Hey there dA, sup? Life loves throwing me curve balls. I've been getting back into my visual art lately as my latest submissions can prove. I'm feeling like I can ride this wave for a while; it feels good to be making things again. So if anyone out there is still following me, please stay tuned.

My current goals include consistently creating new pieces, brainstorming new ideas, increasing my "popularity" here, and redoing older pieces for print sales. I will be resubmitting the redone pieces as I complete them. If anyone has a special request, just let me know. I'm hoping joining and particpating in some clubs will get me more exposure. I feel like I have some bit of talent, but it doesn't matter because no one else knows or sees. So imma fix that.

Peace.

Hey guys. So things picked up for me. And of course had to blow up again, but I've become quite the survivalist and escape artist by now, so all seems well.

College will be coming to a close for me soon, I only have one semester left. Right now I'm working on my undergrad research project to get me into grad school for genomic, biomedical research for free. That's going pretty great, and it looks like I'll be off to grad school within the next year or two. However, I need some cash to help pay for next semester. That's where you guys come in! By my prints, commission me, whatever, just allow me to make art for you!

On a side note, I really need a new double bass pedal for my drums, so some small cash would help me out on that front as well. School is important, but so is music.


Peace.

and then you die. and then some stupid asshat uses a phoenix down on you so you can just die again even harder.

lather, rinse, repeat, and that's the gist of my life. i recently got  kicked out of college for overblown, fallacious charges posed by a very disturbed ex of mine who took advantage of the fact that one of my parents had just died. my college poisoned me with mold while that was happening and i have tons of medical bills to pay which i can't afford and my lawyer tells me he can't take a case against the school. i was homeless for a few weeks after being kicked out of school, but that was actually kind of fun. in addition to that, i am being forced into seeing a psychiatrist and taking pills i don't need and having mental meltdowns as a "side effect" of the poison that's supposed to fix me. also my cat/best friend just ran away. and i have no job and thousands of dollars of student loans to pay back.

i wish i was making all of that stuff up, but i'm not. a trainwreck just vomited all over me.

what does all of this mean? it mean's i'm poor as hell and survive off of commissions. and that i am a very sad person right now. help a fellow artist stay alive and commission me, even if it's only for 5 dollars, every little bit helps. as any of my past clients can testify, i work very closely with the person requesting the drawing and make sure it fits exactly what they envision. i just posted a pokemon commission i just finished, so if it looks like something that could fit your standards, hit me up. check out my gallery, whatever floats your boat floats my boat.

much thanks to any who read this and consider helping me out!

So I figured it's time for another journal, I periodically and randomly decide to update these things.

Sooooo, lately I've been trying my hand at stencil design and tagging things. Soon I will upload some of my stencil prints, I guess you can call them. They are pretty awesome and a total blast to design and work on. I'm contemplating T-shirt design since using a stencil is an efficient way of doing things. In addition, as soon as I can get hold of a scanner, I have some pretty neat new traditional drawings to upload. This semester has been a little easier work-wise, so I've been savoring having time to make art again. Next semester I will not be so lucky...

As usual, I will make a half-assed attempt at trying to get commissions. Pleaseeeee, recommend me to your friends, whore me out, I suck at doing it myself. I need money desperately and will work super cheap with high quality works in return! How can you lose? So yeah, help a fellow artist out...

I guess I should also start taking a look at Otakon cosplay groups since my Silent Hill nurse costume is almost done. When I finish that up I will post some pics. I'm pretty proud since it's my first time executing a cosplay. Nurse masks are so fun to make, haha. If anyone perchance would like a tutorial, let me know.  

Hmm, I'm not sure I have much else to say right now. Besides the fact that I can't wait for summer to get here. And I have become hopelessly addicted to the new pokemon, even though they can never replace or outdo the original 151.

hello hello, all! i figured it was time for a lovely little update. i'm back from college so my work load has decreased significantly. well, partially significantly. which means... more art! i have several scans to ink and upload sometime soon. and lady gaga has lit a fire in my soul, so lady gaga fanarts shall abound. perhaps. also, my dA ID is horribly outdated, i must make a new one soon. ugh. maybe something pokemon related since i've been on the biggest heart gold kick ever.

as i have said, i'm now doing commissions, so if my art interests you, feel free to ask and we can work a cheap deal. as stated in my last journal, i'm cheap and guaranteed to provide lasting, prolonged pleasure! i need monies to buy a new tablet, my current one is crapping out and has grown pretty flaky.  

what else news... oh yes, otakon! so i have decided to go. yayyyy. i don't know if any of my friends on dA are going, but it would be neat to see 'em. this will be my first con, oh the memories i will makeeeee. i'm not into anime too much, but jeez i love me some final fantasy and kingdom hearts. and praise the mighty kojima.

the rest of life is surprisingly going well. i have a much brighter outlook on things since my college epiphany. i've joined a gym and work out 3-4 times a day and i eat healthy now too ( no soda in a month! this was hard for a soda-fiend like me). it's pretty sweet, you all should try it, you'll feel alot better and happier. yayyyyy happy sunshine and bubbles.   

i suppose this is all for this journal - oh, i just want to add that i watched coraline for the first time about a month ago. i have watched it every day since then, sometimes twice a day, its absolutely fantastic. blang kuhrang farklegub tofurkey. that is all.
