                <description><![CDATA[ I was sitting here browsing thru the profiles and galleries of various painters throughout deviant art, and I had an epiphany.  I think that I have finally figured out why it is that I have not really gotten into painting.  For that matter, I have not done much beyond reproducing (or attempting to reproduce) only the things which I can see.  I look through these galleries and I see such freedom of thought, and expressions, as though the brush and paint move on their own, and the artist is merely the conduit through which they move (and that is not to take ANYTHING away from the amazing talent).  What is is, however, is a statement in regards to what has hindered me from unleashing my own creativity... I am AFRAID of it.  <br />
<br />
I let my logical mind confine me so much into making what is, that I have never allowed myself to delve into the dream of what COULD be!  I have had all of these ideas swimming around in my head for ages... merely thoughts, but never really expressed, and definitely not released.  It has occured to me that they WANT to get out!  my procrastinating them, subduing them, never quenches them, it only makes them lie dormant, until the next wave.  Can anybody tell me how to just "let go" as it were?  Because I am really curious to see what might come out <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Whatever work I have been doing is going to be on hold for the next two weeks.  I am going home to Canada for about 10 days, and then as soon as I come back, I have to move apartments, so it will be a busy time.  I do hope that I will get rright back into the creative groove that I have been in though, which includes a few more of the pop art paintings, as well as a couple of colored pastel pencil pieces I want to get finished, and a charcoal piece I am about half done.  My new apartment is bigger too (Woohoo!!!)  and has more light, so it should be more conducive to working!!!  hehehe<br />
<br />
See y'all in a few weeks!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This is just a short note.  I am having a Couchsurfer stay with me for a week in September, then I am going back to Canada for a week as well.  Life is busy, though it has recently slowed down ever-so-slightly.  Summer has been hot, and I think that it is finally starting to cool down a bit.  I have been far too busy to draw, though I do have a couple new WIP's.  I have a stack of work to catch up on for school on Monday, which sees the start of a new term.  Aside from that, there has not been too much going on.  Since not that many people actually watch me, I also feel good enough about myself to confess that I am mostly making this entry to bump the last one out of the spot on my homepage!!!  LOL<br />
<br />
Have a good one!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />

<br />
Interstate Love Song - Stone Temple Pilots<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I bought a set of acrylics a few weeks ago, and I am getting the itch to try them out (having never used acrylics before, and having VERY little painting experience).  So, the question is at hand.  Obviouisly, I prefer doing people these days, and preferably not someone "famous", though I will take suggestions.  Any ideas? (or volunteers?)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello to all of you out there in DA Land!!! I am writing this journal because I have been asked to do something. Some of you know me a little bit, others barely know me at all. I am living and teaching English in South Korea. I have been here 7 months already, and am planning on sticking around for at least a few more years. The job is easy, the pay is good, and there is almost no stress to living at all. I have been asked by the managers at my school to help them locate people interested in coming to teach here next year. I highly recommend it if you want a break from the monotony of what you are doing now, or if you want to travel a little and experience a new culture, or simply if you want to put a few dollars away and pay off some old debts. Please send me a note if you would like some more details....but I highly recommend this for people who just do not know what to do with their lives.  Also, if you know anyone ELSE who might be interested in doing something like this, please have them contact at me here, or at my email address.  Cheers!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...to the few watchers that I have.  I know that I have not made any submissions for like, 4 months now, but that is only because I do not have a computer to submit them with.  I am hoping to pick one up this month or next, at which tme, I will start to submit the few ieces that I have done in the past few months.  They will not be the highest quality submissions, as I will not have a scanner, only hotos taken with a digital camera, but at least you will see some of what I have been up to lately <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  In the meantime, I continue to peruse the work done in DA, and thank those of you who do watch my pages <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I have found in the past that writing can be therapeutic for me, so I guess that venting on a website full of artists is as good a place as any (after all, let's face it,  as artists, none of us are really "all there"....sort of by definition).  <br />
