Ceramics is kind of taking up a lot of my time right now, but I hope you've sort of been enjoying the few things I've posted. I'll be continuing ceramics in independent study next semester, so you'll be seeing more of it.

I'll take requests for drawings if anyone has ideas; I'm totally open for suggestions right now. I have very little absolutely-have-to-get-done work as of this moment. So throw something up.

How's life, kiddos?

On the bright side, my three year anniversary with my boyfriend is fast approaching, and I must say that for a long-distance relationship we manage just fine. I'll save the mushy-gushy stuff for the actual event. I would like to say I will have a celebratory drawing to post, but i doubt I will. But just in case I'm moved by a sudden spurt of creativity, be on the lookout.

In closing, I'm kind of failing as an "artist" right now, but hopefully I can make some sort of triumphant return after the holidays and I have a nice long break during which to get all crazy-ass creative again.

"Art is like beginning a sentence without knowing its ending."

Have a good day/week/life, everyone.

+Art club

+Ceramics project (we're making tea pots)

+Contract work (Ok, maybe not quite as excited about that, but it's good to get some money, haha.)

+Writing again (I had some major inspiration after not writing poetry for a while. It feels nice)

+Nudie drawing AKA figure modeling (It's fun drawing naked people posing)

+Fall break: I'm going to see my boyfriend in Colorado at the end of the week! I'm pretty sure i'm more excited about this than anything else on this list. Actually I know I am.

+Learning how to crochet (I wanna make cute scarves and hats and gloves!)

+Pep band (it's ridiculously fun-10 times better than high school band)

+Origami (I got some really pretty new paper that a friend sent me from Japan)

+Pumpkin pie (I made some using actual pumpkins instead of the pie filling. yum!)

Hope everybody has a great week!

I took his daughter and son to see Up yesterday (it's ridiculously cute). They complained, didn't thank me, and were generally rude the whole time. When I got home his son demanded that I show him how to play Rock Band, and then he just mindlessly beat on the drums to the same song (he wasn't following the beat mind you) for something like 3 hours. My dad, who definitely favors his male children, refused to do anything about it. My mom, in an effort to calm the general irritation that was rising, suggested that we go out for dinner. His daughter expects me to give her anything of my clothes that she likes.

I'm just super frustrated. I can't draw or anything right now because I'm too busy meeting his kids' every whim.

ALSO THEY LEAVE THE MAT IN THE BATHROOM WET AND SOGGY AFTER TAKING A BATH OR SHOWER. IT IS VERY GROSS LET ME ASSURE YOU. I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE ALL THE FLUIDS THEY LEAVE IN THAT MAT ARE JUST WATER.

EDIT:ITS JUNE FIRST WHICH MAKES ME RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY.

I have been rereading all my Yotsuba&! books thus the title. I have actually been enjoying quite a few things recently. Saw the bf, which was nice. I've been glazing pots lately, which is nice because i don't really have to think about it. I'm planning on doing some sort of big painting thing this summer, but I haven't really planned anything out yet. Also, I have one panel sketched out for a Gabe/Roy/Sang Min/Kitty comic strip. I'm pretty sure it's taken me almost three months to do the one panel. *fail* I've been playing around with watercolor too lately. Unfortunately, I have nothing to show for it as of right now, but hopefully sometime soon I'll do a small painting that doesn't look like a third grader did it. Also, I don't suppose anyone would know about using quills and ink and such instead of say sakura microns? I'm trying to dabble in a little bit of everything this summer.

Any awesome summer plans? Vacations? Concerts?

I really shouldn't even be doing this right now. I have homework and projects to get done, however, I'm clearly addicted to DA...so what the hell.

Second: Building a small tower from the cans of soda I have drunk over the week attracts ants. I don't drink very much soda, but because I'm lazy, I end up leaving each can on my desk. Eventually, I'll get like six or seven cans by the end of the week, and they get in my work space. Since I'm lazy, I just stack them up to get them out of my way. Unfortunately, since it is April, the ants are starting to get active again. I'm not sure where they come in because I spray my room for ants every year, but somehow they always find my can towers. It's stupid of me really, but it still really annoys me. The worst part is that it makes me a hypocrite because I always give my boyfriend a hard time because his room is like crazy messy most of the time. And yet here I am leaving these cans just sitting around to attract bugs. I just made a big trip to the recycling bin, too.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed that little anecdote. I hope it gives you an idea of how exciting my life is. Consequently (backing to more important things now) since I'm doing so many projects for school, I haven't had a chance to really draw anything fun or terribly interesting. I may have some t-shirt designs up; one for the band and one for our drama production. Other than that, you won't be seeing much out of me until well into May.

