Exciting Holidays

Cajun Sno in Little Rock

                     Good evening everyone! Since it's the season for it, I'm going to be doing some
                  posts on the yearly sno-cone shacks around town. In Little Rock, the sno-cone
                  places open year after year in the same locations, but are only open during the
                  summer seasons. One popular sno-cone shack that I recommend is a place called
                  Cajun Sno. They don't have an official website, but they recently opened a facebook
                  page, which you can see here. It's located in a parking lot, next to the Acadia
                  restaurant. Cajun Sno makes shaved ice, or sno- cones, with a real fine ice machine,
                  so when you eat it, it comes out soft and fluffy and has no chunky parts. You usually
                  get a straw too, since the concoction comes out so soft, you can usually drink it half
                  way in. I tried many different flavors and love them all, but in the photos below, I
                  only showed two, Wedding Cake, and Peaches and Cream. (Both are really good!)

Some Artwork I Made Part 2...

           Hey everyone! I know in my last post I said I'll show more art in the near future, but I
           decided that as these are short, quick posts, that don't need alot of writing, I'm going to
           post photos of my other painting I made for a friend. The painting was done in a
           typical anime style, but I tried to make it unique with small features here and there,
           and tried to put a good amount of detail into the dress. I was going for a fantasy feel,
           and I think I succeeded. Like my last painting, this was made with acrylic on canvas,
           after applying gesso on the canvas, and measures about 8 by 10 inches. Also mentioned
           in my other post was my last painting having multiple photos due to the lighting in my
           house; it's the same here.

Some Artwork I Made...

           Hey everyone! I finished a painting; it's semi realistic so the features are still exaggerated,
           but I was proud of how natural the skin tone came out since it took alot of mixing to get
           those colors. I made this for a friend, so I don't have the original anymore; I'll post another
           that I finished in the future. The materials I used was acrylic on canvas, after I used gesso
           on the canvas. The painting is about 8 by 10 inches. (More or less.) (I promise I'll go back
           to bigger blog posts soon!) The multiple shots is due to the fact the lighting wasn't very
           good around the house, so I took a few shots under different light.

A New Idea for Interviews

                 Hi, everyone! Do you remember this post ? I'm still going to do this of course, and
       will probably have new interviews up during the summer, but what I wanted to talk about here
      was my idea on specific creator pages. I have, like any person, preferences for some author or
       director works over others, and also, like any good fan, like to dig around for interviews.

               In the post I linked to, I mentioned I'll rewrite interviews from the old magazines I own,
      but what I'm talking about here, is more of a universal idea for not only anime and manga,
      but on actors or book authors I really like. I thought, what I can do is, say I do a small biography
      page on a author I like;then I'll link to various sites that had interviews on that person,
      and put them on one page. Sometimes, contact pages are not available on all sites, but I won't
      rewrite another's interview here, (minus my magazines), just offer a link so you can read the
      interviews yourself. So, it's a big project, and I might need some help on it in the future, but for
      now, I'm going to keep it simple, and try doing a page after this post.
