Just an update to let y'all know that I came down with swine flu this week. Be safe guys and remember to stay home if you have it (because it's all kinds of not fun) and be careful if you don't. It comes on fast! I'm doing much better and should be up and about again next week. Thanks!

If you'd like to be put on the notification list for next available slots feel free to let me know. I usually send notes and e-mails out a week or two before reopening to give an extra head start to those interested. Thanks!

November! It's about time I updated this little journal.

Semester's half over now and so far things are busy but good. In class and out of class projects are going well and I've got a lot of drawings, paintings, etc. to scan and upload still. So much so that I've been thinking of starting a blog for 2D art and keeping this account strictly for the dolls/random fun projects that don't have much to do with work or a portfolio.

So the question now is for all the bloggers out there. Any tips, tricks, thoughts, or recommendations? I'm thinking blogspot, but am open to suggestions. Thanks guys!

First week of school and it's going to be a crazy year but in the best way possible.

I ended up dropping a class to work out my schedule better which should leave more time for practice and homework which makes me a happy camper. The focus on just sketching and observing in Italy this summer was so good and I'd hate to lose it with the press of work and school. I've got so much to learn that sketching and painting more is a must - I've kind of jumped forward in the program and have a lot of missed ground to cover. It's been a good first week and I've got some exciting professors and projects that will probably make their way to deviantart sooner or later.

Note for doll commissions - they are full, no more spaces will be opened this year pending some kind of miraculous event but I am still open for inquiries. If you'd like to be put on the notification list for next time they open feel free to let me know. I usually send notes and e-mails out a week or two before reopening to give an extra head start to those interested. Thanks!

[EDIT] On the road to school. Be back online on Monday!


Alrighty! I'm all closed up for the remainder of the year. School looking ever more busy, I dropped the December slot and probably wont be adding any more spaces until January or later. Thanks to all of you who reserved a space!

Once again, I've got a question for everyone - what is your opinion on features (i.e. featuring someone's work in a journal entry?. Apparently there's been some kind of brouhaha over it in the deviantart community that I don't really understand. Is it no longer okay to do so? I always liked the idea of the community helping artists out and promoting eachother's work, especially for those of us running a business off of it. Nothing like free advertising right? What if you ask the 'featuree' first or they volunteer?

What do you guys think?


Happy new semester and best of luck to everyone!

Thanks for all the well-wishing! I'm back home again and had a great time in the internet-free, wooded area that came complete with lakes, ducks, loons, leeches (cute from far away, actually), water sports, long walks under trees, mosquito clouds (not as bad as they could be), and a lot of happy relatives and good company. There are a few pictures posted in the gallery of what the place looked like (as well as of pie, because we all love that). My sister and ~IotaSorez also hit the Mall of America on the road home to balance out all the nature goodness. I'd never been before and it was pretty huge. Aside from all the shopping, apparently there's an aquarium somewhere that we didn't see. There's also a (hopefully) faux bronze statue of Spongebob. It's there to remind people to 'think happy.' ^^

As for commissions, there is only one space remaining for this year in December. I'm not sure what winter will be like so I won't be opening those until later. Once again, if I've got the time and resources to work on more dolls, I will add more spaces to accommodate those people who have discussed commissions with me and may or may not miss out on the slots and new requests. Thanks guys!

On a completely different note, does anyone else find these two fabulous? [link]
