Hey everybody
I have a little thing to ask if its not to much to ask that is.

I have been slowly running out of money. I only work 2 days out of the week and go to college for the other 5 days. My money is slowly running out and I really need some commissions. I know that these are hard times but even the smallest gesture would be greatly appreciated.

I also have a few things for sale too if anybody wants one. I posted a image in my scraps which I have linked below showing my inventory of what I brought with me from Oregon to hopefully help with art supplies, food, and rent.

I see so many people geting commissions here and it disheartens me that I dont get any. What am I doing wrong? My prices are very similar to other artists? I know drawing wise I have a little ways to go but even so I've seen other works that make mine look good that people got commissioned to do. Is it just me or am I fading into the shadows to never be seen?

I have my own website... [link]
I am on FurAffinity... [link]
I am on ArtSpots... [link]
I am on ConceptArt... [link]
I am on 2 costuming forums... [link] & [link]
I am on 2 sculptors forums... [link] & [link]
I am on DeviantArt... [link]
I am on MySpace... [link]
I am on Twitter... [link]
I am on Facebook... [link]

I am on YouTube... [link]

And yet nothing... Nothing at all. No commissions! I don't get it... I feel rejected in a way... Not sure why im a bit emo this morning but *sighs*...

Go back to what you were doing... I have to get to work soon....

You would think after all these years of doing art I wouldn't have any problems right? Nope... Freaking hell I get frustrated. Heck I almost walked out of the life drawing session in the Figure Drawing class after I snapped my generic #2 pencil in half and tossed it in the corner. After having a teachers assistant and the teacher saying (this is not aligned right or thats wrong there or this is too bulbous or thats not placed right) all f'ing day, I couldn't get proportions right and I was about to make a scene, I was already cussing under my breath constantly. Luckily I was able to chill in an adjacent room. I hate being 31 and having these damn kids out do me at art. Either that or they make it look so f'ing easy! I could go on forever.. any how I'm feeling better now that I am home. Got English and art history tomorrow at 9am.

Honestly I am still a bit ticked about not getting proportions right or anything else for that matter. What the fuck was I doing all 6.5 years at that 2 year college taking art classes? I was working and studying my ass off. And even now 5 years later with 2 AA degrees I still cant draw proportions right. ARGH!!! $%*^&*^*#&^#*$&^#*$&*^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok got light headed an hour ago just talking to a friend. WTF? Ok so I went to the frige and ate a salad I made consisting of chopped onion and tomato with ranch dressing. Im ok now but damn..

Guess living on my own means learning how to eat properly without mom cooking for me. heh...
I dont want to do the pastas because they have fat in them. I want to keep the fatty unhealthy foods out of my diet.

Todays meals were Cerial, Pickle, smoothie, salad.
====================================================================================================




Its been 2 weeks since I've moved from Oregon and it seems that I haven't had one Shred of meat. Ive been having my delicious smoothies and salads and sandwiches but not a Slice of meat. Seems that the only reason I ever ate meat was because my mom or dad cooked it. Personally I could care less about preparing meat to eat. Though I do like fish and chicken, I have yet to consume any of that since I moved.
I am not a vegan though because I do eat eggs and drink milk.



So in short heres what my daily diet has been on average. Give me your thoughts and comments...

Breakfast consists of Cherioes with sliced banana *no sugar* and 2% milk, Sometimes with a cinnamon raisin bagel.

I don't eat lunches anymore.. No reason to have a lunch. The less you make your body work the healthier and longer you live. Scientifically proven in lab tests.

Dinner varies...
I had hash browns with sliced tomatoes and a salad with ranch dressing.
A $5. foot long subway sandwich which i eat only half for dinner and save the other have for the next days dinner. Lots of veggies in that one

Spaghetti with Vegetarian Sauce and I added chopped onion, bell peppers, etc. I do admit I chopped up a polish sausage in it.

A peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a sandwich with salad in it and sliced tomatoes.
So far thats all I can remember...

Oh ya I forgot the smoothie! My smoothie is a banana & Tropical fruit mix with 2% milk. Mixed in the "Magic Bullet" mini blender. Delicious!!! If you want to make one heres how I do mine.
1. banana split in half *cause i cant fit it in my mini blender*
fill the container 3/4 full with orange juice or tropical fruit mix
fill the rest of the container 1/4 full with milk
Blend till its a smoothie consistency and serve.
I don't use ice.



I will be going back down to the "Fresh & Easy" grocery store and get asparagus, carrots, as well as a few other things.. The fridge looks a bit empty on my side.

Oh and as far as I can tell if you cook vegetables or even fruits if thats your thing, you may get more flavor but you also are cooking out the vitamins that you really need. So raw veggies are a good thing
Well that is unless your going to eat rhubarb and thats poisonous if its not cooked.

Anyhow I just want your thoughts and opinions..

Kind of odd eh? A lover of carnivorous animals like dragons and Raptors and all those critters and I'm eating veggies all the time lol! Hope the critters don't see me as a snack.

Ive been dabbling in ufo stuff off and on when i get the interest and I came accross this video. Seems to make a lot of sense to me.

What do you think?

Oh and theres another bit of information thats not pleasant at all.. Nasa tends to send off a 2 megaton bomb on the moon which breaks all celestial laws of the UN. This will occur on October 9th. repair for stellar war people. Man I wish I had my space ship built.... *sighs*

Very Emo right now.. Dont take any of this personally..

I just got to watch this film and it brought all my feelings about the human race (which are mostly negative) to the surface and magnified them 100 fold. This movie shows the true human nature. No matter how civilized humans think they are they will always be primitives and therefore any alien species who finds themselves near earth be warned its not a safe planet to visit. I only wish I wasn't born human. I want to be a non terrestrial species. Get me as far away from the humans as possible!!! I am glad that Christopher and his son made it to the ship and could go home. *You know, even after 3 hours my heart still is wrenched and emotions are hard. Anger & frustration towards the humans. Hope and sadness for the aliens who were unjustly titled Prawns and treated badly. If this situation ever happens in the future while I am still alive "currently 30 years old" I would help the aliens and then go with them. To hell with the human race! Damn them in their own foul and retched existence!

If you have the "Prehistoric Times dinosaur magazines" could you please donate them to the Raptor Arts studio. Ill pay for S&H if you don't want to deal with it. All magazines will go towards education and will be used to further artistic creativity. So in short they will go to a very good cause.

I'm in my room and its a very nice place "Town House" the couple that own it are very nice and very friendly. I left a message for "Lindsy Farr" (the gal in admissions) to remove me from the housing list but to call me Monday because the couple have a spare room and I suggested it would be perfect for an LCAD student

Good karma

Anyhow Just to let everybody know that every thing is going very well.

Oh and I stumbled uppon the Ivrive Complex or so I think thats what its called. OMFG!!!!!!! O..O That place is freaking AMAZING!!!!!!! It has a carosel and a ferris wheel there and tons of shops and restaraunts. OMFG!!!!
