I didn't draw when I was three...or ten...or fifteen. I started sort of crappy drawing when I was seventeen. That's three years ago. So, I kinda suck. Anyway, I DON'T REALLY WANT TO DO IT!!! I'm not kidding. I was going to be a Veterinarian. Then all of a sudden I couldn't STOP drawing. I still can't. So I find myself stuck: I can't be happy unless I major in art (Tried denying my major for two years, it didn't work), and I don't think I'm good enough to do anything with it...

You see my problem? All I want to know is this: Does anyone else ever have similar doubts and fears? I'm so tired of seeing all these fantastic 16 year olds who already sell paintings, (and are much better than I'll ever be) who have so much confidence. I wan't the darker side... Does anyone else fear failure like me? ]]> ~PencilWolf http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/4662847/ http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/4662847/ Thu, 24 Feb 2005 13:48:05 PST See you guys later. ]]> ~PencilWolf http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/4099839/ http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/4099839/ Sun, 19 Dec 2004 02:23:19 PST After fixing the scanner I have SOOOOOOOOO much stuff to upload, but I'll try to keep it down so I don't flood the thing. Anyway, I thought the Jacinth piece turned out nicely so I put it up. I will return with more news once I have something interesting to say. I loves you all. ]]> ~PencilWolf http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/3509794/ http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/3509794/ Mon, 04 Oct 2004 10:14:06 PDT To answer the question of how they were injured, first, in my Karate class I did something really dumb and blocked a kick from my teacher with an open hand. That's bad cuz you can break your fingers... they hurt, but I knew they were OK. then that night, I jammed them really hard against a door, and that's when i heard a snap, and they swelled really badly. So i went to the doctor the next day, and the x-ray said they were busted, so I got all splinted up. Then on sunday, the other x-ray said it was just a hairline fracture. I can still draw, and type! And do stuff. ]]> ~PencilWolf http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/3487879/ http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/3487879/ Fri, 01 Oct 2004 13:08:49 PDT
Still have kidney infection...

have a headcold...

Talk more later... ]]> ~PencilWolf http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/3247665/ http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/3247665/ Mon, 30 Aug 2004 13:53:23 PDT ~PencilWolf http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/2758248/ http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/2758248/ Mon, 28 Jun 2004 19:25:16 PDT Paul provided me a much needed balance in High School. If not for him and my other friends, I would have slipped over the edge, and I don't know where I would have landed. Either my bitterness would have overwhelmed me to the point where I lashed out at everyone around me and hurt others indiscriminantely, or I would have sunk into a despair so profound that I could never have returned.

Falling's easy. Climbing's hard.

Paul was always there to encourage me to climb, even when I didn't want to.

Dandelions, Five Iron Frenzy

in a field of yellow flowers
underneath the sun
bluest eyes that spark with lightning
boy with shoes undone
he is young, so full of hope
reveling in tiny dreams
filling up his arms with flowers
right for giving any queen
running to her,beaming bright
while cradling his prize
a flickering of yellow light
within his mother's eyes
she holds them to her heart
keeping them where they'll be safe
clasped within her very marrow
dandilions in a vase

she sees love where anyone else would see weeds
all hope is found, here is everything he needs

Thanks mom...I love you. ]]> ~PencilWolf http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/2278076/ http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/2278076/ Thu, 22 Apr 2004 20:13:12 PDT ~PencilWolf http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/2258257/ http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/2258257/ Mon, 19 Apr 2004 18:30:39 PDT ~PencilWolf http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/2143547/ http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/2143547/ Sat, 03 Apr 2004 11:09:54 PST ~PencilWolf http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/2066505/ http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/2066505/ Tue, 23 Mar 2004 00:30:23 PST ~PencilWolf http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/2048592/ http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/2048592/ Sat, 20 Mar 2004 10:44:50 PST ~PencilWolf http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/2037702/ http://PencilWolf.deviantart.com/journal/2037702/ Thu, 18 Mar 2004 15:13:31 PST
The other thing, is I hope if I were going through what Xenacra is, and I were difficult to live with, my friends would be there for me because I needed them. I hope they wouldn't humiliate and abandon me. I would never do that to any of them. In any case, that is all I have to say, and even if I don't change anyone's mind, I hope that I have opened your eyes.