<br />
So, for the past month'ish, I have been in quite a bit of a funk, but the past 2 weeks or so, it has really gotten a hold on me, and I have succumbed to it.  I go to work in the mornings, come home and sleep during my few hours' break, go back to school, come home again, rent a movie, and sleep until morning again.  This has basically been the pattern for a month.  There are nights when I have gone out with people, but I usually just sit there and wish that I was back home.... it is just a sad effort of moving beyond the confines of the 4 walls that are my home.  Don't get me wrong, life is good enough.  I am eating well, exercising (when I am motivated to), and have a great job working with kids I love....I just hate these damn moods I get in at times (and there is a particular catalyst as well).<br />
<br />
My biggest problem is loneliness I think.  I really have no friends to speak of here in a country where I am basically alone and on my own.  So this is my therapy....just being able to feel like I can talk about it a little bit.  Even my best friend in the world, who lives just up the stairs, has been avoiding me like the plague for the past couple of weeks, for some reason completely unbeknownst to me....a helluva time for an abandonment.  <br />
<br />
The good news is this.  I have decided that I will allow this to linger for the next few days yet...thru the weekend. Yes, I WILL go out this weekend in an attempt to be 'social', but I have made up my mind that no matter what, come monday morning, I am just going to have to 'suck it up', pull myself up by my bootstraps, and get back to living, even if it does mean I do it all by myself.  I have set myself up for a bit of a 'holding pattern' for the moment, at least 'til July, but hopefully at that point, I will see a bit of a cosmic shift, and things will start to look brighter for me again.<br />
<br />
Okay...I am done for the moment...thanks for putting up with my wallowing and whining.... Hope everyone else has a fantastic rest of their day<br />
<br />
me. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Alright, I have been in Korea almost 2 months now. I have done a few pieces (which I cannot scan), and am working on a couple more.  I have done portraits of 1/2 my kindergarden kids using conte pastels.... coming along well.  I had never tried people in this medium before, so it is an experimant going well <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
I am also working on a new pencil portrait for one of our premiere stock models.  You will probably never see it, but if you do, it will be because she shows it to you (hehe).<br />
<br />
Some of you may have noticed that I have removed some of your work as favourites.  It is not that they are not faves anymore, I am just moving them to my stock account as faves.  This is my public art account, and if I want to show it off to prospective clients (ie, people who want their kids drawn), I thought that it is probably best that I do not have a nude shot appear on the screen under my faves right away....lol!!!  Also, this way I can put my photo faves in one account, and my pencil/painting faves in another.  So do not fret, I still love you!!!!<br />
<br />
Aside from that, the new career is going well. I have my frustrating days to be sure, but a lot of really good moments as well.  I am constantly trying new things to get the kids to learn and settle in, some work, some don't, but that is the nature of the beast.<br />
<br />
I have also recently started going to hapkido (Korean martial art) classes.  I have a bad back that acts up periodically (like right now), and I am hoping that this will increase my strength and flexibility again, and relieve me from cyclical pain.... if anyone else has any remedies for helping out the lower back, or recommendations, I would be glad to hear them!!!!<br />
<br />
Ok, there is my latest update...hope to see you all soon <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, at long last, after all of the planning and paperwork, I am in the nation of South Korea. I have been teaching classes for almost 2 weeks now, and for the most part, alll has been fantastic! I have my own apartment, have been making friends with other foreign teachers, and been having a good time. There is lots of things to get used to, but I am adjustng well, and do not foresee much difficulty in lasting out the contract, and perhaps staying afterwards for longer. The country is crowded, and flooded with a sea of apartment buildings and neon lights...very pretty at night. There is lots of smog, and meat is expensive, but I am exercising more, eating better, and feeling in great health now <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Please, if anyone would like to ask questions, or just chat, please send me your comments and such, and I would be glad to talk more <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ February 6, this means that it is precisely 8 days untilk I board a plane and begin the adventure of a lifetime.  I will be b packing up what few earthly belongings that I have, packing a bag of clothes, and heading for the other side of the world to do something I have never done before. I will be teaching there, living there, working there, and not have a clue how to speak the language, nor how to engage the people....talk about stretching beyond my boundaries.  I will be working with another friend that I met online a few years ago, but we will both be fish out of water so to speak....should be fun.<br />
