What the hell?????

This is really bugging me....I don't know what happens. I know I'm not updating this blog anymore, as I moved it to zendamage.com, but somehow, a spammer is POSTING, actually POSTING on this blog...it has to be a bug in blogger, but I don't know what to do or how to report it!!!! I hate this!

Zen damage has moved

Hey, I moved the blog to its own domain. Now you should visit zendamage.com/blog, and if you want to subscribe, the feed address is http://feeds.feedburner.com/ZenDamage.

With this post, I'm officially closing this blogger blog, but I expect to see you at the new site. Bye!

Hey, what's up with zen damage?

I guess you've noticed that the blog hasn't been updated in a while. I know, it's my fault. When work calls, you have to leave some projects aside. And zen damage had to be put aside.

But, I'm always coming back to it, because I just like this blog and I want to keep it alive.

There are some news. First: I'll be moving this blog to its own domain: zendamage.com. You can go there, but you won't find anything yet. I'm working on the new design, and seeing if I'll put other resources there as well. If anyone is willing to collaborate, please leave a comment, and I'll contact you. I'll be setting up a contact form, too just in case anyone is willing to take part in this project.

The second thing is: I got rid of all ads. So the site is completely ad free, just because. I want this blog to grow, and provide a good service. It's not commercial, it's just done because I like it. Again, if anyone is willing to collab, or has a suggestion, please leave a comment. I don't post an email address because it's bound to be flooded with spam.

Thanks guys, and be sure I'll have new material soon.

Layout refresh

Nothing fancy, but I went in the code and changed the CSS a bit, so we've got different colors, and a bit different layout. It was just a quick change to refresh Zen Damage a bit, hope you like it.

I'm thinking about moving the site to its own wordpress. Not sure yet, as it doesn't receive a lot of traffic, so, we'll see, we'll see.

Yosuke Ueno

If I had to describe Youske Ueno's art with one word, it would be: weird. Weird, true, but great, cool :) I highly recommend you take a look at his gallery of paintings. One special things to notice is that his art is full of icons, and thank God, he's put a page describing them, so we understand his iconography way better.

The Fine Art of Lori Earley

Lori Earley is an artist with a unique eerie style. Her paintings, mostly portraits, have a realistic but distorted touch (kind of an oxymoron, I know). You'll see she pays special attention to the eyes, making them bigger, giving her paintings an awesome alien style. That's the best way I could explain her illustrations/paintings. I guess it's better if you go to her gallery and see her artwork

Massive Swerve

There's something I love about blogs. They are more personal than a simple artist's site showing his profile. You can find out about their news, projects, inside opinions, and all that stuff. So, this time, I want to give a quick link to Massive Swerve, which is Robert Valley's blog.

He's been posting a few pages of his book, which you can also buy at lulu.com. It's just amazing. I want to buy it, though the final cost for me, as I live in Ecuador, due to shipping, goes up to 35 USD, which is a bit too much for me, so I'll have to avoid that and visit his blog instead. You'll find very very cool and sexy artwork over there. His style reminds me of that of fashion designers/sketchers. It's very cool.

You might also want to visit his site, and above all, I recommend you watch one movie that is in his portfolio. It's an immersive experience. The animation isn't really complex, it's just about you going to a party, taking drugs, meeting women, having sex. It's really cool (and the music is perfect).

Again, I say, you're going to love it. So, go for the massive swerve.

Samuel Cochetel, illustrator

I'm usually not interested in the life of the artist, but only in the art they create. That's why I have no idea if Samuel Cochetel is famous or not. I think he's from France because his site is in french, and he's got a french domain. That's about everything.

But I do know his illustrations are really good. I know that he's talented, and I know you're going to visit his site and check out his work.

I know, I know, I have to give you a link, right? go visit Samuel Cochetel's homepage, and enjoy!
