--PLEASE DO NOT POST OR USE ANY OF MY WORK WITHOUT CREDITING ME BY PUTTING MY NAME AND A LINK TO ME--

Otherwise, you don't have to ask me cause I'm very very bad at replying to comments. I'm thankful that people have notified me of stealing and such, but I'm even more thankful of people that have posted/featured my work- you make me blush!

Now here's a little update about what I've been up to-
I graduated from UMiami and have been dabbling in random jobs and commissions for several months. I have my own site! http:/www.shannonmcnamaradesign.com
I'm hoping to go to graduate school for computer arts. I have tons of new artworks which I maaayyy share on here but we'll see! So I send you love and hope that everybody is doing well and filling the world with much needed imagination and creativity. <3

Hello there, many many thanks for all the watches and favoriting! It's always nice to know people are enjoying what I make. One day I'll have to just spend a few hours on here and add everybody back who added me! I wish the watch page system were easier/faster to use. Or maybe I just don't know how to use it properly.

Haha.

Anyways, I've got a lovely non-art related job now, but I am still open to commissions! I've been trying to beef up my portfolio, so perhaps I'll show you what I come up with. Requests and suggestions are cool too, I just may or may not get to them

I'm supposed to graduate soon, so academics are my top focus. How fun!

Hey all my dears, I've moved back to Miami with strong hopes of getting a job I can work at while I finish school- but as yet I'm waiting for my applications to be processed... and I'm running really tight on money (somehow I keep going broke), so, I've had an idea! -

I can do some pretty cheap commissions for you all, if you are at all interested comment or note me or anything! I can make digital art for $8 every hour it takes me- and I work very fast- so say, something like 'The Mighty' would cost about $24. A logo design would only be $8. I've got paypal and all, so it's pretty easy. If you want traditional art that I can make and ship to you, that can be arranged as well, but of course it's a lil more expensive because of materials and shipping. So, send me a note, or email me at shaniebanannie@comcast.net if you have an inkling of an interest!

There is no other group of people or community that I would rather do something like this for- you all ave been extremely supportive of me for 4 years now, and going strong! So, thanks, and I mean it. Hah, I've gotta go check out people's galleries who have watched me in the last few months, tata for now!

I'll be out of the country soon though, very exciting! Ok, that's all.

So... after a long break I return! And I will actually be submitting some work for your viewing pleasure. I'm starting my 6th semester here at UM, and my only art class is figure drawing 2. I have an art history class, but the rest are science classes such as cell molecular biology, endocrinology, and an easy version of organic chemistry. Hurrah! It's going to be rough I can tell

And for this summer, maybe some study abroad in Italy? I'm looking at art classes in Florence. Anybody have any experience with either SRISA or the Firenze Arti Visive?

Hey lookie here!
Coming soon: some nudes I've drawn in figure drawing class- yes, people! How exciting. --I do believe it's one of my favorite classes. And you know what else is exciting? 21 years ago I was born on this day. I'm going camping in the FL Keys this weekend to celebrate.

It feels like summer but it's not! Anyways, spring break is good, I've been looking around and realising how beautiful everything is, how untamed everything around us really is, no matter how much we feel we have made a mark on it. I can't find motivation to crack open a textbook, all I really want to do is create, capture amd cultivate what I've found myself. And in case you were horribly upset that I'm not pursuing art as a profession, you would probably be happy to know that I'm very seriously considering changing that. Yup. It just feels so much more right. Good for the soul, using what I've got, you name it. So keep an eye out

Hello.

Things are going well in the art world (mine anyways). I'm on track to be a scientific illustrator, but I'm coming at it from the scientific angle because I don't really need to learn how to draw all over again. I'm still a science major. I get to buy new art supplies though, hurrah! And today is Friday, hurrah!

AHHH some crazy days have been happening. Lucky you I've jumped back into getting some artwork done! Actually, lucky me... I get a bit out of it if I don't get anything done. So, I'm around and steadily getting stuff done, such as veryyy old requests (like 4000th pageview presents still...

). Professional Procrastinator here. At least on things I'm not actually being graded on. I'm actually thinking of making a business card for it, if I ever get around to it.

