Hrm

I'm back home.

And I should really get working on my art, before I don't have this precious free time again.

from the top: Stella Stargazer (on sticker paper); my Christmas present for my boyfriend; my super late birthday present for my best friend; the portraits of my characters from the "From the Eye of Hubble" series, and lastly, more of the characters from said series which I am working on the lineart for done on MCAD stationary

Oh, and I'm starting work again next week. I'm excited, money! But, it's... Christmas week. D:

Hams flying all over the scanners, why so much ham?

Why is ham the Christmas meat?

I love turkey, and ham, ... well usually the parentals grab like, honey baked ham, and don't get me wrong, honey baked ham is fine. I just prefer my meat to be... meaty. Not with a hint of sweet.

I realized, I want some Cheez-Its! And Flavor Blasted Goldfish! GRRR.

I am having salty snack withdrawal syndrome. 

It's been so long since I've had either in my mouth...  why do I set myself up like that?

Oh Your Goodness

So, it's two weeks (or less) until I am off for winter break.

I'm excited, but for now, I'm still swamped with work, but when that's done with, well, I get to go on a long break. (Over a month now! Wowzers!)

Hrm, I plan to:

1. Work my butt off in order to 

2. Get money, which will allow me to

3. Survive college, which will allow me to

4. Be less stressed, and therefore, put me

5. In a better state of mind to do work, and draw, but ultimately

6. I want to to draw and work on my personal art over the break, which will

7. Make me happy, and I like being happy.

That was the weirdest execution of numbering I have ever used.

O_O

I Have The Honor...

... Of being the person who created the first piece that sold in the MCAD 2008 Art Sale.

What? What?

That's right.

My sources told me this (since I was working the dang thing, 2nd floor Furniture area, I was one of the kids in a blue shirt, I was actually wearing a black cardigan on top, couldn't miss me, I stuck out like a sore thumb... I swear. O_O)

Apparently it was this piece: nora and the octopus.

I'm so surprised this happened, I mean, it was the first item sold for Pete's sakes, either someone loved it immediately, or they scouted it out a couple days before and were determined to grab it.

I think it may be the latter considering the speed the person obtained and paid for it. And it alone.

Here's a photo my friend took of the customer and the piece I sold: right here.

I'm really hoping that anyone who purchased my stuff will contact me, maybe give me some business?

It would be highly appreciated, highly appreciated.

NOVEMBEARD.

It's November.

I'm attempting to grow my facial hair out.

I'm sure it won't be anything epic.

If it goes well, I'll put up photos.

Yah.

Oh, by the way, I have a site: ariatics

It's named after a personification I drew of the constellation/zodiac sign Aries.

infinitum.

Hrm.

Infinitum, is that even a word, in any language?

I don't care, I'll use it.

As some sort of inspirational word.

Oh, I just checked, and infinitum is a word.

In Latin.

Meaning infinity.

Makes perfect sense.

I don't know, I could possibly use this inspirational word in something I do.

I want to.

I have other inspirations right now, or things I want to be inspired by.

Such as: (* = want to be inspired by; - = want I am inspired by)

-octopi (and the ocean/sea)

*native american art 

-icons (like the religious type)

-audrey kawasaki

*headdresses

-the cosmos

-the seasons 

*jellyfish 

*sea horses

-children's storybooks 

-fashion

I have a penchant for underwater animalia, don't I?

number one.

good day to you.

Hello there stranger.

I've seen you somewhere before, haven't I?

You'll see many things here.

This is a new beginning, this is where we make it right this time.

This is the documentation of whatever I feel like.

So yeah.

Have fun, don't die, and keep it jazzy.
