Welcome to my site! Here you will find things to look at, and things to read. Things to do, and things to keep. Things to learn, and things to share. Things to make you think, and things to delight you
Explore, dream, learn and above all Have Fun!
Check out my blog, twitter account, or Facebook Page to find out what I'm currently up to. For current Second Life® stuff, I have a twitter account for Robin Sojourner, my SL™ avatar, too.
I'm currently in the process of redoing the entire site, to get rid of the old frames, and make new, more accessible pages, where content is separated from presentation. This process will take a while, because it's a Very Large Site.
We're all moved into the new house, and slowly unpacking! I still don't have my "normal" life back, but it's getting better! I have time to teach classes at the Builder's Brewery in SL again, and I'm starting to work on the website more, too. Right now I'm working on the General 3D pages, but I can't really post anything until I have the whole section done; it would break the menus. New stuff that you can see is listed below!
I've been teaching a Seamless Textures for SL class in Second Life for some time, and the companion book is finally out! Like the other tutorial books, it's a THiNC book, and is currently available only in world. (I know, I know, and I'm sorry. I'm working on it.)
There's a new series running in the Tuesday Tips. It's all about Type Tricks; things you can do to make your display type in Adobe Photoshop® look fantastic! For the first week, we're exploring how to apply and tweak a Layer Style, and starting to delve into Layered Type.
For all those who have been asking for one - there's finally a Gallery! In fact, there are five gallery pages, where you can see thumbnails of the images in a category. Mouse over the thumbnails, and you'll be able to see a larger image. Click on it, and you'll go to the page for that print. Best of all - there's no JavaScript; it's all CSS. So you'll be able to see the gallery even if you don't have JavaScript enabled on your computer or device. Hope you like it!
I've just added Firebird to the Prints section. It was the cover of Dragon magazine back in 1994 (issue #202) and I carried it for a while as a limited edition photoprint. It's being reissued in a smaller size as an open edition because someone asked about it. (See? That's all it takes!)
I have joined the Lynda.com affiliate program, so if you are interested in looking at their tutorials (which I very highly recommend) I'd appreciate it if you'd go there through clicking the links in this site. There's one in this paragraph, and also one on the Photoshop Tutorial Pages and the Second Life Tutorial Pages. Thanks!
On a slightly different topic; I'm really enjoying making filters for Filter Forge, now that it's out for the Mac, If you have Filter Forge (or even if you don't, but you're interested) take a look at my Wood Lattice filter. It got an Editor's Pick!
