| In addition to PKking’s new pictures for his Wu Yan sculpt, he also released new color pictures for his Nie Long work. At the moment I have no plans to acquire this work, but I do want to share this with you. PKking’s work is exceptional. To view the sculptor’s work see PKking’s website. Or, take a look at the pictures that I have on hand here in the Gallery. Send me a note if you want contact information to order his work. Pictures are posted with permission.
January 18, 2012, is a worldwide protest against two copyright and intellectual property acts before the American Congress. One act is SOPA (Stop Onine Piracy Act) and the other is PIPA (Protect IP Act). These acts seek to place restrictions on websites that copy and redistribute various copyright material and other documents that are [...]  PKking has just finished assembling his Wu Yan model and has released some color pictures. His work is truly exceptional and I certainly look forward to building my copy of this model in the next year or two. To view the sculptor’s work see PKking’s website. Send me a note if you want [...] Happy New Year! Well, 2012 has begun with a bang. Shortly after noon on January 2 all my Gallery 2 data was trashed unexpectedly. Now, this is either hackers, or someone doing something on my hosted web service site, or some unseen glitch in the Gallery 2 software. This must be a sign [...] MiniSlideShow is an interesting Flash plugin to display Gallery2 images on your website. One problem with this slide show is that generating an RSS feed takes time. The generation delay impacts the start of the slideshow, particularly if the slideshow is included as a sidebar block on every Gallery page or embedded application page. This can be particularly noticable if the feed contains many images. Each display of a new page results is a new invokation of the slideshow and this results in a new initialization of the RSS feed. One way to mitigate the feed generation performance loss is to cache the generated RSS feed XML text. [...]  Well, it is now mid-December, and as promised I have finished the serpent on the Sturgeon King model. I sprayed some green to blue Alclad II prismatic paint along the belly of the serpent to add some additional shading and texture. The Alclad II prismatic paints have an interesting effect whereby they change color [...]  Now it is early December and I have started work on the serpent. I am not finished, but I thought I would post some progress pictures. I had mostly intended to follow PKking’s original color scheme as it made sense. The serpent is rising from the water and the base of the creature [...]  Well, it’s November now. I had hoped to have the base for my Sturgeon King model completed sooner, but sometimes things happen. It’s perhaps better not to rush. But really, I messed up. I had to redo some work and this contributed to the delay. I thought to build a simple oak base for [...]  Well, it’s October and my summer hiatus is over. I am now starting work on PKking’s wonderful sculpt, the Balance of the Nine Skies Sturgeon King. I am really curious to see what I can do with this. There are interesting facets of PKking’s sculpture that lead to creative ideas, although I am not [...] Slimbox 2 is a lightweight jQuery implementation of the famous Lightbox 2 script that is often used to overlay images on a web page. Slimbox 2 is being used on Kisekae World. It is possible to extend and modify the Slimbox script to automatically show all images in a set much like a slideshow. [...] | |||||||||||
