I'm working on a few more posters continuing with the theme of the Freak Show thing, then applying for MFA candidacy so I can get started on my show and such. I just can't wait for this semester to be over. Almost done and then I have to get a job. arg. <br /><br />Bianca<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's official. I had my first sale. Someone actually bought my art in a gallery. That's definitely a first for me and a great triumph. I never thought someone would look at what I create and say "hey that's pretty great. I think I want that and I'll pay real American dollars for it." Well, maybe not in those exact words, but you know what I mean. This is definitely a high point for me that is opening up doors and options and giving me hope towards my dreams. I'm really happy and proud of myself for the first time in a looooooooong time. I guess I have to keep going on this feeling and follow through with everything that I have in mind <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Oh and Art Basel was fantastic. I found so much inspiration, I can't wait to start messing around with all the ideas bubbling up inside of me!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been working on some cool illustrations with hand-drawn typography (a lot harder than I thought!!!) and I can't wait to post them. Life is good, school is good and work is good <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> I've been building up my client list and I can't wait to redo my website AGAIN!

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I just finished my summer minimester class and i did some pretty cool stuff that I'm happy about. It's a continuation of my nudes, but now I am exploring the "grotesqueness of burlesque and vaudeville." Now that I'm done for the summer, my plans are to update my website with all my new stuff from the past year (yea it's been a year or so since I've put up new work and I have soooo much of it)! So, hopefully I'll get the ball rolling on that and then start my internship with a local Miami magazine <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Cheers!<br /><br />Bianca<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I have my first walk-through this Wednesday at 3pm and I'm really nervous, but I'm happy about my new nude series. It's been awhile since I've really LOVED my work, so I'm feeling confident about it right now. I hope that my committee feels the same way! I'm hoping to redo my entire website by the end of the semester, but no promises on that. I'm tired of the color scheme and I have new inspirations, so I hope can do it. I've almost finished my first paid website, so I'll link that when it goes live <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Anyways things are ok... they could be better. But, I think I'm going to make it this semester.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm at this point in my life where I feel so extremely lost. I'm hurting constantly, whether it's money problems, car problems, boy problems, or what my future holds. I'm still waiting to hear if I got into UM grad school and it's killing me. I want to know if I'm moving forward in my life, not standing still; and that is exactly where I am: at a plateau. I haven't progressed since I graduated from Vassar. <br />
<br />
I've lived on my own, paying my rent, food and bills/loans but I haven't progressed towards my dreams. I know I want to be an artist, a graphic designer of some sort, but I guess I'm not sure exactly what. I don't want to limit myself because today, in this world, flexibility is key. I just started modeling and it's really taught me a lot, so far nothing big has happened yet, but I don't want to give up. Right now, I feel like modeling is the only positive thing in my life. All my dreams of being an artist feel so far away and so unattainable, and ironically the artificiality of modeling makes me happy. I can pretend to be someone else. I can pretend to be confident, beautiful, smart, strong, I can be anyone. The more I force myself to be busy the less I realize how lonely I really am. <br />
<br />
I feel lost and alone. I've lost touch with friends and family. I've alienated myself from everyone and everything. I never feel like I belong anywhere, whether it's in school or at my part-time job. I feel hopeless, useless, unloved and unappreciated. I hurt like I always do, but I've stopped hurting myself. That is an improvement. I'm tired and sad and I'm sick of being like this. Why am I never happy no matter where I am? I know I need to think of good energy and good vibrations, but it's hard when I can't stop crying. My eyes are puffy and red and I can't see anymore. I can't see myself or the screen. Suicide is only a fantasy and not an option, but it's becoming all so real in my mind.<br />
<br />
I'm alone right now. Lost and alone.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been awhile since I've been on here. The only reason I started deviantart is because of my boyfriend Haloverse, but he got booted, so now I am left alone <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> But, I decided to upload some of my most recent work that I care about to share with everyone. Let me know what you guys think! Love and Hope to all the struggling artists out there!<br />
