Well, after a very long hiatus (over a year) I'm starting to come back to here. I had well over 1,000 deviants on my list, and over 500 journal entries and other messages. Sadly, I don't have the time to go through all of that (I don't think anyone can), so I had to delete them all. I'll view people's work when I browse the actual individual pages.

Why have I been gone so long and why am I coming back now? Well, the last semester of school was very busy for me. Trying to work part time and getting a bunch of work done in two months for my exit show gallery was very time consumming. After that, I graduated and I was burnt out on art. I decided to take a little break from doing art and went to full time working at my current job. During that time, we got really busy at my retail job so I was working 40+ hours and just coming home and being exhausted. I started to get more and more into playing World of Warcraft as a way to relax after working long days. So time went on and I got stuck in this pattern of working all the time and then playing WoW or hanging out with friends as a way to unwind.

But now I'm getting really sick of my job and really want to get an actual art job since it's been over a year since I graduated and I've done nothing with my degree (besides teaching that part time comic book illustration camp during the summer). I'm trying to work on a good professional portfolio and trying to get back into the groove of producing art again. I'm coming back to here to get inspired by other artist and feed my drive to make new shit and get my stuff together.

So expect more of me in the days to come.

Mood: planning ahead

So they let me have a trial run of what a paid account is like again. I must say, the naviagation menu for browsing through comments and friends deviant pages is really easy. Probably one of the best features that I wouldn't mind paying for. But still not worth paying the full amount every month when I most likely will only use that and not the other features that I don't know anything about no how to use.

So, yeah, it's been a long while since I had an entry. I've been really busy with a lot of shit. I have my exit show in two weeks, so I've been working like mad on getting art done, but it is taking time (like usual for my work). It sucks only having two months to create a full body of work for a gallery show compared to all the other seniors who have four months. Summer exiting just plane sucks.

I'm moving tomorrow. So I've been really busy with packing up my shit for the past month. Then after I move, I will be spending about another month unpacking all of said shit. *sigh* But can't wait to get into my new place, it is so awesome. I'm exicted.

On August 6th, I will graduate from college. I'm really excited and yet scared about that. For one, I will finally be done with school forever. But another hand, no more insurance and I will have to start paying my loans back in six months. uuuuuugh

I will be working full time at Junkman's now and will be getting a promotion, hopefully that means a raise. Because I'm going to need the money. I'm going to look into other part time jobs as well just to make end's meat.

Hopefully soon I will have more time to spend on here and catch up on everyone's art. Later guys!

Nothing worse than planning on doing art work since you have a full day ahead of you finally and then forgetting all of the basic supplies you need in the Studio. I could go get the supplies I suppose, but it would just take too long to catch a bus there and then back. Also I apparently left the art piece that I did that I wanted to take a photo of and upload it to here to show off. Double damn.

Oh well, at least this has given me the time to work on some sketches for pieces that I plan on working on. I swear, I'm getting more and more disturbed I think.

Wish they had a larger preview available. I can't wait to see this movie now. I'm glad to know that Frank Miller helped direct it so that it can stay true to his comic.

Nearing the end of Finals Week here at UGA. Been one hell of a busy semester. Just one more final on Thursday and then I'm free for about four weeks. Will be working like mad at my job since it is the Christmas season, but at least I will have free time at home to do things I haven't been able to do. So expect an art dump soon and for comments from me.