This new DevArt is hard to get around on!! Aparently all the CG stuff counts as "Digital Art." I figured that would still be just "Art" cuz LAST TIME I put a CG into the digital art (under the old rules) I was told that was WRONG. Curses and vile maledictions.

I've gotten sick again... The barfing, and the nausea have returned. It looks as if I may be alergic to a milk protien. Whatever, I feel awful, and I haven't been able to do any work on Nelena or Das's sketchs. I apologize sincerely... I am an awful friend .

I don't think anyone really reads these... in any case, I'm attempting to answer a few questions.

First, I DID NOT get PencilWolf in an attempt to copy "GoldenWolf." So stop sending me mean messages!!! My brother is always calling me a Pencil Monkey. So I thought it would be more fun to call myself PencilWolf. Although you can't really make it into a nick name... PW? Pew? Pee? PeeDub? Just NO.

Now that that's out of the way, I need to explain why I can be either a red phase wolf with long hair, or a black phase wolf with short hair. That's actually pretty simple. I naturally have Reddish hair, but about a year ago, I cut it short and died it black. Thus when I think of "Myself" I think of myself looking two different ways. It is long and reddish again, so if I am in the mood that's how it comes out.

Third, my influences such as they are come from my heritage. Although I am a mutt of many nations, my strongest roots are from my Scotch-Irish background. Thus my werewolves tend to have a celtic look, along with the friggin' irish knotwork I do. I also have a little bit of native-american and I tend to express that as well. Lately I have been in a Celtic mood, so look out for the upcoming "Si Bheg Si Mor" which is *almost* done!!! As well as " Madreen Rhua" which is coming next!

Until later,

RootDown brought up an important issue for me and one that I've been meaning to get out of the way for a while now. The scary scary issue of art theft/concept theft. First of all for my stuff: Go ahead. Steal it. I don't make money off of it (yet! ^_^), and I would find it flattering. Second: I think that RootDown was correct in calling the hysteria a witch hunt. We are all artists that are into a certain genre, the "Were" or Anthro artist. Therefore be default the things we draw will look similar. It all comes down to what your characters are doing. Kyoht has a very mythological feel to her work, whereas Goldenwolf has a more street grunge violent/tribal feel. I'd like to think that mine are more fantastic (That's their intent anyway!). In any case, both Goldenwolf and I played the Werewolf RPG game, but Goldenwolf didn't "Copy" whitewolf, and neither did I. It wasn't even my original influence. My original influence was actuall John Talbain. THATS RIGHT!!!!! THE DARK STALKERS!!! Talbain was my favorite character and gave me the idea that a werewolf could run on two legs, or on four depending on choice. That that same werewolf could be independent of the moon. I liked it, and began to draw really bad werewolves. Which brings me to the close of this rant... I kind of find it insulting that although I have been accused of art theft in the past, other artists such as Dark Natasha and Starless (I think that's her... The amazing 16 year old?) aren't. It's like saying because I don't draw that well compared to them and Kyoht and Goldenwolf, that I must have copied their work. I find that really insulting... I mean come on! I'm getting better all the time! Unlike people who have been drawing perspective from the time they were in their mother's womb to the present, I only started to really draw seven years ago. As soon as I get in 16 years experience I'll look that good to!

This isn't pretty, but here it is: A desperate plea for money. Please, I'd like anyone who sees this journal entry to look at my pics and tell me honestly if they would pay money for them, and how much. I know that DA will sell some of my stuff as prints, but what I don't know is who would buy them. So please look at my stuff, and tell me if you like it enough to spend money on it. Why this pathetic begging? I live with my mate and one packmate. In the beginning it was good. However, my mate worked for Albertsons. Now he has been out of a job and health insurance for months while some fat C.E.O. tries to break the union. My pack is desperate, as my mate is having trouble finding a job. I work two jobs, but one boss is cutting my hours. Unfortunately, that same boss is my packmates boss as well, so her hours are getting cut too. My family is a single income family that can't really help us out, and my mate's mom worked for Albertsons too. Also his step-father has some terminal illness, and the bills are just mounting up without their health insurance. So please... if you are reading this, have a heart. If you can't or don't want to buy prints, don't. But please, PLEASE!!!!! DON'T CROSS THOSE PICKET LINES AT THE SUPERMARKETS!!! THE HEARTLESS BASTARDS ARE KILLING MY PACK!!!!
Thanx for the support...