Read any good books lately?

I don't think I'll be submitting any new art for a while. I'm throwing pots right now, so that's got me pretty swamped. I'm supposed to have 15 "good" ones before May. Yikes! I still have to paintings to complete, plus a final project. I'm not exactly sure when I'm going to have time to do all of that though, so please excuse me if I don't post anything spectacular for a while.

I've also landed a cool job creating logos for small events happening in town, so I'm trying to juggle all of these projects. Luckily for me, the logo assignments are pretty spread out and fairly simple. Most of them don't require too much thought since a committee basically tells me what to do. Lol.

This school year is winding down pretty quickly. I'm really looking forward to summertime. And I miss my boyfriend too much already!! *sigh*

To top it all off this whole long-distance relationship is causing me an ungodly amount of stress. I know it isn't easy, but I would like it to go a little smoother than it has been. *faint*

I did get to work with hot glass in January. It was amazing. It was also fairly challenging. You are constantly moving, whether it's turning the pole with the gather of glass or moving between the firing hole and the shaping tools. The entire class was hands on. I did everything from adding colored glass to the hot gather to shaping it into a sphere using these wooden "spoons" called blocks. The most satisfying part is making the jack line and then just knocking the sphere right off the pole. It's amazing what a little crack can do.

In other news, I think I'm going to lose my mind before March ever gets here, and if I do you'll probably end up reading about me in the news.

Can anyone else believe how fast this year is moving?

But that doesn't mean I condone what's going on. Ok, I suppose of you were just "practicing" or something like that I could understand. However, posting work that you deliberately traced is not really talent. That's just cheap. And lazy. So there ya go, that's my two cents.

In other news, I'm happy to say that my stress level has considerably decreased, but I'm sure now that I've said that I'll get some horrendous assignment this week. Anyway, I've enjoyed a week of pretty good sketches, which is great because I have to turn them all in for review. Heheh.

I've been saying it off and on for a while now, but I'm really contemplating starting a little webcomic type thing. Mostly to encourage me to draw everyday. They'd probably be similar to this: [link] Sort of artsy and yet there would still be a plot. We'll see how long this lasts. Hoo boy...

Read any good webcomics lately? I'm on the prowl for some new stuff.

Put that on top of the stress of everything else lately, and I am ready to pull out my hair. I'm unhappy with my relationship, but everybody just says, "It'll pass, it's probably just your period! Har har har." Ugh. Ok. Great. School is a nightmare. I'm never doing a collaboration like this again.

I'm done complaining for a while now. I swear; it's been two journals in a row now. I am done.

And sometimes I feel like I need to end it before it blows up in my face. Sometimes I feel like everything isn't as it seems, but I'm too blind/naive to see that I'm being lied to. Lately I just feel like going to sleep and never waking up. I have this inexplicable feeling of dread about a lot of things. I guess no matter how many times I'm reassured, I'll always feel some measure of doubt, I just wish that I was able to ignore it a little better.

I have a lot of things to look forward to as well, but I feel like it's too good to be true. I think it's difficult when the people who mean the most are far away.

The post-holiday gloom has set in, and I'm fairly certain the absence of my boyfriend is amplifying the feeling. I wish spring would come immediately after winter. I'm tired of this freezing weather. I'm trying really hard not to turn this journal into a rant. Blaaaah.

I'm going to try and post sketches a little more often, but first I actually have to have sketches to post.

Did everyone have a good Christmas? (Kind of late, I know.)

This holiday is depressing me this year. The remarkable greed of the world has never been so apparent to me until now. Perhaps because I'm a little more independent that I used to be. Seriously, was trampling a Wal-Mart employee worth getting all those "great deals?" I'm trying to fend of the winter gloom until after Christmas, but I'm afraid it might come a little early this year.

Due to the sheer awesomeness of I've been more than a little distracted with a new toy. He bought me a heat press. It's too awesome for words. So I'm not going to try. Anyway, I've been printing t-shirts, so maybe I'll post some here sometime.

So how much decorating do you do for Christmas?

It's been a while since I've posted a journal, but I really haven't had anything to say until now I guess. I have several design projects I'm working on right now. I've entered a few art contests, one of which includes drawing a design including dairy products and milk that will be painted on the side of a life-size cow. It's called "The Sound of Moo-sic." Ha. Ha. Ha. The others are just side projects I took on because I love stress. There was a ton of sarcasm in that previous statement. I'm trying something new this time too. I'm going to make a small moving graphic, and hopefully it will be used on a website. I'm kind of agonizing over all this stuff right now.

