New Year’s Resolution! (2 Comments)

Liz — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:49:19 +0000

Every year, everybody makes new year’s resolutions they almost always break by february. I’ve been making them myself, and I can’t remember keeping any of them (of course, I usually forget what they are BY february, which of course doesn’t help.) However, this year I’ve picked a somewhat conservative one which, I think, I might actually keep, and I’m posting it here so I can be held somewhat accountable.

My resolution is that I will do at least 1 piece a month 100% for myself. I do so much work for other people, between commission work and the webcomic, and put so much effort into entertaining and pleasing others that I’ve almost forgotten what it’s like to just sit down and draw what I like and what I want. I can count on one hand the number of pieces in the last year I’ve done without any thought to their commercial viability or what others would think about them. Not that I don’t enjoy the work that I do and appreciate all you guys who read the webcomic every week, because I truly do love it! However, every so often I do need a break to indulge my own creative… umm.. brain farts, and sometimes I need to force myself to do that without allowing myself to feel guilty.

For those who would like to keep tabs on me to make sure I am in fact following through, OR if you would just like to check out my artwork (some BPD-related, some not), you should go to my DeviantArt account (http://lizzie-bean.deviantart.com), as well as my personal portfolio site (http://www.lizardbeth.net), though the latter of which may not be updated promptly as I finish each piece. Either way though, I do intend to do whatever it takes to actually follow through with this, since all work and no play make Lizzie go Crazy…. and Lizzie has been All Work for quite a long time now. ;^_^

Wish me luck! And polite pokings, if you feel like it.

New BPD Logo? (19 Comments)

Liz — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 19:59:27 +0000

Right now I’m taking a typography class, and this week’s assignment was to create a logo based purely around text. I decided to play around with making one for BPD, and here’s what I ended up with. Will one of these become the official logo? Possibly, but I haven’t made up my mind yet. We shall see….

Commission-a-thon!!

Liz — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 05:45:47 +0000

Hey guys! I’m trying a new thing out, cuz my computer is in terrible need of replacing. I’m doing a Commission-a-thon, which is basically like one of those telethons they do for TV. Except when you donate to me, you get custom art in return! Neat, huh?

All of the information, rules, guidelines, and prices are HERE.

I will be starting up a live video Ustream sometime this afternoon between noon & 3pm EST, where you will be able to make donations and watch me complete your artwork LIVE (depending on how many people donate and how quickly). The stream will be running late into the night, so stop by whenever you want to contribute or just hang out.

My goal is to raise $2,750, which will cover the remaining cost of my computer plus bills and expenses for the remainder of the month. Because of this, the commission-a-thon will be a multi-day event. If you can’t join today than check back tomorrow or next week; I won’t stop until my goal is reached!

Have questions? Ask them at my LJ or e-mail them to me at LizardbethArt AT gmail DOT com. ^_^
