 Welcome to the New Home of Dextive's Blog!

Introduction

Greetings! My name is Echo Dextive! I am a cartoonist. Which means I am an illustrator, a storyteller, and all those other hats that cartoonists wear. I am the creator of the webcomic Our Home; Eternal, with one chapter out, but on hiatus due to current life circumstances.

If you haven't heard of me before, then welcome!

About this Blog

This blog is meant to be an evolution of my previous blog Dextive Blog. For the people who knew me from there, it will remain up as an archive and a dumping ground for anything I wish to write about, but wouldn't fit here. However, I decided to start this blog for a few reasons:
  • I'm no longer in the same place in life as I was while writing Dextive Blog
  • I wanted to make a blog that is a little more focused than Dextive Blog ended up being
So, I narrowed this blog down to a few things. They are all related to art, rather than branching out to my various hobbies and passions:
  • Reviews (tools, books, etc)
  • Happenings/events I attend (Currently will be in the Twin Cities area of MN)
  • Poetry and stories
  • Image showcase (Both illustration and photography)
  • Diary entry-like posts documenting and sharing my own journey as an artist
  • Final misc point in case I get more ideas on art-related things to share to the world
My goal is to create a more polished and focused experience that will be more efficient in growing my career as an artist and lead to interesting opportunities.

Conclusion

I look forward to writing again, and I hope that everything I have to say will have value to whoever is reading this. Speaking of reading, don't forget to check out chapter 1 of my comic when you have the time. I look forward to continuing it once I have the chance.

If the first chapter hooks you, then please save it!

Loop Switch 2 - A Review from an Artist's Perspective

Loop Switch 2 - A Review from an Artist's Perspective  My hometown was off the tour circuit for many musicians and performers. While this did change recently, the nearest concerts to me were typically two hours away, and I had a family who were not willing to take me that far for...any reason at all. So, being on the tour circuit and finally getting access to concerts was one of the many things that I looked forward to when moving to Minneapolis. After all, experiences are the kind of thing that I value, far more than objects. Well, in anticipation of seeing a metal band where the timing lined up just right under a very busy schedule, I knew that I was coming into a genre that is known to be especially loud at live events. So, I got some Loop Earplugs. Specifically, the Switch2 model. I soon found out that they are viral on the internet and influencers are pushing this brand. So, I may as well be a little shrewd and write about them. So, here are my unbiased, non-sponsored thoughts...
