Digital Blu

Hello and Welcome! Photography There have been a couple of projects on the side with my photography. Most, of course, have been of events we have gone and I have taken pictures of. By now, most of the Cosplay photos have rolled out onto the Digital Blu Facebook page and some new ones will be on their way from a small event we went to in Taylor, Texas. It was a small convention regarding toy trains and Legos. All these pictures from this event will be crawling out now until mid October. I do have another project on the side regarding my extensive collection of The X-Files memorabilia that I have collected over the years, starting around in the year 1998 or 1999. I first put these photos in my personal Facebook page, to display them since I am very proud of my collection and still to this day am still collecting an item I do not own. I have crossed these photos to my Digital Blu Facebook page as well, as practice for my Product Photography hobby that I would like to turn into a busine...

Game of Thrones "I s roughly based on the storylines of A Song of Ice and Fire, set in the fictional Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and the continent of Essos. The series chronicles the violent dynastic struggles among the realm's noble families for the Iron Throne, while other families fight for independence from it." - Wikipedia . In all technicality, the show was based on the books authored by George R.R. Martin which have the same name or boxed into one whole series called Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire. Following that there are 7 books total and each have their own name, i.e. A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, etc. The last two books are still in the making. You are most definitely introduced to many different characters, but in the show you are introduced to The Starks, The Lannisters and The Targaryens, 3 completely different households. Throughout the whole series you see lots of battles, back stabbing and secrets being exposed...

Hello and welcome! 100 Likes Well, my Facebook Page has finally received 100 likes! I want to Thank each and every one of you, the audience. I want to Thank you for believing in me, my hobbies and all that I am able to show and share with you all. I am very proud of my page getting to 100 likes, it really does mean a lot to me. It shows that you do care to follow it and what I have to offer you! Even if its not 5+ likes that I get in each post that I add, which I would like too but not trying to be greedy now, but just liking my page just shows that you are paying attention and like what you see. Hopefully we can push it to 150 or 200 likes later, who knows, but I hope so once all of my hobbies turn into successful businesses. So, here's to more likes in the future! Events So, C2E2 came and went and it was a hassle. I was able to take as many photos as I could of cosplay, so those photos will be coming soon. Once I finish adding all the classic cars in the Facebook Page, then...

Hello and welcome! Events As you were able to see on the Facebook Page, I have added placeholders of events that I will be attending. These are already been confirmed that I will be there and those are two conventions. Most of the other events that will come up will be free unless told otherwise by their site, if available. So far, the two conventions are called C2E2 located in Chicago, Illinois and the other is A-kon located in Dallas, Texas. I will try to attend any type of event that I am able or willing to have objects displayed for me to photograph. I am going to try my best to attend at least 2 events per month, unless there are more within the same month and hopefully all the events that I see and want to attend to are free. So far, the Rock N Rides car show in Cedar Park, Texas was a success. There was not much of a crowd, tons of classic and modern cars, and the weather was perfect. In the morning hours that day, we did have storms and the event was going to continue w...

2019 Welcome to 2019 folks! I hope that this new year treats you well and keeps you in the positive path in any decision or journey that crosses in your life. If you're an artist, in any shape or form, then I hope you stay creative, original, and inspirational! So, let's begin! Facebook So for starters, I'm sorry for the lack in everything in this blog. I tend to say things, in the sense of wanting to keep up with as a resolution and then I fail and don't keep up with it. Hopefully, this time around, I will have more time to dedicate my time and attention to a lot of things around here and that is including my hobbies. Back to the title at hand, I have been updating my Facebook page more than this blog. Although I am here to explain as to the current changes that will be happening in my Facebook page. You, as the audience, will be seeing posts added each Sunday afternoon of new edited photos I took over my Christmas holiday week off with my family. My family love...

Welcome all or to whoever does read these posts. I Thank you for doing so and I hope you continue. Well, as of late there have been some changes around here, if you didn't realize, but I will point them out better for everyone to be able to see them clearer. Layout I have recently changed the layout on my blog. No, the photo you see as the background is not taken by me. All the credit goes to the appropriate person or people. I might change it to one of mine, but for now I will keep it this way. I also did remove one section that was called "Laptop Covers". Why I did it is because I hardly did any of them recently and the small business, if you can call it that, did not go anywhere. The designs or logos that were available weren't mine and I did not want to get into trouble in any shape or form. If ironically you still want one made by me, with a specific look or theme in mind, do not hesitate to contact me. I did recently create an email specifically for my blog a...

2017 Welcome all to the New Year, 2017! I know I am late in celebrating the new year. We are already in it for 3 months. Hopefully everyone who wanted more adventures this year will get them soon if not already, those who wanted some goals for themselves have been completed or in the process of completing and if not fit for you, then I hope you are happy and content in your new year! Back to the drawing board! 50x50x50 project So I stumbled upon a nifty project, called you guess it, the "50x50x50 project". This does involve my camera and my new lens, my 50mm 1.8G. Basically what you would have to do is take 50 photos in 50 days only using your 50mm lens. I kind of broke some rules on this project, but still am doing it when I got the time to do so. There's one rule broken, since it did state daily and I'm not doing it daily. I do have a syllabus to follow, so that way I don't loose track or forget what I should be focusing on only. I gave myself this syllabus ...

The End is near Hello all, once again sorry for the silence around here. An artist never quits and once they find a hobby or a project, they won't stop in the middle of it. I myself love finding new art to put into my life or on my belt and will never stop to find a new category or niche. Sorry for the title here, but the year is almost up and I haven't updated this blog since the beginning of this year.. hence the title. Now back to the update! Getting adjusted This year I dabbled here and there with photography. Was trying to learn it on my own while wanting to attend schools for a degree on it, to just checking out articles and youtube videos on it, especially on Landscape photography. Luckily I have a great friend of mine that works with me and has gone to school for it. We are in the same page, per se in life, and she knows that I am serious enough to want to learn it more and more everyday. She has been teaching me at work everything she knows of photography and what ...

