I’ll try to keep my posts shorter for a while (considering ‘My Dinner with Ego’ and the recent DeviantArt mega-update were both strong contenders for TLDR status).
The exciting news this week concerns my next song… To my surprise, a fellow Clouder (a top-notch producer whom I greatly respect) offered to mix and master one of my songs as a way of helping me understand that process better. Velocirapture was nearing completion at the time, and the files are now in his possession. Assuming I haven’t handed him a logistical nightmare, I’m looking forward to sharing with you one of my most complex, and now probably best sounding tracks ever. :D Keep your eyes on my SoundCloud account for that tasty little morsel. Personally, I’m so excited, I might just freak… then puke. o.O Here’s the latest from my other project: Deviant Art Update: (007) ‘Shauna's Select Wines’ This was a commissioned piece… done for the Wine Store in Park City, Utah about 9 years ago; intended as entrance signage for their 'High End' Cellar. To be honest, I don't know if it's still on display. It's been a while since I've been up that way. I had a great time meeting with the Store Manager; taking reference photos of wine bottles during my visit. I shopped for and photographed grapes (then ate said grapes lavishly)… and I researched images of grape vines and leaves to get everything as detailed as possible. A commissioned piece was a little intimidating at first. I was still in my first year of oil painting after all. But my ‘graphic art’ skills came to the rescue for typography and composition, and I was quite happy with the end results. I hope you find it to your liking as well. :)
