In Which the Blog reach 950 posts! A lovely Holiday Season approaches!

Good morning, my dear friend, and I wish you a happy Wednesday! How are you, this fine hour? As for me, I am okay, just waking up, really. The weather here is one of quiet transition, to spring. I can still use thicker blankets, but the days are longer, and the sun is more bright. Not exactly a good thing, I don't like summer, that is approaching. The only saving grace is to have Christmas season also upon us, the season of 2026! And all the memories of happy summer vacations, with the christmas trees and the great deal of lovely santas around it. Grandma used to go all in for the decor. How I miss it... I pray I can emulate it, when I can. Today, grandma is 82 years old, she is aging, as it rarely can be helped. She is tired, and she lives in an apartment nowadays, as such, she does not do the Christmas stuff as vigorously as some years before, alas.  There is no such thing as forsaking the long holiday tradition just because "times changed", whatever that means. No. Jus...

In Which we have the nice chair!

 Hello and good morning everyone! How are you today, how are things going? As for me, I just hope to rest a bit, maybe play some games, talk to friends, if they want to chat with me, of course, and yea, have a nice Friday! I wish you the best, also! How is the weather where you are? Here it is hot and humid, as it's common during summer, but my bedroom is safe from it for the most part, as I have curtains and a fan, makes the room a bit dark though, the curtains, which I like, but also make my computer screen too on the bright side, so I just put the nightshift filter on it, hurts my eyes less! Speaking of which, I made some Illustrator art yesterday, it was a bit on the forced side, but well, the fact is that it is done! Let me share it with you!

So, this is the final product! The tutorial I used to do this you can find it here! It's a pretty nice one, though can be a little tricky to follow, lots of pauses are in order. I was talking about vector art to a friend today, on his discord server, after sharing this with him. I told him that the layers in Illustrator are different than the layers on Photoshop. Photoshop uses layers for everything, and though Illustrator has some level of division to its objects, it isn't as layer focuses as the first I quoted. Feels more like a collage, you know, like cutting small pieces from a magazine or so, and putting them together with glue, that's the feel of vector art at times, it is pretty cool! I like the aesthetic of the work, I think it's easily indentifiable and I'll call it the "Illustrator Aesthetics!" I want to work with more digital art in the future, not only on computer, as I got new batteries for my good old mouse, but also on an iPad that one day I may own, but really, I love traditional art, I just got new erasers, so that should help me do some drawings, maybe I should do one today, after this post, even, though I also want to play some Civ or other game, it is hard to decide what to do in the morning! Lots of things come to mind! It's my most active time of day, in which I don't feel sore yet! I am thinking of reading more, also, there is this book I wanna finish, so I can move on to a new book. I've been reading it since March... OF LAST YEAR! So yea, kinda complicated... Anyway, as this post comes to an end, I'll try to decide what to do. I guess at this point even returning to the bed and resting a bit further is an option as well. In the beach house, I used to be at the computer most of the time, because I didn't have a bedroom with a desk. Since I'm back to my office/bedroom, as I call it, well, routine is back in order! So, let's wrap things here for today, but I hope to see you guys real soon! Thank you for reading!
