Week Off

I have my birthday week off. The rest of my applications are due by the end of the week. I'm horribly nervous!

Here's specimen #7

Birthday

Well, it's almost my birthday, and I'm almost 30. So, here's a birthday creature......

Specimen # 22

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

Time to apply for financial aid.... :(

Specimen #6.

Belated Holidays

Hello and Happy Holidays!

Back to work tomorrow. :(

Specimen #22

I've been having horrible writer's block. I'm more concerned about my portfolio and the grad school applications. I have a few paragraphs of the story and the whole idea planned, but I'm just not writing it.... I feel that it will finally be done in February when I've sent off the last application and portfolio and I'll be done with the FAFSA and all that. I studied writing, but I'm more concerned about other things now, so this story will have to wait. And I don't like the protagonist's name, I keep changing it instead of writing the story...excuses, excuses....

Here's the first part though.....

The Mysterious Ones

Mr. Thomas Brown was a collector. He collected many things- jewelry, coins, rocks and shells, old fingernails of dead aristocrats, etc… He was a bit of an oddball character, always alone. Always observing with his monocle things no one else would notice - a speck of dust in the wind.

Portfolios

So I officially submitted one complete grad school application, portfolio and all! Am very excited and nervous. Am about to mail another tomorrow....

Clumsy Me

So I had an accident and almost broke my hand and scraped up two of my knees really badly. Was limping for a while. At lease I'm alive. :/

Just one thing after another with me....

Flora

Something a bit different:

Nothing new

I have nothing really to say today. I didn't really like the last drawing I posted, so here's a better one, a little sad, a little lonely perhaps...




Oh, also, I put sticker sheets in my etsy shop. They're cheaper than the original drawings, and you get 6. I'll put up custom ones soon, so you can pick and choose which 6 you want.

Sickness

I've been sick lately, so the story is yet again pushed back. I should stop mentioning it to not bring your hopes up... :) It'll be done I promise! I'll probably;y post bit by bit (Part 1, Part 2, etc...) because it's a bit long. I have added more drawing to it though.... Here's another sample... Not my favorite, The shell is a bit off. But I think the head it cute.

Getting there...

So the story is almost done... I kept being unsatisfied with the story and thought it was too cliche or that I've read it before, but now it's going somewhere, and I'll have it done by the end of the week.

The book should be done soon as well. I have the drawings laid out, so once the story is done and done, I'll order the book. I'm excited! I've never done anything like this before. kinda proud of myself, must say... :D

Hello world...

I didn't realize people were commenting on my blog! Thank you for the lovely comments! :D

I haven't had internet access at home for a couple of days, there's something wrong with my router, so I'm doing this all at work. Probably shouldn't, but, whatever....

Busy day!

Oh, what a busy, busy day at work!! I'm taking a little break to post this....

Specimen #21

Don't have much to say...Here's a picture...:

Two drawings

So, I ended up creating 2 portfolios because I had too much stuff. One is general drawings, and the other is specifically to the Mysterious Ones project. The book and story are coming along. By next paycheck, I'll have the books ready, and I'll put them up on etsy. I guess, if you don't have a video, then, no one cares about your kickstarter project. :(
I want to do this regardless, plus, it will look great for grad school! :)

Another specimen...

And another... because why not...