<br />
I leave on the 14th, go to California for a day, then off to Korea.  Eeeeeep!   All in all though, I have tried not thinking too much about it.  There is a balance to maintain. I have t think enuf about it to get things done, but not so much about it that I work myself up.  There will be plenty of time for that on the airplane!<br />
<br />
I have all these feelings tho.  I am like excited, and scared spitless!  I really have no idea what to expect, and I feel completely unprepared.  At the same time, I know that it is going to be the most amazing and rewarding experience of my life thus far.  so yeah......lol ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, it has come time again to let everyone know that I am at least still breathing!  I spent a week in the wonderful *cough* city of Winnipeg, Manitoba recently.  I spent some much needed time away with a wonderful and generous friend, and though we were not able to do ALL of the things that we would have liked (time, availability, etc), we did have a good time, and I got to grow a little more as an artist.  I did my first ever work in colour, and in doing so, went back to my "roots", doing pieces of wildlife.  I hope to have these 4 pieces posted shortly.  <br />
<br />
I hope that everyone is doing awesome.  I know that my circle of friends here at DA is rather small, and I would love to see it grow.  In the meantime though, I appreciate every comment and compliment that I have received from those of you who HAVE watched my work over the past several months. <br />
<br />
It is just a month now, before I make my big move.  I am uprooting myself from the dungeon that I call 'home', and transplanting myself to the nation of South Korea, where I will be teaching English to classes of kindergarten and primary school students.  This is a vast departure from anything that I have ever done before.  Yes, I have travelled a bit, and I have coached childrens' sports teams before, but this is a new monster entirely.  I also hope to find new inspiration for my art, and to have time to grow as an artist, improving both in my imagination, and my technique....wish me luck...HA!!!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I think that I am done this novellette installment for the month.  I would love to hear from any and all of you, and if you feel the compelling urge to recommend my work to anyone, I would love to see my watcher list grow as well <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
Have a great day!!!!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well well well<br /><br />I have not submitted anything new lately. A lot of it is due to a lack of time as of late.  I HAVe completed two new drawings. One of them I have not yet asked permission to post, the other is too large to scan and I need to take a photo of it yet.  I have also been doing some photography, but will probably not be posting any of that either.  I doubt that any of my "fans" will have missed my work...hehehe.  I have to get cracking again though. I have one more commission, and one more picture that I WANT to get done before Christmas yet....and I still have a lot of reading and assignments, not to mention travel-planning to do....  <br />
<br />
*sigh*  so much to do, so little time....lol<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, today the earth has passed around the sun for the 33rd time in my lifespan.  I am not feeling terribly philosophical about it, or terribly inspired BY it.  What I know is that there are some things that I have had the honour of experiencing, other things that I would never like to have to endure again, but more than anything, so much to look forward to.  The coming year is wrought with new life, new opportunity, and new experiences to be sought out.  There are already some MAJOR changes in the works, things that will completely change this life as I now know it.  I look forward with anticipation, tentative at moments, but for the most part, excited to see what is in store. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It is a photographic series taken in a small jungle village in the East African nation of Malawi, which was at the time, counted as one of the three poorest nations in the world. In that place though, I saw an amazing people, living their lives the best they could, with joy, and thankfulness. They did not have any of the luxuries and comforts that most of us have, but led amazingly happy lives. <br />
<br />
My series titles are satirical in nature... basing them on titles representative of bureaucracy and red tape, and attaching them to the most simple of things, depicting an extravagance in our way of life, versus the simplicity of how life can totally be.<br />
<br />
There are a few more photos in the series that I have yet to post.  I have also come up with ideas for a new series of photos, and am just in search of the right models, and the time to do it......  keep posted <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well ladies and gentlemen, today I officially became a member of the guild of owners of Photoshop 7.0.  There is only one problem...I have never used ANY version of Photoshop, and have NO clue how to even begin with this program!!!  HAHAHA!  So, I welcome any and every little tip that anyone who is experienced in manips and such can give me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />

