Ursula Vernon - Wearer of Weasel Skins - Fixed

I had the wrong weapon in this guy's hand when I took the other pictures. Here he is with the axe.

This model is based on Ursula Vernon's

I haven't been doing much with my clay work lately, so I thought I would post something I did a few months ago. This work is meant as a tribute to the art work of Ursula Vernon and is not for sale. Wearer of Weasel Skins

Nintendo Wii

After much searching and an absolute refusal to wait in early morning lines, I managed to get a Nintendo Wii. Target had at least 8 of them and the checkout guy seemed puzzeled at my excitement. Heres my early review:

• Nintendo Wii: The graphics are the only disapointment on the Wii. The controls are the best of any console. This is the first time I haven't missed a keyboard and mouse on a console. The Online store could learn a few things from Microsoft's marketplace, but I expect it to improve over time. I have not been able to find a second Wii controller, or component video cables.

• Wii Sports: No one expects the sample disc that comes with a console to be worth much, but I have spent as much time playing Wii Sports as I have any of the other games I have.

• Rayman Raving Rabbids: Think of Wario ware style mini-games that make you laugh. This one is really fun and should be fun to show your friends when they come over to gawk at your Wii.

• The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Wow! Apparently I haven't really even started the game yet, and I'm already 3 hours in. The story seems to be complex and the controls are spot on. It's supposed to take 60 hours to complete this game.

Oops, Site was broke

Hmm, looks like the site has been broke in Explorer for more than a week. The problem became visible when we added the Amazon links. Apparently there was a missing greater than on a script end tag. Firefox was fine with it, but Explorer freaked all out.

Problem fixed, there's nothing to see here, move along.

XBox 360

Well, we got an XBox 360 and it's pretty damn cool.

Pros:

• Very nice interface.

• Playable demos of almost everything.

• 1080i HD output to our TV.

• Playback of MP3's from our XP server over the local network.

• Viewing of Pictures from our XP server in HD.

• XBox Live Arcade games are almost more fun than the full XBox games.

Cons:

• Can't play movies from the local network server without Windows Media Center OS.

• Games are slightly more expensive than PS2 and PC games.

• Very loud cooling fans.

Fun with the new camera on the 4th of July.

I had fun taking pictures on the 4th this year. Here are a few of the them.

There was a car fire at a neighbor's house. I managed to get a few pics.

New Camera

I just got a brand new digital camera. The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT. This camera is simply amazing. I have a bunch to learn when it comes to photography, but it will be fun learning with this camera.

More dragons

I've been working on a few small dragons.

Dragon box

I saw a box of dominoes at World Market with a dragon picture on them. The box was $30, way too expensive. So I took a box I bought at Goodwill for a dollar and made a Dragon to place on top of it. Then I took a box of dominoes we have, that cost maybe 6 dollars, and put them in.

More New Clay

Some more clay things I have been working on. Nothing too great, but here are the pictures anyway.
