Ushering in the New Year with an Update

Studio Time: Three

Wishing you all the best in 2011.

Request for Feedback

Nearly two and a half years ago I did a photo shoot for a simgenix challenge based on the seven deadly sins. Mine was done on Lust. No surprise there right? I've learned a lot in nearly three years and I'd like to complete the set. I would love some feedback from anyone who reads this.

Pent-Up Frustration

Some of you asked what Cooper has been up to all this time. This is a small glimpse...

Once again, game and PC issues along with real life made this a bit harder than it should be. We're working on resolving that...

Studio Time: Two

Every Year, Every Christmas

I don't know how love could do this to me
I've waited and waited for someone I've never seen
But I'm so sentimental, and I'm so hopeful you'll be here
So, here I am every year, every Christmas. (Yes)

I've wished for you in my heart and in my head
And I got my answer that first moment that we met
And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
You'd be here every year, every Christmas

There must be a lesson for me to learn
If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return
Why should I be lonely, don't tell me it's fine
I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight

So much emotion, it's driving me mad (yeah)
But I'll take my chances with these feelings that I have
And I'll come back to this same corner where we met
And I'll be here every year, every Christmas

Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
'Cause oh, I wonder, yes, I wonder are you gonna leave me standing here
Today's almost over, but I don't wanna leave
Has my heart made a fool out of me?

My friends gather round me with holiday cheer
They say to forget you, to let you go 'cause you're not here
Well, I can't keep explaining what they'll never understand
And why I'm here every year, every Christmas
I return every year, every Christmas
I come here every year, every Christmas

Press Release - Studio Time

~ This is Blade wondering when I am going to stop blowing up his house ~

Introducing our newest project...Sessions ~ Studio Time. This blog will continue where Sessions left off. We are extremely excited about it and while it has the same look and feel of Sessions, we are going to explore a lot more. We already know where much of the first arc is going, we have new residents whose stories we look forward to writing about so add this bad boy to your blog rolls and Readers!

Honestly the fact that we were able to manage this with everything going on right now is a Christmas miracle of its own. Neither one of us can keep our games running beyond 5 minutes...

This first piece is longer than usual, heavy on images and done in a style we do not normally use. We wanted to do something different. We like it. We hope you do as well.

And I don't normally like to warn people since what we write is for adults but there is some skin showing in this one...

As always a collaboration. Studio Time ~ One

Spirit of the Season

In the past I have tried to do some sort of holiday post but circumstances have prevented me from accomplishing what I intended this season. Illness, personal issues in RL, and technical difficulties are just of few of the road blocks. My hope was to put up something special for my online friends. At the very least I hope this is doable by New Year's since I do get the holiday week off. If not, well I guess I let the cat out of the bag and failed to follow through. But I am fairly confident that I can pull it off. I'm going to try my best anyway.

Until then, I wish all of you Happy Holidays. May yours take Flight in joy and peace.

Winter Song ~ Sessions Update

December never felt so wrong,
cause you're not where you belong;
inside my arms.

Taking this moment to thank each and every person who has followed our work. New friends, old friends...your constant support, laughter, tears, anger, surprise and joy have meant so much.

Special thanks to Beth for more than I can ever articulate.

Sometimes endings are really beginnings.

The Unlikely Place

This is always a hard time of year for me and, try as I might not to, I get caught up in memories. Just when I thought I might fall, joy and laughter came from a most unlikely source.

It is no secret that there is something about Shooter that appeals to me. Not until the other night did I realize what it was and vocalized it to Beth. In fact it was one of her shots of my boy here that made me see it. Shooter bears a very strong resemblance to someone I dated briefly when I was very young and impetuous. It was an amazing relationship such as it was and it brought back some good memories for me. Shooter is nothing like what we anticipated. At all.

Thank you, Shooter, for the smiles and the walk down memory lane.

Anyway I won't bore you with the uninteresting details but after struggling for days and days with CC and an inability to landscape properly I threw my hands in the air, said enough is enough and moved Shooter in. What resulted was a fun photo shoot and a Welcome Wagon.

Photo shoot is under the cut.
Welcome Wagon is here.
Also, Bio for Duff Tyson is here.

Two Sides of the Same Coin

Not much to say lately that hasn't already been said. Got my game working and have slowly picked at it. I read once where someone (a reader somewhere) asked if characters were based on a particular person, based on the writer, or where they come from. I have pieces of me in each character that has come out of my head in one way or another. Melinda is no exception. Although I don't run a whore house. And she is taller than me but then most people are.

Worked on a couple of mosaics. I really love doing those. We should be putting that up somewhere soon. Otherwise this may be the last blog post I do for awhile unless I have some sort of update to announce. I'm fading. Bad time of year for me. Putting on a happy face but I don't feel it right now.
