I remember when I was young, I used to do doodles every single day to the point I was going through reems of paper nonstop. Now that those olden days are over with, I feel the sting of age inside me. I want to create. I want to suceed in art..but art seems to have shifted into my yoyoing. And I absolutely adore yoyoing, but I also adore art. How do I balance the two?

I need people to come up with ideas for me to draw, it seems I cannot come up with things of my own. To a point, luckily to state to you right now, I've been into a kick for anime/manga hence again, using reverences for shots. I've always disliked my manga art, only due to the idea that for my art I cannot draw straight lines. Its something to do with my hands that I am unable to do it. Also, I cannot seem to draw a background, which I find so important its not even funny. Background creating can be just as important as a design in general.

I'm sure I shall be hitting the slops for my art. I have the rest of my life to do it, but I am also not going to ever give up on my art either. I'm a artist, I define as a artist. I live as a artist. Its my heart and soul deep inside of the not so seeable me. The Essence.

Other news to state, I'm now a sponsored yoyo player. Via a company called Madhouse yoyos. Its pretty intense to be honest, because that is a goal I have tried to chase after for nearly eight to ten years now, and I have finally achieved such a dream. I am very happy with that, and I hope to continue my services to them. I'm soon to be creating contest t-shirts for them via the stickers. Anyone want stickers? Just ask.

I've had my bouts of depression to near happyness. Its been quite a struggle to be honest. Also trying to hone my weight management is a bit difficult. I lost myself in April due to the addicting to chocolate. But I've kicked away from that. I'm exercising again as well and trying to strengthen my leg again. I need to get my heart back into the game. Oh and to let people know, I chose against doing the ACTs merely due to the fact of all the pressure it has put me through. I hate that feeling..its such a horrible thing to comprehend with.

I've been doing so many things I believe this year that its both exciting and distasterous.

I hope to become a artist like Ken Akamatsu. He is the creator of Ai love you, Love Hina, and Negima! Those three series I could read over and over again for the rest of my life due to the fact its a romantic comedy with lots of fan service *laughs* ...yes I am a perv deal with it. But anyways, his art is magnificent and he makes the best stories. Same for the artist of the Jing: King of bandits series. I've loved every single series..I have alot of manga books..I want to become a artist similar to them!

I'm Daniel Ickler, and I do it my way, ALL THE WAY!

First was the yoyo compition I was at last weekend. Its currently Friday so I have the ability to say that. Anyways, I went to Madison, Wisconsin to go the Madfest compition which was held in The UW fieldhouse. This is located in the UW area I do say. Anyways to wrap it up, it was a amazing contest, and I also recorded all the freestyles and stuff. I even made a clip video showcasing of the compition but in my own style of play!

Another concern is that I am actually taking the iniative of certain things about myself. Two key goals this year is to be able to have a drivers license and to be able to get into some classes for a education. Perhaps even into a college =O. No idea how that will be, and as of this moment I am currently striving to study for the ACTS which of course is like making my brain split apart as it is.

This year is going to be a positive year for me I believe, with art and yoyoing and nearly every faucet about me.

I have already felt a current sweep through me as a sign of change!

So lately I've been hella busy with my yoyoing. Its consuming my creativity juices because its important for me to practice and to be able to do well for the state compition comeing up sometime in January but do not fear! I am still working on art, like all my crazy abstract ideas.

Speaking of which, as we speak I am working on another piece featuring randomized ideas all glomped together. Apparently I am good at that? I am not sure, but its just one of many styles of art I like to do. I also do other forms, such as realism and nature, but I do not have the patience for it.

Check out my two new pieces! One is a tattoo design for a friend of mine, due to the fact she is irish that is why of the shamrock. The other is the annual halloween picture. That effing thing took me far beyond the amount of time I assumed. But then again i was lazy as well.

So, just to let people know, if you want for me to draw you something just ask? I am highly skilled in my own way and lately I have been doing quite a number of things for people so just ask and I can do. It isn't anything comission wise cause I am not that good..but even still.

Ps- I seriously hope a merry Xmas for all that is on here! I hope you stay with your familys and cherish what matters and not material items.

What do you think? Should I put my other things I have done besides my twisted abstract art up? I am to having to think about it, I have also taken some artistic photos as I do like to take scenery pictures and stuff like that.

On a completely different note:

So today I was mistaken as a woman. This disturbed me and made me laugh as well considering of usually people are pretty good at telling i am a guy or a girl. I had my usual attire on which is often Gothic based which I haven't put a picture up yet so I shall have to get to that sooner or later. but still.. I have a damn goatee, its not that hard to tell I am a guy. Freaking lame as all hell

I have a complicated style of art. I always seem to create in abstract and or its usually my manga characters that I am doing but I doubt I will ever put them up on here, it depends

I am also a sorta decent writer as well.

Anyways! This entry is the very first entry for here, and there is going to be a coming of waves for the pictures that I have to upload. Its coming, and I am going to be drawing and doing art like crazy now due to this.

Come and commentary upon it as well, thanks!
