The Book of the Shadows

Drum roll please... the unveiling of the top project for this anniversary weekend...

I wasn’t sure going into the end of 2015 that I would be able to either come up with an idea for a project, or complete a project, in time for Valentine’s Day this year. But, as it is seldom seen, I did stumble into a minor project of sorts.

I don't like art in the way people who go to museums like art. You couldn't ask me to describe the artistic motif or the use of color or the use of brush strokes, pen strokes, or what have you in any piece of art. I don't tend to see things like that with the depth to comment on quality or utility. But I do like art in the abstract (not necessarily abstract art). I can appreciate art in the aesthetic sense, even if I can't get into it in a technical sense. I feel that is what makes the difference between me being a decent, above average artist, and me being a really good artist. There is a website where people with much more talent and creativity than me submit their work. Okay, actually there are several websites like that, but this one is one of my favorites. It is called Minitokyo.net , and it is focused on anime, video game, and manga artwork. Much of the work there is free to download, and I have in the past used a number of pieces for wallpapers on my desktop....
