Man it's been a while since I updated this thing.. lol

So yeah... Some awesome news for my ego:
I ranked top 5 in Florida for a Trading Pin design for SkillsUSA. So that's pretty awesome... Or atleast I think so. I'm going to try to get all my designs back from my teacher by the end of the year so I can scan them into the computer and share them with ya'll. (That's right, I said ya'll, get the Hell over it)

On top of all that, I'm currently working on textures in class (epic fail by the way). We have to render 11 textures, I've got 2 down so far, so you can look forward to some good quality pencil textures(i hope).

Mmk, I think that's all for now, so peace-ness!

So... 's contest closed last night... Both my entries are in, but so far I have had no one suggest that mine are any good, so I am slightly bummed about that... Oh well, it's the first DA contest I had ever really tried, so I guess I shouldn't bitch about it. Wish I had some better inspiration and some copic markers...

Speaking of Copic markers... If ANYONE knows a site that I can find a good deal on markers (specifically Copic or Prismacolor) please tell me >.< I am in desperate need of some art supply makeovers... In the sence that I need to upgrade from Michaels brand markers and move on to bigger badder things. I just spent the last 1 and a half hours watching marker tutorials on Youtube and let's just say, I'm inspired, but lack the funds to fulfill any dreams at the moment.

Anyways... Hopefully someone can point me in an affordable direction sometime soon. Till then, expect some Prismacolor color pencil drawings in the near future... Also, if anyone has an OC that they'd like to see me draw, I'll do it for free just for the Hell of it... First 5 comments get a drawing of any OC your choice.(has to be yours obviously)

Sooo...

I just entered my first submission into 's Seven Deadly Sins Contest, which, if you haven't checked it out, you should... And tell her that my submission is the shit please. Here's the link to my entry if you just wanna see that... [link]

On top of all that, this contest got my creative juices flowing... So I plan on drawing a big picture with all seven sins in it, each one will "hopefully" be obviously distinguishable. Not to mention, I thought of an amazing fan art to draw today while doing laundry! (weird, right?) All I will reveal for now is that it's from the anime Air Gear... I will not disclose any further info till it's submitted! >.< bwahahahaaa!!!!

Ok, I think that's all for now... And btw... Does anyone even read the shit that I put up for a journal post? I almost NEVER get any comments, which kinda really blows if I'm typing all this and no one is even paying attention... And if by chance, you're awesome, and pay attention to my journals, thanks a million and I love ya! ^_^

I'm sorta bummed about my hamster... Her name is Pasta, and she had some 2 babies about 6 days ago... The first one died 3 days later, and the 2nd one died about a day and a half ago... It's sad becasue I could see they were gonna be black bear hamsters, just like their mommy... I know it's typical for the first litter to not make it, but its still pretty sad to me...

On another note, I'm working again! I'm working at Lifetouch Portrait studios, and thats keeping me on my toes with my photography... Then there is school, and thats also very demanding, but i really enjoy it. Right now i'm making my thumbnails for a stationairy set (business card, letter head, and envelopes) It's exciting to see my ideas coming together, and soon i'll be putting them on the computer in Illustrator and InDesign CS3 and making them look even better.. I'll post them when I'm finished of course. ^^ I'm also working on a tattoo idea... I think it's gonna be an amazing tattoo once i get the idea from my head and onto paper.. I'll post that as well...

Well, thats about it for the moment... and omg i'm almost at 2000 page views.. That's pretty kick ass ! ^^
