A Unicorn, Some Anime, & Purple

Journal Entry: Wed May 14, 2008, 4:45 AM


Is Uniek Swain a Unicorn?

This dude, Uniek Swain, has been quoted all over the net; he's even quoted in dA's news, but I can't seem to find him on Google. Oh yes, I've Googled, and there are tons of quotes by Uniek Swain (like the one at the bottom of this journal entry), but I can't seem to find a biography about him. He's not even mentioned on Wikipedia, yet he's quoted at a number of websites when I search for "Uniek Swain" online.
Uniek Swain: Actual person or figment of our collective imagination? It's like searching for a unicorn, but unicorns are easier to find.

Attack of the Anime Auctions!!

I'm still offering eBay auctions to help pay for some medical bills.
There are a bunch more anime auctions this week like The Heroic Legend of Arslan and Escaflowne box sets, a Tenchi Muyo! ultimate edition collection, The Hakkenden: The Legend of the Dog Warriors and other anime DVDs.
I'm also selling this brand new torque wrench. Here's pack of 4x6 Inkjet photo paper for anyone that's interested this week. Other items have been added as well.
Thanks to everybody that has taken advantage of my auctions or my deviantART print shop. Every little bit helps a lot! I hope you're happy with your merchandise.


FEATURED ARTIST

Each time I update my journal I like to feature an artist that has used my stock in their art. This week's featured artist is...


~MellissaAF is a Canadian dAmn Addict and artist. Though there are some photo manipulations in her gallery, the part of her work that most intrigues me is her talent for digital painting and air brushing. I don't often get the pleasure of seeing my stock used in this medium, so it's a delight for me to feature her as an artist that used one of my resources. (Even if it's only been once.) Please visit her page; she's totally under-rated, and her skills demand more attention. Go see for yourself!

QUOTE to PONDER

"All the other colors are just colors, but purple seems to have a soul. Purple is not just a noun and an adjective but also a verb - when you look at it, it's looking back at you."

- Uniek Swain (????-????)

Lemons are a pretty sour fruit. Open them, squeeze them into a pitcher, add cold water & sugar. And, viola you have lemonade. A cool refreshing drink.
