Now you waste all your days in the dark in the corner, without light without grace where you wait for your slaughter

Summer is in full gear! woohoo! I think I have almost fully recovered from year three, and to tell you the truth, I don't know if I can make it through another one. I'm getting a little too old for this schooling stuff. Weird!? I know right.

Anyway, towards the end of the year I put together a portfolio of some of my better work, and while I didn't get the throngs of employers throwing themselves at my feet begging me to come work for them as I was certain would happen, I figure I would post it on here anyway and put it to some good use. Without further ado...

You haven't looked at me that way in years, you dreamed me up and left me here

I'm done with my film woo hoo!! and here it is...



More to come very soon.

And at night she spoke to him of things heard only in hell

Two posts in less then a week from each other. I'm amazed!

So today in life drawing I thought I would give the old computer and tablet a try. It was a bit of a chore to get used to at first but towards the end of the day I was loosening up and getting some decent drawings. Here are a few of the better ones.

He's a WHAT? He's a WHAT? He's a newspaper man

Film making time is here again. Weeeeeeee!!!

My film this year is based on a story Ann told me about her childhood that I fell in love with. Unfortunately to make it as short as possible I stripped away any charm the original story had. Hey, What, I want to sleep some this semester, OK?!?!

Here is a turn around of my character design for young Ann, who here has been renamed Camilla to protect the innocent.

And we'll tak a right guid willie-waught for auld lang syne

Happy New Years everybody!! Weee!!! Yay!!! Wooo!!! Well I guess it's time to look back at the things I wanted to accomplish last year and focus on the things I'm going to tackle next year.

If I remember correctly last year I wanted to keep things simple and only take on a couple resolutions so I would be sure to accomplish them. Lets see how I did....

2008 Resolution #1: Read more.... Uhhhh do comic books count? I'm guessing no. I think I read an email or two, but I'm sure those probably don't count either. As far as books go, the last Harry Potter came out 2 years ago, and teenage vampire romance doesn't really do it for me, so what, is it my fault the world just isn't producing anything worth reading at the moment??? I think not!

Okay, Okay so that resolution didn't really work out, but surely I succeeded at the next one!

2008 Resolution #2: Get in better shape....... hmmmm well since my computer rests more comfortably on my gut then in my lap I think I'm going to have to call this one a failure too.

Crap, okay, well last year was a bust but who really likes to look back anyway? On to bigger better things! A new list of resolutions to fail at! YAY!!

2009 Resolution #1: Read more! This shouldn't be too hard I love to read. I do it all the time! Yeah!

2009 Resolution #2: Get in better shape! Not that I need it, I'm totally a pillar of health, totally!

2009 Resolution #3: Draw more! I'm going to be pretty unhappy if I get out of art school and I am still not confident in my drawing abilities!

2009 Resolution #4: Get better organized! I'm nearly 29, I should probably have some sort of system in place by now on how to keep track of all the things I need to do, when my families/friends birthdays are, when to shower, brush my teeth, take out the trash... but I don't

2009 Resolution #5: Post here a little more frequently. I think I owe it to all my fans out there.

I think 5 is enough for this year. I mean I can only fail at so many things before I start to take it personally.

Okay, now that all that nonsense is out of the way I actually have some art to show. I know, I know I'm pretty surprised myself.

I did this in my painting class last semester and I quite like it. It was done in oil on canvas board and I think its 18" x 24"
