Yesterday Jerry (HEaMUSEsme) finished his 700 Hoboes drawing of Gravelbed and tried to submit it to the 700 Hoboes Project via Flickr with no success. It made it to the Flickr group but not to the site. He was GRUMPY. I don’t blame him I would be too.
Today HE WAS STILL GRUMPY AND he found out that he had been categorized as “PRIVATE” and that is BAD, VERY BAD…for content that might “OFFEND THE COMMUNITY”. HMMM. I don’t think I’m digging that. Apparently in the small print Flickr has rules about content that are let’s say the rules are arbitrary (meaning.. sometimes they stick to them and sometimes they don’t and they are in very very fine print.
So saying all this I am going to post Jerry’s (HEaMUSEsme’s) drawing of #488: Gravelbed Gavin Astor (’cause Flickr WON’T). I think he’s great! I will post a link to the actual drawing on the 700 Hoboes Project when he gets this all sorted out. (BTW I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY @!*^ IMP).

What Else? Today is WordPress/Webpage Wednesday and also Play Date with Grendel and Little Dog. Jerry is coming over this evening to help me look at portfolio options. We are going to look at the Flickr and Simpleviewer and see what we think about customization. I’ll let you know how that goes tomorrow.
On a private note about my personal well being – The Home Front seems sound and today when I was going to work I decided that “I wanted to live my life” instead of just being in it and watching it going by. This morning Susan told me that she thought I was on the verge of actually becoming who I am. Interesting and enlightening at the same time. I really dig her. I hope she remains in my life for a long time. Also motivating because I feel like I have grown a lot lately (having those horrible growing pains that wake you up in the middle of the night and won’t let you go back to sleep) and that this whole experience of trying to evolve into the artist I want to become is worth it. Thank you to the gods (who are crazy and unpredictable) for the positive affirmation to keep going with this.
‘Til tomorrow.
