So I don't interact with many artsy people in my day-to-day...
... I met most of my online art friends years ago in places I no longer frequent and we're online much less now.

... so where do artists hang out nowadays?
I need some peer pressure to draw more, but don't know where to look.

DA is nice and all, but can be pretty one-way as far as interaction goes.

Any suggestions are welcome :)... ]]> http://tirael.deviantart.com/journal/Streaming-off-282452871 http://tirael.deviantart.com/journal/Streaming-off-282452871 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:25:26 PST Streaming....

1) Finish at least one art piece every month (and post to DA)
2) Take art classes

I've been pretty absent for a while~
I feel disconnected from DA and art in general since it's not currently a big part of my life.
I've also never been good at making conversation here to begin with...

So here's a small attempt to remedy all that!

If you're still around and haven't totally forgotten me, please comment and...
a) Introduce yourself...
b) Ask me a question...
c) Tell me a story ...
d) All of the above? ]]> http://tirael.deviantart.com/journal/Otakon-Space-Found-C-219384339 http://tirael.deviantart.com/journal/Otakon-Space-Found-C-219384339 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 18:09:42 PDT Otakon Space Found C:.. nonadult journals/personal Tirael http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/i/tirael.gif?7 Copyright 2011-2013 ~Tirael :devorenji-kun::deverina: were kind enough to offer me some space, so it looks like I'll be attending Otakon this year!

I'm on the waiting list for Otakon Artist Alley and want to make sure that I have space before spending the time and money to get ready :S...

Otakon is the closest convention to where I live and one of the few I still try to attend.
If you or anyone you know has table space and are willing to share... please help me out?

Why you should share your table with me:
1. I'll pay for my portion of the table.
2.

"It's not a race because there's no finish line."
... sometimes I get depressed if I see other artists who seem to be improving 'faster' than me etc... but you know what? People go at their own pace and it's more important to enjoy the scenery. Art is one of those areas where there's always room for improvement and exploration~

But I feel the need to vent today. I've been pretty frustrated lately with myself and with those around me and here's why.

I'm currently a Senior undergrad student in a university studying Statistics. That's right - statistics, not art. While I can't say it's my passion in life, there are worse things to study, and I feel that Statistics is an area that I'm not bad in and one that I can see the immediate applications of. I have an extra semester in the fall to take before graduation, and then I should be done.
