So finals ended Wednesday, so I'm shipping up to Boston on Monday, leaving the insanity of this last semester behind. I didn't create any art worth speaking of, but I do have a huge pile of notes with scribbled doodles on them that I might make a collage out of for your amusement. Hopefully this summer will be more conducive to art-making. I'll try to get a full-time job for the four months I'm home. Right now I'm just so emotionally and physically tired that I just want to rest for a lil while. I hate packing and moving, it's so stressful. And leaving all my friends just when we're all freed from the bondage of school. Four months is simultaneously a short and a long time to be away. I'm just happy I can see my family again. I love them so much, and I laugh so hard when we're together.

See you in 2,300 miles!

Hello all my loverly Devious friends!

About two months into my summer home in Boston. I'm itching to go back to Utah, to the big open sky, the mountains reaching towards the sky, the nice warm, dry climate (though as of late I've heard it's been rather wet), and the amazing people who live there. Part of my yearning to return is my joblessness, and resulting aimlessness. *sigh* Still looking for a job, as are so many others. I'm considering opening up for commissions to get a little bit of cashflow, soooo *waggles eyebrows* Do let me know if you'd like to commish, and we will bargain on the price!

In other news, I've been taking private and group ballroom lessons at Boston Ballroom Dance Center with Peter Kovacs and Marisa Panos to prepare for the BYU Ballroom Team audition in the fall. I had my first competition at the Yankee Classic in Cambridge. I competed in Bronze International Cha Cha and Rumba, and I placed First in all four of my dances! I'm so excited! Now I have two more months of Standard technique to prepare for the waltz and american cha cha.

A few artistic updates. My dad got me some BEAUTIFUL ink pens, and I'm really nervous to try them out. You can see his work in his gallery - it's flipping amazing. I'm working on my pen-and-ink technique, and should have some cougars up pretty soon. Yes, cougars. What else would I draw, coming from BYU?

I'm also going to start a collaboration with my dear friend . He just bought a GORGEOUS new camera, and we're planning some awesome shots with him and his basses. Plus some. Can you believe he's letting me even get close to the shiny new camera? O_o

I PROMISE I will finish the quetzalcoatl soon! And I am planning a fun stargazing/astronomy/starry oil painting series. And I need to work on my manga-style drawing technique. Because honestly, I can't draw japanese for beans. And all those doodles I told you about? Coming soon.

Thank you all for your support and faves and comments! *hugs for everyone!*

Hey everyone! I'm back home in Boston with my fambly. This also means I have current control of the drawing tablet. Mwahaha. I'll be here for about 4 months. I miss Utah a lot - the big open sky, the friends I've made, the people, the atmosphere, BYU, it's quite a lot. I'll be pretty busy this summer though. I have several oil paintings planned. They'll be a surprise Also! I have two pieces of artwork that I haven't uploaded yet, but I left them in Utah D: Sad day. You'll just have to wait four months. I also have a plethora of doodles to upload to scraps. They're fun and cute - mostly cats, tigers, and Coraline fanart.

CORALINE WAS AMAZING I SAW IT THREE TIMES. I SOOOO want the DVD when it comes out. It is an incredible masterpiece of technical wonders and mind boggling artistry. The music is amazing - a Hungarian children's choir singing French nonsense, plus a little They Might Be Giants XD The story is a perfect blend of creepy and fantasy. There is a certain morbid, ironic humor that seemed totally perfect for the movie. That's what you get with a Neil Gaiman story

I'll be here all summer! <3

For those of you who know me in real life, I am quite well known in my friend circle for my long, long hair. It's always been long, ever since I was a kid. I've never had more than 3 inches trimmed. Yesterday, I decided to be a rebellious ol' college student. I let my independence get to me, and I had a whole 10 inches chopped off! HAHA! As such, many of my friends from home are going to kill me. *sigh* It's fun though! A lot easier to take care of.
Schoolwork is driving me into the ground, which explains the lack of traditional work updates. I have more photography, but I'd like to edit them sometime. I've been doodling here and there with charcoal and such, which is a nice stress reliever. I have a few commissions lined up, screaming to be put on paper, as well as a few Christmas gift drawings. Let's see if I get to any of them! 8D
I'm going insaaaane! Wheeee!!

Cheers.

Summer is buzy, in a lazy kind of way. A few things I'd like to do artwise:
- research graphics tablets and actually get one!
- practice with said tablet on Photoshop CS
- practice my lineart
- finish Quetzalcoatl and stop procrastinating
- upload some photographs I think are pretty and/or artsy

If you have a tablet, would you please tell me what you like and dislike about it and what I should be looking for in a tablet? I would really appreciate it!
