                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I thought I might do something a little different and upload some of my favorite photos. I hope you all like them. My camera is just a little point-and-shoot but it has a "super macro" setting that lets me get pictures from about an inch and a half away. That's how I take most of my pictures! I've learned to manipulate it by 'tricking' its black and white points (because it automatically adjusts them, UGH!). I really do enjoy photography but I don't do it very often. I just sort of pick up the camera 'when the mood strikes me.' <br /><br />I really can't begin to describe the reverent joy I find in the tiny things of nature. I hope that more people can come to understand.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I do not know when I will be able to get another one; so no digital art or photo work for me for a while.  This pretty much sucks.

                <description><![CDATA[ At last, the sculpture I have been struggling with is finished. This is the latest in the "Frail" series, as I have decided to call it... the pieces center around weakness and "frailty" of the soul. This is reflected in their form and making. Taking what is inside and letting it shape itself into something you can see. <br /><br />These pieces evolved themselves, I feel more like a conduit than the creator, and they take quite a lot out of me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ PHEW!!<br /><br />Sorry for the big "ART DUMP" for anybody who is watching me... I am FINALLY putting up the scanned images of the Video Game Pop Art Mini Canvases I did a while back. 31 never-before-seen miniature works of art! It's been far too long since I uploaded anything to DA and I guess I decided to do it all at once.  I was thinking about calling these things "Pixel Pops!" They seem to be turning into a series. <br /><br />All of the originals are for sale, and I am thinking about offering mini-prints and/or other things like magnets/stickers and such. What do you think? <br /><br />If you are interested in buying one (some of them are gone already, I will have to check) they are $30 and include a super cute miniature easel to display them on. <br /><br />I want to do a lot more of these... MORE Bust-A-Move!  More Mario! The 8 Robot Masters... The list goes on!  AHH ART ATTACKKKKKKKK<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I've been incognito for quite a while now... and my art has suffered. Events of my life have been very hard on the muse. Tonight I am sitting at my art desk with a sculpture I began months ago, ready to begin again. I'm gonna broadcast live while I work tonight but, if you miss it, don't worry, I'm gonna be broadcasting live now and again. <br /><br />It's hard to feel like an artist when you haven't been making any art. my 'artist ego' has taken quite a beating and I fear it may be some baby steps to get back into it all. I feel hopeful.<br /><br />Oh, if you would like to join me this evening: <br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.ustream.tv/channel/galindorf">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Mom Update Jul 6<br /><br />I wish to apologize in advance for not writing back individually to people who have sent me emails. My time on the computer has been rather limited and there has been a lot going on.  Thank you all so much for your words of support and kindness.  For those who wonder, you can come and visit mom at any time here at the Hubbard House.<br /><br />A lot has changed since the last update; Mom has been moved to a phenomenal hospice facility called Hubbard House. Her condition is steadily, but gently, declining. It is the doctor's estimation that she will likely no longer be with us in 2 weeks or less. <br /><br />If you would like to see Mom, you should do it now. She is peaceful, and restful. She will likely not be able to speak to you, but she knows you are there, can hear your voice, feel your touch, and be comforted.  She may not, at this point, even open her eyes.  I was given some wonderful literature by the hospice nurses, and I'm posting a site here that may help to understand some of the changes going on with Mom now: <br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://endoflifecare.tripod.com/Caregiving/id89.html">[link]</a><br /><br />I ask that visitors keep the visits to 30 mins or less unless you are coming to 'sit in' with her. Please be mindful that she can hear you, and feel you. <br /><br />I am still stunned that all of this happened so fast. But, Mom is not afraid. We are so grateful that we have had this opportunity to spend time with her, talk to her about her wishes, make plans, and see that she had peace and grace for the end of her life. <br /><br />The wealth, the outpouring of support, love, and care from friends and family is a true testament to the woman my mother is, and how many lives she has touched. I remember when I was young people would say to her "gosh, you should be a teacher!" and she would reply: <br /><br />"I am a teacher." <br /><br />And it is true, every moment, even as she prepares to leave us.