I'm engaged. That's a huge deal for me. Now, I'm spending my time trying to plan and all that jazz with my fiance. I'm pumped!

I've also spent a lot of time working on my website, which can now be found here:
[link]

I've also been doing a lot of wedding photography, which you can see bits of on the website.

So, all in all, I've been keeping pretty busy. But all in all, I still need more income. So, in light of that....

Commissions are open.

I normally don't do commission work from dA, but I'm trying to scrape together more stuff to show. And I need some cash. So, if you need work done, drop me a message or email me (email address can be found on my website).

Thanks all!

Trying to get more stuff together to put up soon. Be patient!

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not proud; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

I Corinthians 13

I have a few works in progress, and I hope to get at least one done by the end of the month. Because that's when I start up my semester. And I know I won't be able to do much during the school season.

http://Caelkriss.deviantart.com/journal/7904399/ Wed, 15 Feb 2006 08:26:34 PST Love

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not proud; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will fail; where there are tongues, they will cease; where there is knowledge, it will fade away.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three;

edit: Okay, sorry about that, if anybody had already started reading. We just had a fire drill, and I had to evacuate the building. At least it wasn't cold outside, or anything.

As I was saying: It's not what enters the mouth that defiles a man, but what comes out of it. Profanity not only offends people, but it makes the speaker look and sound like an idiot incapable of using proper language to express his/her feelings.

Ironically, people are going to be offended because I posted this. Imagine that... offended because I dislike the vulgarity of their vocabulary.

I'll close with this. I appreciate all the comments, and expressions of wonder for people's artwork. I think that when people have worked hard to create something beautiful, they deserve a bit of encouragement. But I ask that you all refrain from making asses of yourselfs, and use some real words. If you comment on my page, make it clean.

Thought people might want to know more about me than my "Devious Information" shows.

I've never taken an art class... Except once in highschool (which was more of a dedicated time for me to draw whatever I wanted), and a Design 1 class which... doesn't count. I'm pretty much self taught.
I'm currently running a small audio/visual design studio with my brothers: imagineering studios, inc. I've designed CD covers, and illustrated and laid out book covers.
My all-time favorite artist is John Howe! His creativity, powerful imagination, and beautiful illustrations give me a goal in my work.

Other artists that I admire are:
Ian McCaig, for his amazing character designs (Star Wars)
Gary Tonge, for his dynamic landscapes and brilliant colours
Christophe Vacher, for his awesome landscapes and the vastness of the worlds that he creates.

Music: I've always loved music. I play the piano, and I sing ... and I compose. I'd have to say that my favorite genre of music is film score. I could listen to my collection of film music for hours. I have several favorite composers: John Williams, Hanz Zimmer, James Newton Howard, Harry Gregson-Williams, and James Horner are some of the top ones. Thomas Newman is great too.
I also listen to a lot of classical music: Chopin, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Gershwin, and Copland are some of my favorite classical composers.
Of course, I don't rule out pop culture. I listen to a lot of radio, and some of my favorite artists are Sarah McLachlan, Avril, Kelly Clarkson, and Billy Joel.
That's about the least I can say about music.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy my gallery! Be sure to check out my "Scraps" to see works in the making, doodles, and details of Deviations. Please leave plenty of comments. Constructive critisism is always welcome as long as it's done politely. Slainte! ]]> ~Caelkriss http://Caelkriss.deviantart.com/journal/5533426/ http://Caelkriss.deviantart.com/journal/5533426/ Thu, 02 Jun 2005 15:05:30 PDT They can be found in my "Scraps" section, since they're not complete works.

Finals are finally ... finalled. These past three weeks have been long and painful with no chance to even touch artwork! It's been nigh to torture. But now, I'm done with all the busy stuff, and it's (WARNING: NEW MEANING) back to the drawing board!! I'll try to be dishing out some major peices this summer!!

Thought people might want to know more about me than my "Devious Information" shows.

Yes, I'm currently a 21 year old student. My major is business, but art is my #1 love in terms of things that I do. Illustration is what I consider my main area, and I love creating characters and giving them life.
