I've been working really, really hard on new stuff for the website so I can finally update this website again with some new content after such a long period of inactivity. I admit that at there was a long stretch where I was slacking off, but I've done some new artwork and it's looking really good. So sit tight, everyone. I promise that the wait will be worth it.
Today I wanted to make some new prints of my artwork for my colour portfolio. I go to open up my Casey Jones piece and I get a strange message telling me that there has been an error and some pixels are no longer valid. What the hell? The image file is damaged! Never seen anything like this before. How this happened, I don't have a clue. The suggested causes are from a faulty connection or scratched media or something, which is just nonsense to me because I'm running this file off my hard drive. The result is that there's a slice around the center going all the way across one of the layers where its all messed up and nothing looks like its supposed to. Adobe is no help. They say that this information is lost forever. I don't know if I've got a backup or not. So the only way to fix this may be to go in there and fix it by hand. I've already taken a few stabs at it and it's really tough. If this were to happen to a crappy picture then I wouldn't be so upset, but this is Casey Jones and I really liked that one! I was really hoping to get some printouts of it, but I might just have to give up the ghost on that. I don't know that it'd be worth the time and effort to fix it at this point.