2016 I know its been such a long time since I wrote in here and I do apologize for that. Life has been very hectic, especially since I have moved, changed jobs, and have gotten married since the last post. Since moving and getting married between 2014-2015, I really haven't had any time to do the things I used to love and care for and just do out of randomness, art. This year, 2016, I really want to change that. I really want to get into focus with art again since I haven't had much of it in my life recently and it bothers me so. What am I going to do to fix that, you might ask and here's a small list to explain that. Ph otography For over 5 years now, I have been taking photos using the camera phone I have at the time and whenever I had the chance to actually use or just have in my possession a real camera, I would work myself hard to be good with it. I want to get better with photography since my husband has given me a Nikon DSLR D3200 camera as a Christmas gift. ...

Hello and Welcome! I would like to start off with an apology to anyone who was, and hopefully still is, viewing this blog. I know I haven't updated like I said I would, but now is better than never. So shall we? Lets. Facebook There has been many updates on the Digital Blu page on Facebook! My main focus has been Photography as of late, so every month or end of the month, I update it with various photos I took during the month. I have gracefully created albums titled appropriately for the type of photos I take (i.e. Nature, Places, etc.). I have had the great opportunity to take many photos on the traveling I do with my family, so whenever I get the chance, I take a photo of what catches my eye. So please do check out all of my artwork in the page and as usual, if you have any ideas or opinions of what I should take photos of then don't hesitate to leave a comment on the page! Baptisms and Thank you Cards I said it before and I'll say it again, I am still available...

Hello and welcome!! I'm sorry it's been so hush hush around this blog in particular. Since Digital Blu has made its debut to the world of Facebook, I have been updating that first. I apologize for that happening, but I will try my best from now on to update this at the same time as well. Well, on to the updates and such! Photography From a request by my sister, I have done a photo shoot of our family and well as couple shots. These are only some examples of my photography work this past weekend. Despite the cold weather at the Chicago Botanic Garden, we continued with the photo shoot. I enjoyed every bit of being a part of it and being the photographer nonetheless.

Title/Name: Together believing Date completed: 8/13/2012 Program used: Photoshop CS3 Reference picture: Can be looked up on google. For those of you who would not like looking around for the original, here it is: I did change it to black and white and only focused on the important part of the photo, with adding some of my own touches to it...the stars background.

Hello and Welcome!! Sorry for no actual art updates, I have been busy with 2-3 painting projects dealing with my small business and a painting/drawing I promised a friend a long while back. Here is the painting: It an anime character off of a "How to Draw Manga" comic book I got from the friend who wanted me to draw it for him. I surprised him with it this Tuesday and I liked that he said he will mat/frame it and of course I did sign it once I finished it completely. The original drawing is here: I know some of the colors aren't close to it on mine and a bit out of proportion in some parts, but at least I didn't give up when those situations crossed my path and well....just gave up completely. I need to get back into drawing people/characters and proportions, I was never good at those. That's one project I have been working on, the others have been mouse pads- one as a commission for a small business and the other just as a gift. ~~~~~~ Ericc Mouse pad...

Sorry for no recent updates to this blog. Been trying to figure out what I can do as a small business again. I figured one thing out and have continued with it. Have you ever hated not finding a cover for you laptop? Don't like how dull or boring your laptop cover screen is? Want a laptop cover that defines you and what you like?? Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon artwork A closer and better angle. If you would like one, please don't hesitate to contact me via comments here in the blog or through a social media site you have me in, ie Facebook/Tumblr. Send me your idea(s) or what you would like on it, the size of your laptop [screen] cover, and I will give you the estimates of time and price for it (price will include shipping cost, if needs to be shipped). I am in the process of making another one of Puss in Boots: Puss in Boots. Reference picture above actual painting. Closer look/view of details. I do use paint, acrylic to be exact, and bristol paper f...

Hello and welcome!! Sorry there hasn't been an update here for a long while. Since I have more time now, I will be getting back into making more digital paintings in Photoshop CS3 very soon. Right now I would like to bring up several changes into this blog. As you can tell some of them by first glance, I did add my logo as a banner and well as the "favicon" as it is referred here in blogspot. I also added all the digital paintings I have done so far in the mini gallery to your right of this post. So far, it is only 4 pictures, but more will be added there and to my flickr account as well, to be displayed in that mini gallery there. There may be more changes as time goes by so don't be shocked of sudden changes. Changes are good to anything, so expect more to come. I will also continue several paintings I have put on hiatus during the year or more and if you need a refresher on those here they are: here and here . Not many as you can see, but I will be adding more ...

Hello and welcome!! It is complete!! I was not able to print it out today, but at least it is complete. To my eyes, it is complete, but what do you, the audience, think?? I also figured out a title for it. Here it is in its steps/progress: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Uncle Bubba: Uncle Bubba -- Photoshop CS3 -- Complete -- 09/02/2011 Well, my next project is to finish the Jester and then I have others in mind to paint afterwards, so I will mention those when I get started on them. Thanks for stopping by and viewing!!

Hello and welcome!! As promised, I bring you an update of the latest Photoshop project I've been working on. Worked on the arms, some of the background, shirt and baby's leg. The main thing that I've been doing is the details on the painting and its basically what I'll be working on till Friday comes along. My goal is to finish it before Friday comes, so I can print it at my old job and hopefully get to do 2 things at once there. I sure do hope I finish on time and have time to stop by my old job Friday for print out, they got the best printers there lol. Well, off I go and until next time!! Thanks for stopping by!