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Update on Mom June 29<br /><br />At last I am able to sit for a few with actual internet access and write an update on Mom. <br /><br />Mom is currently recuperating from her spine fusion surgery at Valley Center nursing home.  There she is getting some occupational therapy, as well as speech therapy. We also have a palliative care nurse working with her to get a better control and assessment of her discomfort.  We will have her there while she heals up and gets a bit of palliative radiation to shrink the tumor in her neck, mostly to help with symptoms of pain. Then we will be moving her to a phenomenal Hospice Care facility called the Hubbard House.  If, however, she decides not to go ahead with the radiation we will move her to Hubbard sooner, where she will stay.  Getting hospice care in her home is, sadly, not really feasible because of the condition of the road leading to the property. She is requiring constant care and vigilance, not a few hours a day.  She is very VERY glad to have the cervical collar off of her neck. The stitches are healing very nicely.<br /><br />Mom's delirium comes and goes; at some points she seems remarkably astute and at others she seems to be in a waking dream. It has been estimated by the oncologist that she has around 6 months to live and we intend to make her life as awesome as possible! (of course knowing Mom she'll be around another 6 years!) She has decided, and we agreed, not to have any aggressive radiation or chemotherapy treatments.  Mom's cancer has progressed far beyond the ability to control or cure, the main goal now is for comfort and quality of life, not 'quantity' of life. <br /><br />The source of the confusion is still not terribly clear. Her medications have been changed a few times, and while there has been improvement, the confusion has never quite cleared entirely. The neurologist I spoke with did not feel that the mini-strokes were the cause of her discombobulation; but a condition called 'vasculitis' has not been ruled out.  Her level of weakness comes and goes.  She has been spending a lot of the last few days sleeping. She tires very quickly even just sitting up right now and absolutely needs a lot of assistance getting up or going to the bathroom.  The mini-strokes have contributed to part of this; her balance is off-kilter and she is having a lot of fine-motor trouble (i.e. she needs assistance to take a drink by herself or eat or even hit the nurse call).  She is definitely doing better than she was, but her level of competence changes dramatically. I feel alright to leave her alone for short periods (half hour).  <br /><br />Again I want to thank all the friends and relatives who have come by to visit every day, I can see the difference in how mom is feeling and acting when she has people here that she loves. <br /><br />and another HUGE THANK YOU to people who have been reposting and donating to the Lenna Schultz Cancer Help Fund. It's really helping us to get by. *BIG HUGS* <br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=6264170">[link]</a><br />(PayPal Link)<br /><br /><br />If you guys have questions or need more info please feel free to message, call, email, comment here, or text me.  <br /><br />Love to all~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everybody. It's been a hell of a week. For my friends I am posting here the updates I posted previously to Facebook and email, regarding the situation with my mother's cancer.  I have set up a donation fund, for anybody who would like to help out or at least spread the word. Every little scrap helps... <br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=6264170">[link]</a><br /> (paypal link)<br /><br />Updates, posted more recent first: <br /><br />Update on Mom June 22<br /><br />Thank you all for waiting so patiently. I started typing this report two days ago. Apologies for the lack of update. I also apologize if this seems a bit short, I crashed and woke back up to write this and I am beyond exhausted. It's been an extremely draining last couple of days and I have not slept. I need to watch mom every moment right now. Her pain medicine is being changed/backed off in hopes that it will clear up some of her confusion and she has been very uncomfortable in the process.  I want to extend serious thanks for everyone who comes by.  You have no idea how it improves her mood and focus.  It means so much. <br /><br />Anyway, an MRI was done on her head, and multiple infarctions were found in her brain. It is believed that, at some point, Mom had some mini-strokes. This may or may not be a cause of some of her delirium/confusion.  They are not tumors or cancers as far as we can tell.<br /><br />An MRI was also done on her neck, it looks good, the surgery has taken the pressure off the compressed nerve and she is definitely feeling less pain. The incision os healing well and she is able to take the cervical collar off while she is laying down and sitting.  