Well, my university just told me that they accepted my proposal for a Ph.D. and my Master's advisor just told me that I should be able to finish my Masters in one more semester! So for the next 6 months at least, between work and two degrees, I'm gonna have no time to myself to draw anymore . The though depresses me, but I decided to come up with another project to keep myself from getting too caught up in nothing but school. For the last 9-10 years, I've had ideas flowing through my head about a sci-fi story I'd like to put into writing. However, I've never undertaken anything in writing as large as I'm hoping the story will be and I've never been very good as an English writing student. So to prepare myself, I'm going to start writing another smaller story. Its gonna be a zombie story (another idea I've been thinking of for a couple of years) and I'm hoping writing it will help me flesh out how I need to improve as a writer before I try to take on the sci fi story. Hopefully, some of you will follow it (I'll be posting it here as I write it) and with any luck, other people will discover it and critique it!

Happy Holidays to everyone on DeviantArt!

It looks like, prior to passing away last November, Michael did in fact have a finished novel ready for publication, and we're going to be getting it in November. Not only that, Harper Collins is going to try to publish a second posthumous novel that he was only 1/3 of the way through, by hiring a co-writer to work off of the foundation he has already set and the path that his notes follow!

I was drooling at the prospect of at least one posthumous publication, but 2 is more than I could have dreamed for. Almost makes it feel like he never left us...

So here I am, stuck at work in one of the most desolately inhospitable places in the world, Alaska's North Slope.....The only way this gets worse is if we hit Phase 3 on my new scheduled flight out....

Anyone who saw today's Superbowl cannot deny how awesome it was! Both teams had some amazing plays and amazing scoring drives. Mad props to the Cardinals and their fans.

Thank You to everyone who has provided support and criticism and has contributed to helping me reach this point.

I've got an idea for a piece I'd like to do to celebrate, and hopefully, I'll have it ready in the next few days.

In the meantime, I happen to have a large set of scraps that I'll probably post in the next few days.

Hope the new year is starting off well for everyone out there!

I decided back in September to go back to school while I continue to work. I figured I could do both Graduate School and Work full time, but man, I wasn't expecting the combo to be as big a time drain as it is becoming!

Oh well, a few years of this and It'll be all over!

In the next few days, I'll probably bring a scraps gallery up. I don't really have a lot of works that are unfinished or anything like that that I would put in there though; most of the stuff in there will probably end up being the original rough drafts that I came up with for some of my ideas and some of the older designs I had that have aged and since been updated.

At the same time I've been taking a break physically from sketching and haven't made a new sketch in near a month. This is not my longest hiatus from sketching, but I have little motivation currently to actually start a new sketch of finish the handful that are currently left unfinished. Hopefully, I find motivation soon and will be able to start posting new sketches in time.

Thank You to all the people who have already started viewing my work, commenting on it, critiquing it and adding it to favorites. Once again, I'm extremely happy to find so much support online!

Thanks to everyone who's already started viewing and tagging my stuff! It makes me feel good to know that I can find an audience somewhere on the internet, and I hope to be able to browse all of your galleries soon enough!
