Hey, just wanted to let watchers know that I am still around.
Since my father passed I've been doing more writing than art.
I am working on one book in specific and I am getting up
around the 200 page zone with Times New Roman size
14 font. I know the norm is size 12 but it's just easier to read
while I type

I am feeling the itch to draw so I think something will get
submitted sooon-ish.

I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who has
commented on my art, watched me, or fav'd my work
recently. However, I can't be on DA as much as usual
and here is why.

My father passed away and I need time to cope and
settle with myself and my inner peace.

Hope to be back soon and again, thanks for stopping
by.

Went to see the new X-Men movie. I felt it was really good. The
characters and their abilities in development, to me, was almost
better than the previous movies. Either way, it was great and I
enjoyed myself.

I am trying to finish up projects but I am getting sidetracked by
writing and drawing random stuff that pops in my head. I need
to focus better.

On another movie side note, I watched Priest, Hanna, and Your
Highness. Priest was one of those one line at a time movies, each
line was 'pause-punchline-and GO GO GO' but I love vampires and
macabre so it was a 7/10. Hanna set up a great story with awesome
action but by the end I was left questioning and rationalizing the
reasoning. Felt there should have been some stronger purpose.
Your Highness was really cheesy. I typically watch movies with an
open mind and end up liking many movies that every one else
tends to hate. Your highness.... felt like an blunt comedy that was
trying very hard to make stupid burnout humor actually funny. Lots
of actors I like in it, but ended up not really enjoying the movie as
a whole. Typical storyline, bad acting (because the characters
were very cheesy), and a flat predictable ending. I feel sad that
film modern satires and comedies completely fail to repeat the
success of movies like 'Robin Hood: Men in Tights' or 'Airplane'
yet they are trying to do the exact same thing. Maybe it was
actors like Leslie Neilson who managed to deliver ridiculous
lines with a stone face that made those movies ridiculously
funny. Todays movies seem to rely more on the already hugely
famous actors to make it a box office hit instead of actually
writing witty dialogue.

/SIGH - sorry, that turned in to a bit of a rant.

Since Rango was so successful with our son we brought him to
3D Thor last night (which was about 5 hours ago ) I have to say
his reaction was awesome. I spent half the movie watching him.
It was my first time at a 3D movie as well and I have to say I was
impressed even though I probably missed some scenes because
I was watching Attis most of the time haha. He kept trying to adjust
the glasses on his face but amazingly he kept them on through the
whole movie!! Quite a feat for a 3 yr old!

I will admit I was a 3D newb. My eyes hurt a bit for the first part of
the movie. And during the Captain America trailer he throws his
shield and it really felt like it was coming at me which caught me
off guard and I flinched. YES I FLINCHED... gawsh! haha

The whole thing was very cool and Thor was amazing in 3D!

Also, don't forget that I am offering free commissions, so feel free
to make a request by note

I've spent a bit of time today cleaning up my profile page. I pretty
much redefined it's purpose and streamlined it. I also changed my
journal again because the width of the other one just didn't seem
to fit in with my page, too thin. So, as of right this moment, I am
extremely happy with my page.

On a side note, I hope to work on a couple more portraits this
weekend. I am starting to actually look forward to improving my
skill. Right now I wish I could really get more feedback. I've
joined some groups, been submitting art and poetry to them
when I can, as well as adding others art to the groups. Doing
that has boosted the amount of people I watch and that watch me
by maybe 100 deviants.

Current: Working on more portraits and random
drawings. I have the itch to do a photomanip
so that might be coming soon.

My husband and I took our son to his first movie in
the theater. I am a bit disappointed because he was
really tired and fell asleep about 30 mins in. But we
could tell that he did love it. The movie was Rango!
I didn't expect the movie to actually be good but
I don't think I've ever laughed more at a movie
directed towards kids! My son had this wide eyed
look at the start. He was a bit overwhelmed by the
noise at first and the lights going out but he didn't
get upset. About 10 mins in he was smiling SO
big. Overall, I consider it a success for a 3 year
old to sit still that long. Might do it again real soon

   Just spent about 1 1/2 hours cleaning my oven.
Let me just say this, husband and I have lived here
about 4 years and we've never cleaned INSIDE the
oven. Yes... let the gagging noises ensue. For the
record I haven't EVER cleaned the inside of an
oven and I knew it was getting kind of a mess inside
but I swear... I will never ever let the inside of the
get that gross again! We keep the apt fairly clean
especially since there have been a couple bed bug
reports in our building which is pretty big. Sooo...
Yea, husband gets to clean the oven next. The
good part is that the 'Easy Off' oven cleaner I
picked said no fumes on the bottle and it was pretty
damn fumeless. I still could smell chemicals but I
didn't get lightheaded until I was ACTUALLY
cleaning the inside of the oven which was the
least time consuming part of the ordeal.

