Hi there, long time since I talked with you guys/girls here :)

there is already bunch of news, but I'll drop just a small portion for now as I'm just here a moment.
more info later

What an amazing place online world is. There is this new blog of Lithuanian cg artists updating it with quick and not so quick sketches almost every day now, I think regularly only few guys draw but it still rocks and is worth a post in my poor news feed :) so the deal is that every day at 22:00 Lithuanian time, we gather on skype chatroom and decide a topic for that evening, then everybody draws like a madman. Almost every day when action takes place you'll see some awesome masterpieces created. Don't hesitate and drop by at: http://noriupiesti.blogspot.com/
(Noriupiesti blog (which means I-want-to-draw) is not new actually, it's open for public for 4months now but during Christmas holidays everything have stopped but it looks that we're back on track now!! Rock on guys!)

Ouh yeah! My glorious vocation

2010-08-21T14:28:00.000+03:00

so.... at last first time this summer i get my one week of deserved vacation (well at-least i think i deserved it ^^) that's super sweet. I'm staying in Kleve, Deutchland in a about 6km from border with Netherlands (amhh i might just maybe visit Amsterdam if' I'll be feeling that way)

Kleve by itself isn't so much of exciting place, but because some of my relatives live there its a nice vacation and kinda little version of family reunion :) so anyways i have an amazing view to Schwanenburg from my balcony so maybe I'll grab some acrylics and do a painting or two later next week.

Aaah and even more good/happy news :))) -hehe I like those.

ODP is starting to get recognized by more and more bloggers and iPhone fans every day. Just yeasturday we got really nice review by Andy Boxall from iphonefreak.com you can read it overHERE. Andy, thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate it! Also we thank Laurence Borel who wrote article at laurenceborel.com! (in case you missed it you can read her article overHERE)

have you seen Bound for Glory?

2010-08-17T00:18:00.000+03:00

just came back from pub "Artistai" there was this Canadian guy singin real nice american/canadian folk style songs that reminded me of Woodie Guthrie. Do you know this artist? if not please check! his songs are really great and inspirational, there is very good film called Bound for Glory (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074235/) that you should definitely see if you're interested in period of great depression in america (hell we have this great depression just right now in baltics you might think) lol i would say, its nothing compared what people had to face back a decade ago. well some good vibes to end day :)

got to get to work before 10 a clock tomorrow so I'd better be going now

PS. the guy who performed@artistai has band (containing of one person... ahem himself) which is called Old Seed,
see his myspace page here http://www.myspace.com/oldseed
and whats for Woodie see this nice playlist on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5NJKx8ObDY&a=GxdCwVVULXeFAEK-i7PoxHaE84t9DaVQ

Atlast onair!
