AND...

STAR WARS!




Awesome.

I'm still skeptical...

I'm seriously considering uploading my novella, "Millennium City" to blurb.com and selling copies of it.

A dystopian detective story set three hundred years into the future and told from the first person point of view.


Would anyone be interested in purchasing a copy if i were to do this?

The length of the novella is about the length of the first "Harry Potter" book, just so you know...





Just throwin' it out there...

Kirk Cameron gets pwned...

Ok, universe...

I'm not all that hip on you bitch slapping me to get what you want.
And I'm not about to even attempt to bitch slap you into getting what I want.
So, it seems we are at an impass.

How about you giving me a little more of a hint at what you'd like? I have sacrificed a lot in the past 5 years and so much more than I had ever intended since moving here almost three years ago. I left a lot behind in Arizona to help out with family and HUGE medical issues that were following them.

We both know I'm not SUPPOSED to be sitting in a corporate environment, even though I don't mind it so much.
We both know I should be writing or taking photos for a living...something much more creatively suited to me and my wants thru life.

BUT...I still need to eat, have a roof over my head (and my girlfriends), gas in my car, food for my cat(s), and have the ability to pay my bills, which, as you know sucks ass.

What I'm kind of hinting at here...is...how about a little help, eh? Even just a hint, a briefing, a peek, and "accidental" look into how to make things a little easier.


All I want (would like) to do is become a published author and be somewhat known for my photography, but I still need money in order to keep LIFE going in order to do these small things...so, how about a little help, mkay?





Thanks,

My friend (and soon to be 40 feet away neighbor), cybergremlin is responsible for the Cthulhu mask for her husband, archmage that made an appearance at my costumed birthday party last April.

The photo, needless to say, made the rounds on the internet...

For those of you who don't remember, take a gander below...



(Left to Right - daemonwise as Eddie Valiant (Roger Rabbit), archmage as Cthulhu, and myself, matrixleap as The Shadow.


She's selling the masks now on Etsy...

Check out the link...

an Etsy shop


They are hand made and come complete with Cthulhu Awesomeness!

Wear an Elder God around the house to keep warm, or scare the kiddies...

Believe me, you WANT this mask...

Stolen from archmage ...and what the guy, Philip says...is very true.

Take a moment to watch.

I'm going to pimp this out for my girl, although she didn't even ask me to...

Go checkout Fright Town in PDX...a giga-hugenormical haunted town!

That is all.

Fucking AWESOME horror photography by JOSHUA HOFFINE:

I am a new fan...

When I was near the age of six, my brother introduced me to a new game. Now, to preface this, as a very young child I was VERY much into games; video games were just becoming more “mainstream” in households – systems made by “Atari”, “Colleco”, and “Intellivision” with all the games that they provided. I was an Atari kid, and I loved it…

"I believe you have something for me...?"

Bought an iPhone because my phone died...it was working well until I updated iTunes and thus the iPhone app...now it's frozen.

I have no phone until this is figured out by Apple...I guess it's common with the 8gig 3G phone.

Until resolution, I have no phone, and thus, no way to get a hold of anyone.

Oh god, it's awesome in so many ways.

daemonwise was handed the print that he purchased from me yesterday late afternoon. It would have been earlier, but, I didn't know I had pushed the button to "pick up" the print, rather than have it "delivered". Actually, I'd rather it be picked up, unless going out of state, because it saves me $5.oo on shipping.

He was impressed by the print and the quality, which made me VERY happy. The lab I chose was a new one for me as my previous lab up'd the pricing 300% nearly on their print service. I was a little apprehensive, but, all that dissapeared when I saw the print itself. Kodak paper was used and, unlike your home printer, the ink was inserted INTO the printer, rather than just printing it on top of the paper (Like an ink jet). That print will last three, if not more, decades on his wall.

The only downside was that my monitor is not calibrated to their system, so, it was a little darker than I would have preferred, but, daemonwise seemed to prefer that, which I thought as well.

Needless to say, I'll be going thru this lab from now on.


On that note...this month I actually AM going to participate in "Last Thursday"...I'm going to have maybe 10 - 12 different prints from my portfolio printed to show...this is where I would like you, my friends, to help me out.

If you head to my deviant site :

http://discoyoda.deviantart.com/gallery/ 

OR my flickr site:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/studio_eppers/ 

(Which have many from the above mentioned site) and help me decide WHICH 10 -12 images I should print.

Sometimes, I'm a little too close to my work to make a GOOD decision; on I think is amazing might not be to another.


Also, should there be time, I'm going to try and have several photo books put together thru blurb.com - a few pieces I've been working on since moving here, compiled and put together...with a little luck, a couple of those books might be there too, as well as a gaggle of my business cards.


Thanks in advance!

AWESOME...

http://wildammo.com/2009/08/09/what-stormtroopers-do-on-their-day-off/


You are welcome.

I have a few friends that I speak with or see on a daily, or very regular, basis...and these people, along with their arts, should be pointed out...

Each of them rocks out on the art side of things and need a deserving nod sent their way...

sihaya09  and her beautiful wares at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5093311

So here's the deal...

I'm going to try and pimp my photography here for starters.

Who DOESN'T want an original piece by Dustin Eppers hanging on their wall? I mean an exquisite piece of art that shows the complexities of man and his surroundings; the land, frivolty, excitement, and sometimes quiet contemplation...

Everyone needs a bit of art in their life!



So, if you head on over to either of my image sites (Since I don't have my OWN web-site up yet...), you can choose a hi-res image that I will have printed for you and then shipped your way. Pricing varies on size, but if you tell me what size you want, I'll tell you the price range.



http://www.flickr.com/photos/studio_eppers/

and here...(there's more here, by the way)

http://discoyoda.deviantart.com/gallery/

The images will be professionally printed and you have your choice of having a matte around the image as a border...framing is possible, but that's also a bit more expensive, just as an FYI. Once I contact my printer, turn around is about 24 hours before shipping.


daemonwise started the ball rolling with purchasing this one which will look awesome on his wall at a size of 12 x 18 for the print itself which is now in the hands of the print guru's becoming all pretty like.




PayPal is accepted...as is good ol' hard cash.
Just let me know which one you prefer.
