Good-bye Grand-Mère, You’re with your husband again!

Good-bye Grand-Mère, You’re with your husband again!

Just a little online homage to my lunchtime partner years ago when I went to grade school, to the woman who snuck me caramel candies and who used to watch Les Demons du Midi with me. Fabiola Richard, my dear grand-mother, passed away earlier today. Good-bye Grand-Mère… I haven’t seen you in a long time, but I miss you and love you very much, and I know you’re in a happy place standing next to Grand-Père finally after all these years of separation. God bless you and may you rest in peace.

Ten Tips for Smarter Google Searches

Ten Tips for Smarter Google Searches

Found this on Digg and thought I’d share:

Most people use Google in a very inefficient and often ineffective manner. If all you do is enter a few keywords and click the search button, you’re one of those users who don’t get as much out of Google as you could. In this article, Google expert Michael Miller shows you how to search smarter — and more effectively.

Looking for a professional level 3D artist for a personal project!

Looking for a professional level 3D artist for a personal project!

Hi gang,

I am looking to employ the services of anyone that would be able to produce a very high end final product in a 3D environment. Here is an example of the kind of product I will be expecting:

If that image doesn’t display, direct link HERE.

This is for a personal project that is dedicated to a friend of mine that died quite some time ago. He wrote an AMAZING series of stories based on battletech and it starred all his friends as main characters. He was never able to complete the series and died of complications during a asthma attack before age 20. I have one of the only proofs of his story (he and I were roomates) and I have long wanted to scan in all the pieces and basically publish his work in a formal book that I will send to our old friends and his father. His father has known for a long time that I was planning to do this, and I even have a foreword from him to publish the piece.

So, I want to find a high end artist to design the cover art, which I would like to feature a group of several mechs with the proper emblems and paint schemes set on a battle field with smoking barrels and the whole nine yards. We may even discuss some artwork for inside the book depending on your skills and rates.

If you would like to apply for this, I would need you to PM me or send an email to me at info at pixel2life dot com and provide links to your portfolio, delivery turn around times and rates. No beginner artists here please, I need someone who can do this project justice, it’s very dear to me.

Thanks in advance,
Dan
