wow, it has been quite a while since i updated. september. wow. a lot has happened since then.
i am currently undergoing finals, so i've been stressed out.
i've hardly done ANY artwork in several months.
i got my license AND a fantastic dark green 2001 nissan altima.
i fell in love. lol. wow, last update i was single. his name is tony. he's amazing. <3
my beloved dog, micaiah, passed away this january. he was 9 years old and passed of a spinal tumor.
i will be doing two memorial projects for him.
memorial project #1 is to digitally colorize a sketch i did of him about a year ago. any hints, tips, or tutorials would be greatly appreciated to help me in making the most perfect image of my beloved little boy.
memorial project #2 is to make a pastel (or mixed media) portrait of him using the same portrait. i have it sketched and am working on base colors right now. again, hints, tips, and tutorials are GREATLY appreciated.
i have some mixed feelings. some good from tony and my insane love for him, but a lot of sorrow. i miss my sweet little boy. it tears another piece off my heart to come home and not hear him bark or have his waggling butt greet me at the door. nobody licks my knees when i walk in anymore. no more soft crunching in the background as i eat dinner. it hurts. i miss him more than most can imagine. he was my little brother. my baby boy. now he's gone and i am lost.

i know, i'm doing one of these. i might as well. i'm bored. let's just find out how mental i am...

so i was just thinking about putting some of my photography up for prints, but then i thought "who would want it, it would take a bunch of space here, and it would be a huge hassle." on top of that, i have no idea how this whole print thing works. so, i have decided that i will make a second deviantart account for such prints and... well, stuff. art and photography prints will become available not that anyone would buy them. i'll put the link to the other da account later.
speaking of websites, i finished my website. woo. it has all my stuff on it and i liked doing the picture, so yeah.

ps: the pic took forever to decide on since i was making the layout from my own photography.

yeah, i'm due for a new entry...
been hanging out with friends lately. and doing school work.
watched dead space.
i have to pee. >_>
sarah [peecian] is reading me a story.
as you can see i did some warm-up graphic design.
getting warmed up for the project i'm working on.
my friend layed_to_rest [from yahoo messenger] has teamed up with me and peecian to make a techno album.
peecian is doing the singing.
i am doing the graphic design.
and he is doing the music. he's really good.
here is his myspace: www.myspace.com/theforgottenab…

...through the pain and suffering of others.
i like aslan.
maybe that has something to do with the kitty over there <<--
i was thinking of next drawing being of a snarling wolf.
not sure if it will be in color or not yet.
you know, i know nobody reads this.
so why do i bother?
i dunno.
sarah thinks it would be cool to be friends with a talking lion that resembles God.
that would be cool.
