It was a night filled with work, mostly like every other night. I was sitting and doing my regular sharing / posting on twitter. All of a sudden my updates weren’t refreshing, I couldn’t navigate backwards or forward, I couldn’t click any links either. So the good old F5 (Command + R on the beloved MAC) had to come to the rescue.

What appeared infront of my eyes next was nothing less than mindblowing. At first I though I had been forwarded to a different website, but after a scouple of seconds I realized I had just witnessed a massive Twitter upgrade. Not only did they run this massive UI upgrade on their website, they also upgraded the apps for Android and iPhone users.

I have nothing special on the menu today, so I wanted to talk a little about speed painting. For those of you who don’t know what speed painting is all about I have posted a little explanation further down. If you want to master the art of speed painting you have to practice for years, by hand on paper and infront of the computer.

Speed Painting demands a lot of  patience and a lot of artsy skills. A lot of beginners think they will master this artform in a matter of weeks or months. Unfortunately that’s not the case. There is a reason why digital artists get paid big bucks for their projects :)

A lot of people have been emailing me about the Fabnomena.com design I’m using. I don’t know why the design is causing such a stir, but I think it’s time to share the secret.  The design is made by me and only me :) I spent a couple of weeks redesigning my entire site and this is the end result. You will notice small changes here and there in the future, but I’m pretty happy with the outcome so I’ll keep it that way for now .

I’ve got some other projects up my sleeve that I’m sure you’ll LOVE and I can’t wait to share them with you but I have to finish the projects before I give you the details ;) Meanwhile, why don’t you head over to Dreamlevel Studios, my other website where I share some of my design & multimedia related work. The DL site also has a blog @ Dreamlevel Studios Blog. And in case you ever wondered why I’m so busy, well now you know ;)
