New arts! It’s called Globophobia, since it addresses my fear of balloons. Bigger version in my gallery & stick around after the break to see my progress steps!

Giving in to peer pressure, I made my 3DS Mii Plaza greeting my website. I wasn’t going to do it until I saw jefftheworld.com and nextgenplayer.com’s greetings. Felt lame being the only one saying “hi” when everyone was pimping themselves out.

Luckily, it’s unlikely anyone will see it, because I live in a land somewhat devoid of nerds. Man do I miss Toronto…

In the unlikely case that you see this, HI THERE I’M ARISUKI. If you want my friend code let me know by posting yours!

On a side note, I’m currently playing Zelda 3d & the newest Layton game. Both are most excellent. I’ll try to review them ASAP, but I don’t know where to post. Layton arrived to me a month after launch, so it’s too late to do it for future shop.

Yep, here’s some new art. This one’s awesome:

This one’s less awesome and took about 5 times as long. SUCH IS ART:

You can see more art on my dA.

Yesterday I was in town on some errands, and since I had a bit of time to kill before my first student (about half an hour’s worth), I decided to go nailpolish hunting. More specifically, I was looking for Nicole by OPI’s Rainbow in the S-Kylie (sorta similar to Lippman’s Happy Birthday), which I’d seen in passing only two days earlier. All sold out.

My dreams of an over-the-top glitter manicure tragically dashed, I ended up getting a silver Sally Hansen on the cheap. I don’t often use the Hard as Nails line for polish beacuse the formula is terribly stodgy, but it’s great for details once diluted.

After another shop with no luck, I ended up at The Bargain Shop, where I found, well, a bargain. I stumbled upon a Wet N Wild that looked close enough, and also got a lovely teal glitter that lay between two colours I already had. That’s when the idea for today’s manicure came about.

I wrote this some time ago in Ultima Online. A creative re-imagining of Arisuki’s history. I only write this way when I’m half-mad from lack of sleep.

This is just a quick update to say that I finally have a portfolio page up in the art tab of my site.

That’s it actually.

Man, I really thought I’d have more to say by now, but… nope. My faucet’s fixed, guess that’s something to celebrate. Also, I have two new drawings which you can check out in the art section. Since that’s now a thing.

TEASER OF WHAT YOU’LL BE GETTING IF YOU CLICK:

I keep meaning to put the link to my rss feed in the main menu place, but I’m just too lazy. I’d have to make another image in the banner, and that’s just soooo much work. Then I’d probably be compelled to make links to my twitter and my not-yet-existing facebook fanpage. So maybe it’s best that I don’t.

The water has been dripping from my faucet for weeks now. This is, as always, not a metaphor.

Sometimes it drips in time to the clock that ticks noisily downstairs. Like when the turn signal click of your car lines up with the flashing signal of the car in front of you. It’s a temporary relief until it slowly goes out of synch. And then it drives you insane.

This is one of my favourite songs, of everything I’ve written. Probably in the top 5, out of my 20 “good/ok” songs. I also have a list of 15 songs whose existence I mostly resent. Most of them are just lame and cheesy (see: about half of my output @ AM to FM) or just really really old. I kind of want to start organizing my website so that my music section has lyrics and tabs, but I’m also aware that there’s about 10-20 people who listen to my songs, sooo I can probably wait a bit longer.

I’d post the lists but I don’t think there’s much of a point. Other than maybe laughing at my song titles.

So I managed to misplace my DSiXL for the last month or so. I finally found it a few minutes ago – it was in a purse I don’t often use. Jeeeeze. So I have about two months’ worth of manicures to post. Starting with my current one, rainbow flash. It’s inspired by Atari graphics and box art (so much rainbow!) and of course, CMYK.

I’m playing a show tonight in front of old city hall (in Toronto).

It’ll be pretty awesome.

I hope.

BYOG (game boy) & you can open mic.

We have 2 shows going on all through the night, which is mind-blowing.

One of them is an actual official nuit blanche event. More explosions in my brain.

PS: If you saw me playing at some point through the night, let me know :3 it’s my first time performing pretty much everything.
