Pickle

Just so we're all clear:

This is a pickle.

That is all.

The picture is from the wikipedia article on pickles. Picture is the lightly edited public domain picture from there.

Catgirl

This was some fanart I did that appeared on the Catgirl Research Foundation page. 

I've been meaning to link to them for a while. 8)

This is also my first image for the blog, and I'm still experimenting to see how this works.

*edit* - Ok.  So Blogger.com shrinks the picture down and then gives me a link.  Interesting.  

So you can click on the image to the left to get the full sized picture.

As long as I'm editing and asking questions out to the aether I'm a little confused about the whole "labels for the post" thing that appears at the bottom of the post editing page.  Are they actually useful?  Can anybody else see these?  And why do I like pickles so much, but not to eat.

Oops - added a title.

down-time Deviant Art

Well, I've got a Deviant art account set up.  There's really nothing new over there yet. But eventually I'll get everything from down-time.org moved over there and that's where all the new stuff will go.

It's at jallen327.deviantart.com.

The new blog

So I'm trying out the blogging services here at blogger.com.  I'm a little sad just plain "down-time" was taken as a title, so I had to go with "down-time manga".  All lower case just to show I'm rebellious.

My regular site, in case your arriving here from somewhere else is down-time.org.  It's a site full of vaguely manga inspired art, with a story line that has recently stalled.  Hopefully temporarily.  However, I'm still trying to post art there on a regular basis.  'though I'll probably move most of the art stuff to deviant art if I can figure out to make that site work.  I will of course post here when I have that underway.

I also have to apologize to NonCharon (sasquach) for copying his layout.  (it was one of the standard choices after all.)  I'll try and spice it up as soon as I can get myself motivated.
