Sweating the Details

Decided to make what was supposed to be a quick snack… ended up throwing this together. Caramelized onions and celery, topped with some pan-seared wild salmon, and a lemon cream sauce over all of that.

I’m sure anyone who’s owned a Wacom tablet for any reasonable length of time has probably figured this out themselves, but just in case: I’ve happened upon the perfect solution for in-bed drawing… the WacomBook Pro!

My wonderful electric blanket, combined with the comfort of being in bed might actually lead to some semi-decent concept art for our next iPhone game! I’m very excited to be getting back into full-pace game development again, as the holidays didn’t really see much productivity after the release of Grinchmas.

We’ve all been putting some time into getting odds-and-ends checked off over the past few weeks. In my case, this means a lot of nasty end-of-year tax yuckiness, as well as working on hiring our first employee. While all these things are quite important to Limbic, I don’t get the same sense of satisfaction as real saving-data-to-disk work like these concept images I’m going to be working on in the next few days.

Tomorrow should be a fun day too, I’ll be flying out to KLVK (Livermore Municipal Airport) for some alternate airport training. I haven’t flown that far since I did my first big chunk of flight training seven years ago, so it’ll be a nice chance to hit some cruise speeds in the 172SP and try a new traffic pattern. They’ve got a big wide runway out there too, so I’m expecting to make some terrible too-high approaches the first few times around.

This has got to be one of the most creative and beautiful storefronts (and interiors) I’ve seen… (via ArchDaily)

I’ve been working hard getting Darkroom and the Darkroom Website up and running, but it’s all finally done, and open to the public.

Have a look!