I hope that everyone is having a fantastic day...and I look forward to learning so much from you in the furture <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I continue to learn and grow as an artist every time I log in.  I am always learning something new, getting good advice, or discovering new inspiration (I just wish that I had the talent and know-how to do HALF of the things that I see in my mind!!!)  Ah well....all in good time.  My back is a little better, the headaches gone, and I am trying all sorts of new things artistically.  Either I am genuinely trying to expand my artistic horizons, or I am seriously procrastinating about doing some of the things that I NEED to be doing right now...lol I have not figured out which it is quite yet <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
Ok...my rambling thoughts for the evening.... ]]></description>

I got two more commissions today (WOOHOO!!!) I think that after these ones, I MAY have to raise my prices a little bit.  HAHA!  I have an online course that I need to get done very soon too...all this and working full time...yeesh!!! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My newest deviation, the charcoal, was quite a journey.  I am still not 100% satisfied with it, however, when I see how it started out for me, versus how it ended up, I can see that I not only learned a lot, but also didn't do a HORRIBLE job.  The likeness is still not nearly as accurate as I would have liked it to be, but I am going to keep it nonetheless.  We shall call it a "stepping stone".  After all, Rome was not built in a day...and I guess that I cannot expect to achieve perfection on my first attempt at something totally new to me.....damn perfectionists!!!!!  (<---- former one here...some days I STILL have to force myself to kick the 'habit'. There was a time I would have just torn this piece to shreds in frustration...lol)<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Tonight was a busy one for me as I spent it adding another dimension to my Deviant Art account.  I added some of my photographic work.  This is merely a sampling of what I have, and I do not know that I have even included some of my very favourites yet!!!  But I will continue to upload a smattering of pictures from time to time.  <br />
<br />
If anyone would like to use my photos in their original works, by all means, please do.  I only ask that you give credit where due, and that you let me see what you do with them <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
I was going to spend tonight working on a new drawing that I started, actually, a couple of them, but I got a little sidetracked with the photos..hehhe  Tomorrow is a new day <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  <br />
<br />
I thank everyone for their comments and adds (I STILL do not know how to put the little [link] inserts and stuff here, so please bear with me as I learn all of this stuff.  Alas, I am shit with computers...HAHAHA!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, here it goes.  I would first of all like to thank everyone who has added me as their friend, or some of my work as their favourites, or even just the comments that I have received on individual pieces.....THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!<br />
<br />
I have only just started to get back into art.  I did some when I was in high school, and have never taken a class.  When I graduated WAY back in 1990, I pretty much put down my pencil, and did not pick it back up again until February of this year (2005).  Pretty much everything that you see in my Dev Gallery is what I have managed to put to gether since then.  I am also a bit of a photography buff, but have not put in many of my photos as of yet....perhaps some day soon, if time permits me to scan and upload them.<br />
<br />
You will all have to forgive me i ffor some reason I do not respond right away, or if I seem to not be participating in groups and what have you. Truth be told, when it comes to computers, I am an absolute idiot!!!!  LOL!  I do my best, but at the best of times it is a totally new learning process to get through a page.  I am slowly learning to navigate this site, but there are STILL so many cool things that I see, and all I can do is sit here and scratch my head regarding how you people DO these things...lol!  <br />
<br />
There are so many AMAZING artists, photographers, and models here.  The quality and talent of so many people are totally blowing my mind, and the fact that there is a place where so many of us, at so MANY different evels of skill, can gather together to share, to supoort, and to encourage one another, is very inspiring to me...so again, thank you to everyone who is here doing just that <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />   <br />
<br />
Please, anyone, feel free to send me notes, comments, whether it be a request, a friend add, or even notes to get to know me....all would be appreciated, and I would love to meet more of you.  Until then, I will be watching...deviously <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
