I’m not entirely sure how it’s possible, but with the Kickstarter having now come to a close, I feel as if the level of how busy I am has simultaneously diminished and increased. How does that even happen?   Perhaps because even though I’m still editing images at an almost obsessive rate (less than ten left!), with all the Kickstarter prep and promotion out of the way, I do gratefully have a bit more head space to think about what Kristina, Kristen, and I were able to achieve. (If you missed the final announcement, we’ve reached over $70,000, with more [...]

This is it. The last week of the Kickstarter. As of writing this, we have hit $50,161, which is $20,161 OVER our minimum goal of $30,000. A sum that Kristina, Kristen, and I almost have no words for. But “thank you... sincerely” is a start. So why am I sending out this email? I’m sure you’ve gathered I’m not here just to brag about how well the Kickstarter is going, although I am absolutely delighted with where we’re at. Click here to check out the Kickstarter! $30,000, though, was just our MINIMUM to be able to package and send out the cd…. which means [...]

With the slow down in Green Rider Soundtrack updates over the Holidays, you might have assumed that Kristina and I took a nice little vacation. (Insert laughter and a quiet “I wish!”) While we did enjoy some much needed time with family and a few extra hours of sleep (at least for me!), work did not slow down. The two of us spent much of the “break”, hard at work, which can only mean one thing: we now have some exciting new updates to share with you!   First off, Kristina is finished writing the soundtrack! *Yay! Confetti streamers and [...]

Alright, Green Riders. You voted for the next photo I would be editing… and I mean you REALLY voted. (At last count, there were 114 comments! You are awesome!) While there were a large number of you that wanted to see the Eletian Tiendan next, even more of you wanted to see a Weapon…sooo...   ...your wish is my command!     Surprisingly, even though this image was shot in studio, and the castle passageways added in post, this piece was actually much easier to edit than the previous Green Rider images I’ve shared. It’s funny how that works out [...]

One of the benefits of shooting over 1600 images for the Green Rider Book Soundtrack artwork was that I had a LOT of images to choose from when it came time to create the final art pieces. One of the drawbacks, however, was that for someone who is as indecisive as I am, this also made it really difficult to decide which images to start with. Fortunately, there is a wonderful thing called Facebook, where I could ask you which image I should edit and release next. (Because yes… I even delegate decision making sometimes. And I’m not one bit [...]

Normally my blogging consistency is something I can be very proud of, as I’ve somehow managed to post something once a week for the last two years. But it has been three weeks since I last updated my blog! Needless to say, this past month has knocked me completely flat! (In a totally exhausting, but VERY wonderful way!)   And while I’m a little embarrassed that I let things slip these past few weeks, I’m much more proud of the things I have accomplished this past month. Achievement number one being that I shot about 90% of the images for [...]
