziness...

What a life.

Can't sleep, and oh yeah...Happy New Year.

Why am I still up at 4:00 am?! Just can't sleep. Work is going to be a loooong one today I'll tell you that. At any rate, I just realized that this is officially the first entry I'm writing in the new year! Cheers to you all! I'm looking forward to a lot, but mostly I'm just looking forward to life. Damn I mean, if I get to see the end of the year I'd say it was a good one. I have to admit, I've never really been a "new year's resolution-y" kind of person. Not that I'm opposed to change or self-improvement, and I'm not saying that I don't have any goals, but I pretty much make them up and adjust as I go along - and depending on the situation...not necessarily because the next year arrives. Honestly, things are pretty calm right now. And that can be either a good thing or a bad thing, haha. Too soon to tell though...

As far as the painting from the last post, it's still not at a point yet where I feel like sharing the progress BUT I will as soon as I feel that it's done. Now that I've become preoccupied again, it might be a little difficult to try to make time for painting...but it will get done though. Until then, here's a little something that I completed as a class assignment: A photo correction exercise, but man this one was a doozy. We had several pictures to choose from, and my dumbass decided to pick a really hard one to challenge myself. It took a couple of hours, but it was a labor of love. I believe it turned out great in the end - not perfect, but definitely good. The hardest part was removing all the grainy dots, and repairing the torn piece at the bottom right of the original image. You have to make it believable and natural! Good lord...Well hopefully with more practice, I'll be airbrushing the Kardashians' cellulite and Alicia Keys' acne before I know it.
