    Jay, I love your style. I think this could work as a less is more type situation. I kind of had to do a double take to take in what was going on. Maybe as if the Feducci were the only idiots to think blind-folding ones self makes someone disappear. Then everyone is unamused with their antics. Not sure, it’s cute though!









  • I was just talking about this technique last night, I kid you not. I was talking about how I like the big chunky textures it creates. I like that you scraped the front of the puffin, but kept the back relatively loud. Does a really fun thing with the eye movement in which it bounces back and forth between the puffin and the background. Revealing little bits of the guy as you bounce. Very nice!



  • I have nothing to add in the mechanical department, as those keyboards drive me insane personally.

    I just wanted to add some comments on finding a solid keyboard you love.

    • Make sure the texture(s) are right for you. Space-age material is cool, but when you hate the feel of your fancy new keyboard, it’s not a fun type.
    • Check the travel, everyone has different expectations and needs for the travel of their keyboard. The setup, and in turn the travel will honestly change your accuracy and speed when it comes to typing. You can adjust of course, but picking up a board you enjoy to type on is always better. For this, I had a sit and truly wondered what I like to press and how I like to type. I stuck a piece of paper and just pounded out on it. I saw how I held my hands, as well as where I liked to hang them and where I was hitting keys from.
    • Create a list of contenders. Analyze if you feel comfortable with their price-to-value, features, form (see above).
    • Do your research. I’ll watch videos and turn their sound off and try to watch people using the tech they’re pawning off. Asking folks helps weed out the noise machine, but I have also been burnt by trusting others over my gut. So I say a healthy mix of everything leads to a happy purchase.
    • Try to purchase from a place you can return to, just in case all else fails.

    I often think of purchases as something I am doing to help myself for an extended period of time. So that might also play into your purchase, and I would look to see what sort of support one could get in that department. Good luck, I hope you find your “dream-board!”