    So, lesson learned... now that I am an adult...
I have to do things my mom isn't here to do
/boohoo -- jkjk. No srsly... GROSS!

   Anywhooo, going to spend some time with my
mini sketchbook and hopefully be uploading some
of my mini drawings <333________________________

  It's finally finished!!!! At least for now until
I nitpick some more.

   After about a week of lots of reading,
irritation, etc I finally got my journal
set up exactly how I want it. This is my first
official post to test it out and see how it
looks.
   I wanted to keep a Featured section
as well as have other useful links and
info on my journal page. Definitely
going to share this and make it
available to install.
  Overall, I think I did well considering
I dove into journal css without previous
knowledge of how it works. So, if you
install this and look at my CSS *cringe*
I AM SO SORRY, it's very sloppy and
not ordered very nicely D:
But I hope you like it!

So no one is taking advantage of my free
commissions Oh well. People are still
welcome to ask. For now I will be working
on anatomy, finishing old projects (cringes)
and uploading some drawings.

My birthday is the 25th... but am tight on
money like usual, but even more so, so either
limited or no new art supplies.

I had a great idea the other day... something
to work on for my mom.

And I'm spent.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to say hi and thanks to all the people watching. I wanted to take a moment (based on a few comments and notes I've received lately) to point out a few things to my watchers. First, I am self taught in Photoshop and am learning Illustrator, soon to be working in Coral. I am not in college, though I hope to minor in writing and major in art someday. So, please keep that in mind when browsing my gallery.

Still thinking up a new journal CSS design. Working on some drawings.

My birthday is the 25th of april, I am excited! Hopefully we have a little extra cash... I am going to be recycling a desk we have that we've tried to throw out multiple times yet it never seems to make it to the dumpster. What am I recycling this into? A DRAWING DESK! I might upload my sketches. My husband seems excited to build it with me, I think it will be pretty easy.

Will probably be uploading/working on some more projects, a personal goal was to work on my detailing in my drawings, adding a more personal feel to the image, depth.

<33

Hello all!
   Yes, yes, it's been about two years since I edited my journal. Unfortunately I was broke and couldn't sub. Updating my journal would have reset my css to default devart journal settings and my lovely pink css would be /sadface! That being said - I have been adding art to my gallery regardless and updating other areas I can update. I added a points donation area in case anyone is feeling generous, any points I get I will invest in subscription. On the off chance that I do manage to scrape together enough to sub for a year I will donate any points I get to other artists in a similar situation.

   I am currently torn between my art and writing. Some of my art might come accompanied with scenes, characters, brief paragraphs describing scenes... This is due to a couple books I am writing. They are pretty much in full swing at the moment.

   Lastly, I will work on my journal css, try and give it a new look. Also will update this more often, get back to featuring my favorite artists and update my personal fav pieces of work.

Thanks for watching, sorry if I haven't thanked/responded to your comments/favs! I do my best to answer as many as I can... in the end it really comes down to how long it's been since I signed in last!

<333 so happy to be subbed again!

It's a new month, so it's going to be time soon for a new artist feature (see last months in the scroll section below where all previous journal entries are).

I am excited to be doing a new feature, since I am now watching even more talented artists. So keep your eyes peeled!

ALso don't forget I am openly offering commissions, note me for whatever you need a commission for, I have done a wide variety of things, website buttons, banners, cd covers, logos, character sketches and line art, image retouching and airbrushing, tattoo designs, journal css, and more.

Just let me know, I work for cheap and any work I do can be freely used by you and displayed in any way you want as long as design and image credits are shown at all times with the image.

Note me!
