Unlike other cars’ E.P.A. estimated mileage, the Toyota Prius actually delivers on its claim of 50 miles per gallon. I just bought one, and I was amazed to discover that I could get as much as 70 miles per gallon depending on where I was going and what the road conditions were. Yes, it was expensive, but my car payment will be fixed, whereas the price of gas is only going up. I’ve only had the car two weeks, and I’m already noticing a difference in my bottom line.
I’ve been keeping track of how many miles per tankful of gas I’m using, and it’s coming out to an amazing 600 miles for each 12 gallons of gas I buy! What a relief – my last car was a performance car, and though it could get 34 MPG on the highway if you were careful, it typically got 15 miles to the gallon in rush hour traffic. That makes my Prius about three and a half times more fuel efficient than my last car. That’s a huge difference.

I do both digital and “real world” painting, and the occasional mashup for fun:

This was a commission for Second Geekhood. We did a photo shoot so I’d have good reference material, then I did this painting based on those. It took an evening to do the photo shoot, and another four days to do the painting. There are problems with it, but I’m probably the only one outside of a more skilled illustrator that can see them.

Painted for a friend, Jim Davis (no, not the creator of Garfield) for his 50th birthday. Acrylic on canvas – it was the first time I’d tried to paint anyone’s likeness in perhaps 30 years, so I’m not as happy with it as I’ve been with other things I’ve done. He loved it, though.

Painted as a birthday present for another friend, Susan Fox. Acrylic on canvas, 11″x14″.

More speed painting. Done actual size in the Gimp, about 15 minutes work.

A note about myself – I’m a professional writer, artist and animator, and now, an author. My first book is called Juniper Fairchild and the Alterwhere, and it’s a fantasy novel.
I’m also the creator and station manager of the world’s foremost science fiction radio station, SCIFI.radio. It’s the greatest work of my lifetime so far, and I hope you go give it a listen.
