Hey guys-
So I frequently come to you for help and I SO INFREQUENTLY repay it haha. BUT! Today I have two exciting tidbits, both in response to prior "HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME" journals.
First: the Watching You script! The last one is debunked, but here is a wonderful snazzy new one.
Basically this is a script that tells you when another deviant is watching you. Very very helpful.
Second: the suit book! Thank you
!!! It is called "Garment Construction: Jacket and Pants" and it's by John Watkiss. The book is sadly out of print, but if you, like me, were in it to find the artist, I strongly suggest you take a minute to familiarize yourself with his work. It's fantastic.
Thanks as always for all your help everyone; hope these resources can be helpful to some of you!
<edit> couldn't get the link to work right unless I put it without anything after it? Weird. Here it is! johnwatkiss.blogspot.com/2007/…

Teaching in Boston
Hey All! As some of you know, I've been tutoring via skype for some time, but this winter I'm expanding into the REAL LIVE WORLD of teaching classes! For the month of December, I'll be doing a trial and seeing if this is a tenable arrangement, so I get to teach WHATEVER THE HECK I FEEL LIKE.
So I wanted to A) let those among you who are Bostonians know this was going on, and B) ask you for feedback. What classes would you be most interested in taking? Have you taught/attended independent arts classes before and you have suggestions or anything? What days/times would you be most likely to go to? All RIGHT!
P.S. this IS connected to the
DA's Commissions Shop
So this is a thing! http://www.deviantart.com/commissions/
So. Your friendly neighborhood Auntie Toerning is going to step in for a second here. Firstly, I think it's very groovy and awesome that DA is establishing their own marketplace. It's a scary world out there of work for hire and it's totally awesome that DA artists now have this stepping stool to practice professional habits in the same way that we practice artistic skills!

I would like to take a moment to discuss the rates here. I was just exploring quickly, and saw on the navigation on the left "price," and, like every other human on the planet, clicked
Comic Composition Geekout
SPECIAL GUEST STAR (against his knowledge) IS ~Andrew-Ross-MacLean (https://www.deviantart.com/andrew-ross-maclean)
You guys know when I get really excited about art geekery, I JUST CAN'T KEEP IT IN. I also feel like composition is a really hard thing to learn, and all you can really do is try to learn "what is good" in composition, and then try to find examples until you can recognize it. In addition, composition for comics is extra hard because you have to worry about the overall flow of the page as well as the composition of each individual panel.
So I was doing my spring cleaning of my message center and came on some new comic pages he uploaded, all of which are awesome, but ta
Shared Studio Spaces
This is something I've been thinking a lot about. The fact of the matter is, as much as it's awesome, I don't work my best from home. I want to be able to "go to work" in the morning, see people, do my thing, and then come home. There are too many complications and distractions working from home, and too few opportunities to participate in the world as a human being. And I know of co-working spaces, to be sure there are loads of options in San Francisco, but having visited a bunch of them, there aren't any just right. I've always had a fantasy of starting a shared studio space, a small one, not a big vaulty warehouse style thing, maybe a
