Day 761 of 365 Again. Kinda didn’t feel like taking a picture today. Not for any reason really. I was just tired. Normally on Wednesday nights I’m scrambling to finish Thursday’s Cosmic Hellcats strip almost to the last minute. But I got most of it done last night and finished it before 9pm, so i…
Day 760 of 365 Again. I almost got in a fight today. Exciting huh? Well, more like really stupid. Steph and I were hanging out watching TV today when there was a knock at the front door. I went down to answer it and it was my fifteen year old neighbor. He very respectfully and…
Day 759 of 365 Again. "Come with me if you want to live" It’s rare that I actually get around to actually doing something photoshop heavy on a weekday. But I don’t have any pressing photoshoot pics to edit (there are a couple tarot cards I want to reprocess) ad I have a couple days…
Day 758 of 365 Again. It’s that time again. That time when the days get a little brighter. That time when the world gives us just a little glimmer to hope for. A reason to get up every morning. A reason to carry on. It’s football season. The Steelers won today. They are now 1-0.…
9-6-08 Originally uploaded by chrismaverick. I hadn’t used my livejournal in quite some time. 365mav and Cosmic Hellcats have been taking up so much of my time lately. But I had been wanting to change that. I had been wanting to find the time to find a topic that gave me something good to…
Day 757 of 365 Again. I got a comment from a flickr member, the other day. I opened and read it, it said they were suckers. Apologies to Chuck D. So yesterday, I got a comment on an alternate 365 photo from my first year. It’s a picture of me hanging out with Steph and…
When Mickey was travelling across country last week for her big move, she and her boyfriend, Jeff, stopped by to do a little photoshoot for the old Tarot deck.
I’ve been looking forward to getting some of the Seven cards done. My theme with the sevens is to use multiple people. I really loved shooting the Lovers and Judgement cards and I was really looking forward to shooting a card with another couple. The interplay you get between two models is always so much more expressive than what you get with one individual alone.
While the other two multiple person cards I did so far were very loving, it was nice to be able to do something antagonistic and moody like this one.
I think they both did a great job.
so I actually used Scarlett for the Eight of Staffs card before, but the more I thought about it, the more I decided I didn’t like it, so I decided to redo the card with a shot I liked better.
I also wanted the tattoo of the staff/heaven symbol to be less obvious. If you haven’t been following along, each of my tarot suits has a theme and each number has a less obvious theme. The theme for the eights is including the suit sigil. I felt it was too overpowering on the old card, so I decided to disguise it in a more intricate tattoo on this version.
Anyway, let me know what you think. Do you prefer this one or the older version.
Day 756 of 365 Again. I like to have Steph in my self-portraits as much as possible. I dunno why. It probably is some silly thing having to do with loving her. Gross, huh? So anyway, tomorrow she’s going out on some crazy two day charity bike ride with her family. They invited me along,…
Day 755 of 365 Again. So it was a big day in the world of Cosmic Hellcats yesterday. I decided to advertise for the first time in a while and we managed to have a 1000 view day, by far our record (previous record being about 200 views in a day). Now of course the…
Day 754 of 365 Again. So, while I was working on tonight’s Cosmic Hellcats (check it out, yadda yadda yadda) I was watching the Republican National Convention. I love political conventions. You’d think that since I refuse to be a part of either political party I’d hate watching the base pandering of the DNC and…
Day 753 of 365 Again. You know, in 752 days, I don’t think I ever got around to doing one of these before. Crazy, huh? First day back at work after a long weekend is always rough. I was exhausted when I got home. Exhausted and sore. I spent the entire 3 day weekend soaking…
Day 752 of 365 Again. I thought Labor Day was supposed to be a day of rest for the working man. I was busier than ever. At least it was a fun kind of busy. Did some work on Cosmic Hellcats. Kinda annoyed that my views were down in the last week or so over…
