I managed to last about 20-30 minutes. I wasn't able to cover the animation side of CSP's toolkit because I don't use those parts. (I know that others do, and I'd like to find a Mac user somewhere in Ottawa who does for the next time.)
I know I didn't cover more than a fraction of what that software is capable of in that twenty minutes. There are hundreds - thousands? - of tutorials in static web-page and video formats to take one into more depth. These are being created and updated even now. I need to set aside time to practice with CSP regularly.
The need to pay my bills ASAP is cutting into time I could be spending on learning to be a better artist/designer/illustrator and earning an honest living from those skills.

Brief Check-In Post
Jul. 6th, 2020 03:11 pmI'm...not as badly off right now. Still looking for work and for computer gear better suited to supporting video-conferencing for job-search purposes. My co-residents and I are all coping with each other well enough. Practicing a bit more with the design and illustration software I can use right now as well, which helps with the mental-health self-support as much as with job search support.
More as I think of it.

More from the Book Fair
Jul. 3rd, 2012 09:38 pmRob McClennan's got links to photos taken at the Fair. You may want a look at what some of those of us running tables there have been up to over the years.
About that book fair on Saturday
Jun. 27th, 2012 01:41 pmI thought I'd post a catalogue beforehand.
As to when and where...see this link!

Sampling the Sketchbook: Bar Chatter
May. 24th, 2012 08:07 pmWant something like this on your own home's walls?
Yes, I'm still taking commissions.
From TV to Sketchbooks to Comics
Feb. 21st, 2007 09:57 pmMemorables from Little Mosque on the Prairie's latest installment on CBC TV, "The Archdeacon Cometh":
- Rev. Duncan McGee: "Christianity didn't survive two thousand years by being charitable."
- Amir Raashid: "The question is one of ethics."
Yasir Hamoudi: "The question is 'can we get away with it?'"
- Just about any exchange between Fatima Dinssa and Fred Tupper. Comedy gold, those barbs they were slinging back and forth.
Moving on...I've posted something from my sketchbooks inspired by Eddy Newell's work on Black Lightning with Tony Isabella. I like that costume design. Apologies to Ed Benes and Brad Metzler, but I do like it still.
I am unsurprised by the way Marvel ended Civil War this week. The old Samuel Delany saw about inconclusive endings still works for me here. Still uneasy about Omega Flight. Like Puck said to Sasquatch a long time ago, a lot of people busted their buns to get Alpha Flight back again. They want to read Alpha Flight.
