		<description><![CDATA[Getting non-digital artwork into a computer so that the sides are straight and in proportion can be difficult. I made this video to show how, using Photoshop, a photo of a painting, drawing, or other rectangular piece of art can easily be made proportional, with horizontally and vertically straight edges in about a minute with very little fuss.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not long after I started my InArCreMo project, I sort of disappeared from my sites and severely decreased my social networking in general. This post is about the why of it. First, a little history. Back in December 2003/January 2004, I was working on a major software project. I devoted 16-hour days to it, taking a break only for Christmas. I was making good progress. By the end of January, that progress slowed as I started having severe issues with &#8230; <a href="http://art.cjcs.com/1383/the-quiet-spell/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A popular activity in November is for writers to participate in NaNoWriMo—National Novel Writing Month. A friend of mine on Facebook offered up a different challenge for artists: if a picture is worth a thousand words, then instead of writing a 50,000 word novel in a month, how about creating 50 pieces of art in a month? Here are the rules: The challenge begins on November 1st and ends at midnight (local time) on Wednesday, November 30th. To “win” the challenge &#8230; <a href="http://art.cjcs.com/1366/november-is-inarcremo/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

When I get busy with various projects, my websites tend to be the ones to suffer the most. It's not that I don't check in.

		<description><![CDATA[Because of the change of weather toward the colder end of the thermometer, I&#8217;ve had to engage in my yearly adjustment of art projects. My painting studio&#8211;let me rephrase: my unheated and uninsulated painting studio is now typically at 10° C (about 50º F) or cooler. As uncomfortable as it is to work in, the practical fact is that the paint isn&#8217;t a big fan of these temps as it&#8217;s outside its preferred temperature range.

With "Four Ristras", the underpainting was done with acrylics and a "hairy stick" while most of the refinement was done by shooting acrylics with an airbrush.

All attempts to get rid of the author intro for the older pages have been met with crashing the theme. Still working on that bit. Also discovered that search no longer works. I&#8217;ve tried different search engines, but none of them are giving me any joy.