So, no more super version of SMcNonnahs as of tomorrow (my subscription is up whaaaaaa). And this has been an interesting week. Hurricane Wilma had a fun time with south Florida and I don't have class till Monday. We've had the entire week off. I haven't been off campus since before the hurricane hit. I haven't seen television because the cable is out. I am SO HAPPY I have internet though. And food and water too, of course. To give you an idea of what it was like; I live on the 10th floor of a hurricane-proofed concrete tower. And it was noticeably rocking back and forth when the strong gusts hit us. It was like I was on a boat, but not that strongly. All's well here now- we have power because our campus is on the same grid as a hospital. AND in other news... look for artwoerk coming within the next few weeks, I got a nice present for my bday that will help me be more productive with my digital arts!

Two days into classes, and we have hurricane Katrina give our campus a friendly little visit (aka direct hit)! Just to give you an idea, they didn't cancel classes till 6 pm (which by then we were having flying debris,rain and strong gusts). In the course of my day being outside, I've had to change out of drenching wet clothes three times. Yes, I couldn't find my art class because the building is actually nowhere near the art department! So I was riding around on my bike for somewhere around 45 minutes in pouring rain, following inaccurate directions while umbrellaless because I can't carry one while riding. My raincoat was unfortunately locked in my car in a very far away location, so poor me I got quite soaked- at one point I just gave up on it. Nobody expected the storm to move in that fast. So last night was fun, many people's rooms got drenched from the wind pushing rain through every little crevice. Water leaked about 9 or 10 feet down the length of the hall from the stairwell doors, streaming through the doorseams horror-movie style. We had fun shoving towels across the floor to keep it out of peoples rooms. And outside it looks like there was a palm frond war last night- their dead are strewn everywhere in sight, along with the remains of posters and all kinds of pieces of tree and leaves. Everything is frayed.

Well since I'm definitely one of those people who can write on and on, producing words and subjects like a marathon runner would produce strides... (yeah right), I think it's time for me to update. So here goes:

I'm starting classes soon. So I might be... inactive around here. But maybe not! I'm taking an intro level art course and I'm very happy about that I think. Is it evil of me to try to see how long I can go in that class without being ousted to a higher level? I don't know. I could use an easy A... How horrible of me to say that huh. Ah weel such is my situation.

And ladies and gentlemen I am at a loss for words. Only sometimes can I be a writer. ...I guess I could write stories but when it comes to myself my words fall short.

Sooo, here I am sitting around surrounded by a roomful of crap. But it is crap that shall be sorted and organized and packed, going back to UM with me next week. Should be a fun and productive year, and I hope to get even more artwork done... hopefully I'll be acquiring a wacom tablet for my birthday-- I can only dream! Lucky me I get to haul two 24" x 48" canvases with me so I can paint some antique-looking still life with seashells. Maybe the finished products shall end up posted on here, eh?

I need to find myself some employment. Last year I worked in a lab researching phytoplankton growth (pretty much algea, like red tide and the like). I would love to do something art related this semester. I can do cheap (in price not quality) commissions if you're interested. Note me if you like. Poor college student I am, and I can't say I don't love it.

I think I shall go stare at the sky now.

ANYWAYS I will say it again, although I'm trying to change, I am horrible at giving feedback or replying to comments! I just don't know what to say. I pretty much always answer questions though, those are easy to find something to say. I've never been one to respond well to praise or compliments though, no matter how many I get... it just makes me stumble in my bashfulness.

So I'm more of a behind the scenes person apparently; I like to see people's reactions to my work without me being there- it's much more flattering than having me there and getting compliments directed at me! Can't take it aghhhh! *runs away* It's all good though, if I get notes or questions you're pretty much guaranteed to get a response.

I don't know how many people actually read this though... BUT if you are reading it, I need your help! I, like the stoopid little internetilliterate person that I am, DO NOT know how to post other people's or club avatars (as links to their page). Which is sad because I am part of some clubs and yet have no idea what I'm doing. Don't let the art fool you, I am indeed a digital moron!