She is so much more comfortable with it off.<br /><br />Also finally the oncologist came by and made a report. I was not able to talk to him myself, but the prognosis is not good.  This is an aggressive, fast-moving cancer and he estimates her with 6 months to 2 years left to live.  This is really just so hard to believe.<br /><br />Tues we will be looking into our 'managed care' options for Mom.  We are doing our best to keep her spirits up. I am sure there are things I am leaving out here but I will write them down if I can so I will remember them for the next report.<br /><br />I also want to extend huge thanks to people who have donated to the 'help-out' fund. It brings tears to my eyes the care that surrounds this amazing woman and radiates out even to people who do not know her. Thank you.  Thank you. <br /><br /><br />_______________________________________.<br /><br />Update on Mom June 19<br /><br />Sorry this is coming so late, it's been a difficult day and night and and I haven't been able to leave mom alone for a minute. Mom's confusion continues to worsen.<br /><br />Thank you, thank you, THANK you to everyone who has come by to visit.  It hugely improves her day, in spite of her considerable confusion.<br /><br />I'm going to make this short. This evening an MRI was done on her head to scan her brain for abnormalities.  The scan that was done before was a CAT scan and not as detailed as we need to look for tumors in the brain. I am waiting for the radiologist to read it, give a report to the physician and for the physician to talk to me. Whether or not there are any metastases in her brain will do a lot to determine what actions we choose to take next.<br /><br />We are going to start looking at options for long-term care, regardless. I am setting up a donation fund for anyone who wants to help us out to defray some of the costs and lost income. If you wanted to send a gift or flowers to Mom, do this instead.<br /> <br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=6264170">[link]</a><br /><br />You can use any major credit card and you don't have to join up with PayPal to donate.  Any amount, even $1 is so welcome. <br /><br /><br />Thank you again, everyone, I will write again as soon as I have more information. <br />______________________________<br />_____________<br />Update on mom june 18<br /><br />I want to thank everybody who has sent their well-wishes, prayers, thoughts and support and the folks who have been by to visit. I can't tell you what it means to us.  I also want to apologize for anyone who tried to call the house last night; the phone was messed up and I do not get cell phone service out at the farm. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  I have some more info for you now.<br /><br />The surgery went fine, she is recovering now at CAMC General (if you need room/visitor information please call me/text me, etc). She is in a lot of discomfort and wearing a neck brace (which is irritating the snot out of her!)  I left her alone last night to go rest/shower/sleep back at the house, and came back to find he... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I want to let everyone know what is going on, this is rather sudden.  I'm going to put down as much info here as I have. <br /><br />The short version is that my mother has cancer and I am going home to West Virginia for an unspecified amount of time to take care of her and her affairs.  I have canceled all of my engagements for the next month or so. While out at 'the farm' I'm going to have extremely limited dial-up internet access and no cell phone service.  I will be checking messages though.  I am heading out on Monday.<br /><br />A few weeks ago my mother was complaining of terrible neck pain and went to see a doctor. They thought it was a horrendous cramp, put her on bed-rest and gave her some muscle relaxants and pain pills. As time progressed, it became much worse, so bad that she could barely move.  She also had something going on in her back, which was believed to be a sebaceous cyst, no big deal, a little surgery and it would be gone.  Turns out the cyst was a cancerous fatty tumor. <br /><br />Fast forward to late last week, they FINALLY do an MRI on her neck and find that yes, there is also a mass on her neck, right on her spine.  She is also FINALLY hospitalized.  I do not know yet if the mass on her neck is cancerous or not. I intend to straighten out a lot of things when I get back home.<br /><br />For anyone who knows my mother, she is a VERY VIGOROUS woman, a force to be reckoned with, active and full of zeal (sometimes too much!) Right now she's barely conscious but she is stable and they are prepping her for radiation treatment.<br /><br />I am going to do my best to keep people informed and everything straight with the farm and paperwork and whatnot.  This also means I will not be attending Origins as an artist.  