Bluecubit releases Imagenest 1.2.1

http://www.bluecubit.com/downloads.html 

Its an awesome program that I now use almost daily. I found that the newest version didn't save my settings from V1.1 (page size settings, printer dialogue box things, etc.) I have contacted them regarding that and will post when I figure out what caused it. Other than that, ImageNest has been a very solid program.

They are also looking for features requests if you are a current or potential user.

The main thing I would like to see is an option to save the layouts for later, so you can prep when you are not in front of your printer. A little greater control of the cut marks wouldn't hurt either.

Definitely check out their demo if you haven't yet.

Joe WV Event at Threadless Gallery in Chicago

Joe VW has a solo gallery coming up this Friday, April 3rd 2009, at the Threadless Gallery in Chicago. If you are free you should check it out.

Hey there! I just thought I'd let you know I have my first solo art exhibit at the Threadless Store. The opening party is April 3rd from 7-9pm. If you can't make it that night it will be up the entire month. Here's a little blurb about my show

"Between the Mountains and the Volcano explores the continuously developing relationship between color and space. I use bold, contrasting colors that work in tandem with geometric shapes to create abstract visions of everyday life. From intensely colored patterns that create mountains to abstract geometric images and deconstructed digital products, my illustrations are reflections of the influences of both nature and current pop culture. My hope is to create work that is relatable to everyone and speaks light heartedly about life in the current digital age."

Nigel Evan Dennis launches ned™ site (companion to Electric Heat)

Nigel Evan Denis launched a new website selling his prints, which looks pretty amazing. I would highly recommend going and checking it out. www.NigelEvanDennis.com


Here is a quote from the official launch email:

New Site!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So if you've received this mailer, you've more than likely seen my new site. If you haven't, please go check it out @ www.nigelevandennis.com .

This new site will serve as a portal for me to create new and original works. For the last 6 years, I have done commercial work under the name Electric Heat ( www.electricheat.org ). I will continue Electric Heat but it will serve only as a commercial portfolio. I am still available for commercial work both in the styles you see on Electric Heat as well as this approach I've taken with the new site.

So like I said, feel free to browse the new site or both sites. There will be plenty of updates to www.nigelevandennis.com . Somtimes daily. Thanks.


Prints For Sale
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am doing something I've never done before - SELL MY WORK! At the new site, I've created a store section that is simple to use with PayPal. These prints are all limited edition and will be gone after their first edition. Most prints come in an edition of 100 of which will be signed and hand numbered. Get on over and check them out at www.nigelevandennis.com



On the Internet
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you guys wanna see what I'm up to on a more frequent basis, you can follow me on Twitter via username nigelevandennis . There you will see possible discounts and sales on prints and other products & pieces as well as other goings on.


Thanks Everyone!

Official Epson Statement on Refurb Printers

I installed my Refurbished Epson 3800 printer last night and I was very impressed that it came with a full set of 80 mL cartridges (not the starter set!). I ended up paying $699 out the door. Not a bad deal considering the ink + maintenance cartridge it contains would be almost $500 alone.

Here is Epson's offical statement on Refurbished Printers:

Refurbished Products: All sales are final. These are products that have been returned to Epson. They have been inspected and tested to ensure they perform properly. Some may have minor blemishes due to handling. They are available only while quantities last. Refurbished products may or may not contain a media pack or the same software package as new models. In order to provide these savings and to move final quantities, we cannot accept returns unless the product arrived damaged or defective in which case your remedy is replacement with the same model or equivalent. See Terms of Sale and Conditions.
