The Goat Farmers Art

Welcome

2015-05-21T13:24:00.000-07:00

I'd like to welcome you all to my new blog. I have recently discovered Photo Shop and have been spending a lot of time playing around making new wallpapers, and various other sundry items.

In an effort not to clog up my regular blog too much I decided to create a seperate space for all my art.

“Advertisement” from the old dGeek

2010-06-30T23:36:00.000-07:00

I was going through my files the other day when I found an ‘advertisement’ I posted after my ‘trial’ at the old dGeek site. So I thought I should post it somewhere for the squirrels to giggle at.

The New “Seasonal” SFN Banners

2009-10-28T15:13:00.000-07:00

I was playing around with some new banners with a “seasonal” theme for the Squirrel Fiction Network the other night and thought I’d share them here.

The Bunnies made me do it

2009-10-28T15:05:00.000-07:00

Okay so the other day I was in Photoshop working on some ‘seasonal’ banners for SFN’s header. While I was wandering around I couldn’t help but notice an odd background.

With bunnies.

Which sparked a couple of ideas.

A is for Atlantis

2009-10-02T13:41:00.000-07:00

So over the summer Nikki and I got to chatting about what would happen if Rodney were to write a children’s book for Torren about the alphabet. Since it isn’t strictly Squirrel Fiction I’m posting it here. We do hope you enjoy it! You can find the full text version of the story HERE at Nikki's blog.

My First Try at Icons

2009-06-26T13:56:00.000-07:00

Recently Amanda requested that I try and make her some McShep Icons and I graciously agreed to try my hand at them. This is my very first try and I have a feeling I made it overly complicated.

Never posted Cards

2009-06-05T22:53:00.000-07:00

Realized I had never gotten around to posting the Squirrel Christmas Card I sent out in December.

Also found another David card lurking in my hard drive:

More PAS

2009-06-05T22:50:00.000-07:00

Well another round of Post-A-Squirrel has come and gone, and I once again wandered out of my comfort zone. This time it was in the form of a McShep card for my dear friend A_J.

Icons and Photo editing

2009-05-31T10:47:00.000-07:00

As much as I swore I would never do it, I made some icons for a friend upon request. (Though I won’t be making more until I have to. They are like photoshop crack)

Icons:

I also have been playing with some photos that I took in various forms. Though the only one I really want to share right now is the following.

Squirrel Force One

2009-05-31T10:41:00.000-07:00

After a recent discussion on the dGeek forums I decided to make some ‘fun’ squirrel art. (The discussion was what we would do with our own plane).

(Not my photo of AF1)

Some more sig Banners and art

2009-03-04T14:53:00.000-08:00

I was weeding through my files tracking down all my art and relocating it into one file and stumbled upon some art and banners I hadn’t shared.

David Burbank Banner:

Kavan’s character from Blade(Alex the Vampire), all wrapped up for the girls over on the Thunk Thread at Gateworld(and let me just say it was *very* difficult to get this one perfect):

A “Coming Soon” banner(for when I’m working on banners/art for someone):

Another few sigs

2009-02-23T18:51:00.001-08:00

I was working again this last week/weekend on sigs for dGeek’ers including AL and Scary!

Animallover’s sig:

Scary’s sig:

Some new sigs for dGeek

2009-02-18T01:04:00.000-08:00

So I recently went on a sig making spree for some friends over on the dGeek forums.

For Bar:

For Bar’s Blog:

For Jayne:

For Squirrels for World Domination:

Some recent art

2009-02-14T01:42:00.000-08:00

Just an odd collection of art I’ve made recently:

Happenings Title Art:

Letter’s Home Title Art:

Tiffy’s Valentine:

My Current Obesession (don’t ask)

I also have a current WIP:

I think this may turn into an Icon, or possibly some title art, I’m not sure yet.

New Sig Banners

2008-12-02T14:18:00.000-08:00

Just a couple of signatures I threw together the other night.

Original: (for me)

For Andrew:

Squirrel Fiction is now live

2008-11-17T23:28:00.000-08:00

Just a quick blurb to tell you that the new home of Squirrel Fiction which features my art, and writing is now up and fully operational.

Mirth's super secret prize wall

2008-11-05T09:32:00.000-08:00

So I recently posted some new fiction over on Nikki's blog, and included a fun but super secret contest that my good friend Mirth won. (Sorry Barcardi!)

I made her a special shiny wallpaper just for her efforts.

For the Evil Emperor Barcardicider

2008-10-29T13:45:00.000-07:00

I have been involved in a project over on the Dgeek Forums called "Post A Squirrel" where we have been sending snail mail to various forum members.

For this round I was given one of my FAVORITE squirrels Barcardicider.

She is a totally awesome British squirrel who has had the honor to meet the squirrel king this last June(2008). She'd posted some pictures from the visit and I took the liberty of kidnapping them and turning them into her PAS project.

The squirrel in the upper left hand corner is a nod to the forum, and the duck in the upper right a nod to the movie.

A couple more Banners

2008-10-21T12:42:00.000-07:00

These are a couple of recent mockups I made for the Squirrel Fiction Network that will be becoming the new home for all of the Squirrel Fiction that is currently housed over on Nikki's Blog.

The "Losers"

The "Winner":

or in the current incarnation as it appears on the website:

Some other misc. Stuff I made while working on this:

Another "Dragon Wings" Piece

2008-10-08T19:35:00.000-07:00

To go with the one I posted earlier- Nikki requested some changes, and I made them to the best of my ability.

Make sure you click on it to see it a bit larger to see the detail work.

Some new art

2008-10-08T15:27:00.000-07:00

I recently started working on some art for my good friend Nikki's blog.

We write a lot of Squirrel Fic, and she recently approached me with an idea that it might be cool to make art for the stories that we have on the blog.

She has a series she is writing called "Dragon Wings and Puddle Jumpers" and I had been putting it off as I had no real idea how to approach the project.

Then a few days ago my muse hit the jackpot and came up with this:

the original picture I used to get the Dragon was Nikki's own work:

I cleaned it up and darkened it a lot and then added it to some screen caps:

A couple of new Icons

2008-09-08T22:09:00.000-07:00

So the other day I sat down and started designing 'icons' for the fan fiction over on Nikki's blog.

For Trish and the Wraith Enzyme:

For The Jumper Series:

I'm With Genius

2008-07-19T12:45:00.000-07:00

A friend recently asked me to make them several Rodney McKay walls. She provided pictures, and explained what she wanted, so its not in my usual 'artsy' style.

Soon I will be doing something with the "Sunday" caps that are in these walls, as I rather like them.

A couple of new banners

2008-07-19T12:40:00.000-07:00

I recently made a couple of small banners.

One was a 'pre-season' one as I got tired of everyone feeding me spoilers. Its' 800x200 pixels with a 300 pixel resolution.

The second is my 'current' banner, for Season 5. It is spoiler free, unless you don't know that they are in Atlantis. It measures in at 400x200 pixels with a 300 pixel resolution.