I may be able to get some work into there in the art show, and I really hope I can at least pop up for a visit, because I really miss everyone. <br /><br />*BIG HUGS*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everybody!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /><br /><br />How the heck are ya!  I'm posting to let you know, this week I'm doing a rush on work I want to present at Anime Central.  I will be in the art show, with a special brand of work, <b>Miniature Video Game Pop Art CanvasesÂ!</b>  Mostly, they are my takes on some of my very favorite pixel sprites from old games. You may have seen a few in my <a href="http://galindorf.deviantart.com/gallery/#Tiny-Canvases">gallery</a> already. <br /><br />ANYWAY!  <br /><br />Also, I've decided to paint these little jobbers live online! So, periodically I will be live on Ustream painting and I would <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> LOVE <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> to have you come by and hang out. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.ustream.tv/channel/galindorf">[link]</a>   <--- mah channel  ^_^<br /><br />If you follow me on Twitter (user: Galindorf) I will send out a twit (tweet?) to let you know when I'm on.  Hope to see you there!!<br /><br />Love, <br />The G<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Heya All!<br /><br />So like, as soon as I got back from WV from the holidays, I learned that the rent would be raised so high on my new lease that I couldn't afford to live there any more.  AAHH!!  SO, in a hurry I found a place to live and have moved into it finally as of a few days ago. Besides some other stuff and nonsense, the boiler broke for the building almost as soon as I moved in, so there has been NO HEAT. It's kinda cold and stuff in Chicago... <br /><br />So as you can imagine I haven't been doing a whole lot art-wise yet this year.  <br /><br />*FRUSTRATIONNNNNNNNN*<br /><br />So, I'm here in the cold, surrounded by boxes that have my things in them, and noplace to work yet.  But all in all I like the new apartment. <br /><br />... so does having a studio apartment count as having a studio?  hmm...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey all!<br /><br />I'll be offline pretty much until Jan 6, when I'll be back in town from the holidays. <br /><br />I want to wish everyone a wonderful holiday, but especially a fantastic New Year's.... it's one of my favorite times for the sense of reflection and renewal. I know I have a lot of goals for the coming year, and I want to take some new directions with my art as well.<br /><br />Also, ~<a class="u" href="http://flameadder.deviantart.com/">FlameAdder</a> pointed out to me that I've gotten 11k pageviews!  WOW!  I'm pretty amazed. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  I was excited in Feb to have gotten 3k, and now this!  <br /><br />Just so you know, ~<a class="u" href="http://flameadder.deviantart.com/">FlameAdder</a>, I'm totally NOT THANKING YOU for congratulating me.  Just so we're clear on that.  OK?  OK.  Totally  not.  Not doin it. -whistles-<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, earlier this year, when I was in a serious art slump, I was inspired by ~<a class="u" href="http://thee-bluebeard.deviantart.com/">thee-bluebeard</a> to try painting on some of these tiny canvases that he had found at Dick Blick's. I needed to have some fun, to re-enjoy my art again. So, getting back to my seriously geek roots, I started playing around with creatures from my favorite old video games and some other generally "fun" stuff. I meant to also get shots of these on the tiny little stands you can get to go with them (they are adorable!!)but I didn't get a chance to.  Maybe next time. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> <br /><br />I am open for commissions on these little things, I actually painted one for a character portrait/badge at a convention, and it turned out really well! <br /><br />Enjoy~<br /><br />ALSO:  Note: I am now removing all of the Astral Dreamers work from this account!  They, and more like them, can be found at my second account: <br />~<a class="u" href="http://astraldreamers.deviantart.com/">AstralDreamers</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

Thanks to *<a class="u" href="http://zyphryus.deviantart.com/">zyphryus</a> and her wonderful man ~<a class="u" href="http://dav30.deviantart.com/">Dav30</a> I have had a fantastic vacation away from home, done lots of drawing, eaten delicious food, and have, for the first time in a long time, <br /><br />RELAXED! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> <br /><br />Thanksgiving with her family was just a blast; I'm going home tomorrow to start back to "takin' care of bizness."  What has kept me so tied up? a whole bunch of illustration jobs and just plain stress.  I have returned this evening to you all in a much calmer state, and with a few new (old) things to show.

