OK, it's beginning to look like freaky super storms are the new normal. We all gotta live with it… and it ain't a lick o' fun. But maybe we can change that… at least a little? It's humiliating to have your yard trashed by "Hugo" or your house buried in snow by "Candy". So my proposal is this: when cyclonic storms reach category one, they are official renamed after supervillains! That makes ya feel a TINY little better about having all your worldly belongings destroyed by wind and water… at least that's my theory.
So imagine the forecasts and headlines?! "Darth Vader is expected to roar into South Carolina in the morning and all coastal residents are urged to evacuate." "Galactus slams New York, leaving billions in damage in his wake." "Goldfinger is making a b-line up the coast and should be delivering a withering attack on New England in the next six hours."
And then the cool conversations at parties? "So did ya take much hurtin' from Lex Luther?" "FEH! For all the headlines, the Wicked Witch of the West was a total wimp…"
Humans. We're adaptable. If we gotta live with this freaky climate, we may as well try to get a (dark) chuckle out of it. Write your Congressman and urge them to act on the Arcas Storm Name Bill immediately!
And now – art for art's sake. Click the thumbnails to embark on a wondrous journey of exploration… or just to kill time 'til the chicken comes out of the oven (you omnivorous lot, you….)

Simmering
While I haven’t been leaving much of a visible art foot print, these last few weeks, I haven’t been slacking off. First, I’m working on both building up my digital resources and trying to get my 3D-skills updated after about a three-year absence. There’s quite a few image ideas swimming in my head, I’m just building to the point where I can tackle them in my “new ways”.
Second, I’m taking an online natural illustration course out of Australia so that’s not only going to be taking some of my art time, but also (hopefully) giving me a refresher with my old skills in physical art media. So l
2020: The Year I Make Recontact
Well it’s been only about a month (give or take) since my last blog update so maybe I’m having success in retraining myself back to the DA habit. I’ve made really good progress on migrating my old arting materials to my new machine and getting up to speed with DAZ Studio 4.12. I may have only pumped out three finished pieces, but behind each one is a number of experiments and trials. With each one my “render legs” have regained a bit more strength. It feels kinda nice being back at the digital drawing board… if only to provide some distraction from our nation’s dumpster fire du jour.
I’m also r
From the shadows shuffles the unspeakable horror..
Well hey there! Long time no chat. I’m still alive and kickin’… I’ve just been kickin’ it elsewhere: in my reading nook, on my modeling bench, and in my kayak. So I’ve very much NOT been here… due to the fact I didn’t have much new to show anyone. But that may change in the coming months.
The biggest thing that’d been keeping me away from making art was my aging machine (as I work mostly digital, these days). The ole box just could keep up with the state of the tech. Like a (too) old car, it can still get me from point A to point B – most of the time – but not without great ag
We here I am again… after another loooooooong absence. For whatever reason I just haven’t felt driven to create much art this year, and something in me feels guilty about coming to DA purely as a spectator. All I can say is that I sure hope this lull passes because I’m much happier when I’m creating!
I’d be lying if I said political anxiety here in the U.S. wasn’t part of the problem and with the outcome of the last election I find myself driven to become even more politically engaged to preserve the progress made over the last couple of decades. But I’ll attempt to minimize bringing my political bag

Arcas, as usual you are an attune and visionary mind but it seems maybe Henry Rollins had you beat in this particular concept even if his timing was pre-climate change based: Swear Warning: NSFW for you corporate weanies playing online when you should be working! [link] "Goddamn you....motherf*cker!" haha, I'm sold with villians too.