                <description><![CDATA[ Today I bring you... Photographs!<br /><br />I went to help my friend ~<a class="u" href="http://thee-bluebeard.deviantart.com/">thee-bluebeard</a> set up some last-minute stuff at his spot at the Wisconsin Bristol Renaissance Faire, and it was such a gorgeous summer day. I was fortunate enough to witness some great bugs that day and I was so excited about the shots I took of a wasp fight I just had to upload the best one here. And the cute little dragonfly guy who was chillin' out on a stick.  Such beautiful eyes! <br /><br />I have several insect photos swimming around here on my HD that I will upload here at some point.  Some of them I'm not sure what they are so I need to look them up first.  I know out of all my work the photography gets the least attention but I love it anyway. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been a while since I updated.  For those of you who didn't know already, my younger brother died unexpectedly and rather tragically at the beginning of the month.  It has put a lot of things in perspective and life feels very... different... now.  <br /><br />This new piece, Death Goddess, I began in earnest a few days before the passing of my brother.  Interestingly, the florid sketch that began this work coincided interdependently with two other works of very dear friends of mine, <a href="http://zyphryus.deviantart.com/">Lydia Burris</a> and <a href="http://www.montgomerymullen.com">Monte Mullen</a>; both having either had dreams of and/or working on creative projects involving otherworldly bird-faced creatures directly associated with death.<br /><br />Sometimes, when one is involved in a creative project, it feels as though something is coming through you, as though you are a vehicle for it to "become."  I often feel this way about my work.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I'm finally back with a new piece, "Mommy's Little Monster." I'm all moved in my new place, and currently being buried under a lot of snow. It's been tough to get used to living without my little guys... I went to see "Golden Compass" and it made me miss Toby so badly!!  <br /><br />I needed a break from the regular and my brain had something to get off its chest, and so was born "Mommy's Little Monster."  Now maybe I can focus on the work I'm supposed to be doing?  So much changes in the last 2 months.<br /><br />I want to give big ol' shouts to 2 of my friends who just got their own DA accounts!!  You should totally go check them out.  <br /><br />Kat Hardy does beautiful, decorative and whimsical pieces with lots of gorgeous color.<br />Click here: <a href="http://ladystonehawk.deviantart.com/">[link]</a><br /><br />Brian "Bluebeard" Miskelley does a broad range of work including murals and even comedy acting!  He is perhaps best known for his dimensional cut paper work, and he's got an affinity for bad-ass pinup girls.  So glad to finally see him up online with his work!<br />Click here: <a href="http://thee-bluebeard.deviantart.com/">[link]</a><br /><br />Last but not least, seems I got 3k pageviews while I wasn't watching!!  Wow!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Thanks so much, everybody!  ^_^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello my dear friends!<br />
<br />
Well, the last month or so has been.... interesting.  I lost my job just before thanksgiving which left me high and dry in INDIANA  (ugh)  SOOO  I'm moving to Chicago!  Tomorrow I leave to see my family for the holiday, and by the time I get back here I will have moved into my new place in Chi-town.  As a result, I won't be on for a while. This new year should be really exciting, you will be seeing a lot more of me and out of me very soon!  I'm excited.... but I'm also a bit sad because I am finding homes for my beloved companions whom I will miss terribly.  T_T  I do not know what this new life in Chicago will entail, but I want my little ones to be safe, happy, fed, and secure!  So I say goodbye to Toby, my darling ferret, Grennie, my charming little cockatiel, Red & Green, the two black cat sisters, and Silverat, my elegant feral kitty boy.  <br />
<br />
Certainly a time of great change, excitement, and heartache.  <br />
<br />
I want to thank everyone who has helped get me through this most challenging year or so of my life and express how grateful I am to have such amazing and heartfelt friends.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, the convention was a success.  I am both happy and sad to say that "Please..." sold.  I will miss him.  In other news, I have several shadow boxes waiting to be made into something pretty... and I think I will make some more "Cosmic" pieces.  Tell me, what are your favorite animals?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, from Nov 8-11 I will be showing art at the Con on the Cob art show.  This is the first time I'll have had art and prints for sale and I'm very nervous and really starting to stress about it.  Some of my prints came out badly so I won't be able to take them. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  But!  Other things are looking well.  Not much time left now~!  DAMN I hate working a day job sometimes.  Really cuts into your art time.  sheesh.  <br />
<br />
In other news, z0mg, I put up a picture of ME on the webcam spot.  That's a shot of me at work in me halloween outfit.  Avast!<br />
<br />
... of course I look like that on any given day sometimes so.... <br />
<br />
I hope you guys are enjoying some of the new deviations I've submitted.  I'm kinda jazzed about how "In the Aether" came out, I think I'd like to do some more in that general style if I can find some more of those square shadow boxes.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Whoo, seems I've gotten a lot of things to add lately, all brand-new!  I'm getting ready for the Con on the Cob art show.  Anyway, please enjoy my new adds, even if they do seem a bit um, all-over-the-place.  More to come! Eventually I'll add back on some older stuff too.  I made a trip to the art store and got some new stuff to experiment with, hehe....<br />
<br />
And after getting my sculpture done today my hands are stained so that I look like I've murdered someone.  Tomorrow shoudl be interesting at work, eh??<br />

I have been working with a writer whose ideas make me go all tingly... I give you the first of what is surely to be many more.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ah, I have been so exhausted this week and had not been keeping up with my goal of uploading to DA every day!  So today, I present a few fantasy illustrations.  There are many more things I wish to upload, it is interesting to see what types of my work get more attention that others.  The photography, for example, has gotten barely a bite!  I think this DA Gallery may help me see what people like and what they don't....  I love being able to get this feedback.<br />
<br />
I wish to extend the warmest of thanks to all of you who have put me on your watch lists and who have commented and +fav'ed various works.  It means so much to me and is deeply appreciated.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/love.gif" width="23" height="16" alt=":love:" title="Love" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today I add a few more 'horror' style pieces.  I have done quite a few of them on and off in my life.  I think that tomorrow I may put up some sculpture.  <br />
<br />
Thank you everyone, who has taken time to come by this gallery and leave comments.  This has been so helpful to me to become interested in my art, again. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am still so pleased and grateful for the Daily Deviation given for my "Jump for Joy" piece.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  <br />
<br />
For today, I am going to put up some pieces that are a bit different than I have put here already.  As deeply as I feel joy and wonder, I also feel pain and sorrow.  This leads to some of my "darker" art.  It has grown late on me but I will add a couple of pieces today and hopefully more tomorrow.  When I work on pieces like these I often become "lost" in them, and they come out more obsessively detailed sometimes, than my other works.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
This is so wonderful, I am so honored... it has taken me so long to get up the gumption to put work up here at Deviant Art and this means so much to me, thank you!!  T_T T_T<br />
<br />
I will put up some more artwork later today, slightly different theme than I've up now... <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Today I added a handful of the semi-dimensional polymer clay sculptures I like to do.  As you may have seen, I like to experiment with a lot of different media and polymer clay is so incredibly versatile that it has managed to hold my attention like no other medium.  I really want to find time to do more of the "Cosmic Creations" type works.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I decided to add some of my photography to the gallery today.  I would love to learn how/get more into macro photography.  The tiny world that is overlooked is stunning in its complexity.  The camera I took these photos with was an Olympus digital camera and I have done no retouching on them.  I really have been enjoying photography and the opportunity to show people the world as I see it.  I am sad to say, however, that my camera was filched earlier this year while I was at a museum.  I hope to get a new one soon.  I keep seeing such wonderful things I'd like to get up close to and photograph but alas... And spring is right around the corner.. T_T<br />
<br />
That's OK, it just means I'll have to save up for an even better camera, right?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I have many things I will add but I think I will just add a few each day.  It is my hope that this will kick me out of a major art slump I've been in lately.  <br />
<br />
You will find a wide range of subject matters in my artwork.  I have given up trying to categorize what "kind" of artist I am.  Please enjoy my gallery.  I look forward to being more active here.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