On a side note, I play the bass clarinet, and it broke. I have a band festival on Monday the 27th. My clarinet won't be fixed by then. So I either won't go, or I'll be playing with a clarinet that only plays three notes. Right on.

On the bright side, November is coming up, and a lot of important things are happening next month. I'm excited.

How art thou?

In regards to drawing, I'm not really sure what happened there. I'm hoping that I can maybe get back into the drawing mood soon, however writing is just so much easier for me right now. I've been working nonstop on a few school projects so maybe once those are completely done I'll be able to look at a sketchpad without bursting into tears. (It's not that bad.)

I'm so ready for this election to be over. I'm tired of the debates and commercials and news articles about this or that candidate. Bah. Politics has just gone to crap. Ok, so that's not new, but maybe I'm just more aware of it now. End of politics rant.

I found this K-pop band called TVXQ. They're like a boy band. I like them. Also, The Forbidden Kingdom is a really good movie. I heard a lot of bad reviews about it, but I'm a sucker for kung fu movies. Also I love Jackie Chan and Jet Li. It made me so happy that Jackie's character was a drunken scholar.

I thought I was going to get a job, but I guess I'm not now. Ehehehe. I'm lazy. ^_^;

Other than that I'm pretty happy with life right now. Except I wish I could get past this drawing block. It's not that I don't have ideas, I just can't seem to sit long enough to get them on paper. Haha. I have spring fever in the fall or something like that.

I know I promised drawings and photos, none of which are up yet, but I'll have a shot of my fused glass up soon. I've almost finished the first two designs in a series for my art class. So maybe those will show up too. Who knows?

I feel like my mojo or whatever you want to call it has finally come back. So hopefully I can start pumping out more sketches soon.

I've been considering for a while now writing about my characters Kerith and Janek. They would be very short stories mind you. It wouldn't be anything serious. I just don't want to put the effort into it right now if no one is interested though. Right now I have a lot of other projects on my plate, so I'm trying to narrow my sights down to things my watchers will want to see or read. On the other hand I am still willing to take suggestions for drawings. I need a few ideas for sketches for my art class.

If you're a girl in need of an interesting read, check out The Daring Book for Girls. There is a book for boys as well. It's an amazing book written by two women who understand that a girl's life should be about more than ipods, computers, and television.

I've been struggling with a painting for my art class for over a month now. My prof has graciously suggested letting me take a break from it, but I'm afraid that if I stop I'll never finish it. So maybe the stress of getting it done is blocking off my creative flow.

My boyfriend is leaving for Colorado for the remainder of his first year at the Air Force. I'm kinda bummed about him leaving again. But it has been an awesome three weeks with him.

I'm actually working on something right now, unfortunately it is not my Fairy Tale. Sorry to disappoint the few of you who still read it. I've been informed of its Mary Sue-ness. So yeah I'm working on other things. *shrugs* I love it, but maybe that one will just have to stay an internet project.

Hope the rest of you are having an awesome break. It's gonna be great in '08. Yikes.

My bf liked the jet so I'm relieved about that. Got a lot of cool stuff. The best being a Nintendo DS and a tracing table. Now I'm back home and waiting for the inevitable post-holiday gloom to set in.

Oh. And if you're looking to go see a movie, go see I Am Legend. Really great. How was your holiday?

Hello all. I'm in a bit of a pickle right now. I'm painting an F-22 fighter jet, and could use some tips on technical drawings. Does anyone happen to know a good website with tutorials maybe? Or even have tips themselves? I'm trying my best, but drawing up the darn thing was hard enough.

Other than that I'm enjoying a relatively lazy weekend. It's been snowing nonstop here, but it is kind of nice to have a white winter for once. I've got finals this week too. Bleh. More work.

Hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season.

School has kept me pretty swamped lately but I have managed to post a few things. Not as many as I would have liked of course.
I'm trying to find some inspiration for my fairy tale, but nothing is coming of course. I've been teaching myself the piano. Not as fun as I imagined. Other than that, I've been trying to keep ahead of my homework and still relax.

How's life?

I haven't read any good books lately. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

In other news, well there is no other news. Ever heard of a band called Freezepop? They made their major debut on Guitar Hero. They recently released their first CD. Listen to them if you like techno rock.

How's life for you? Tell me a story.

I have a leadership retreat Thursday and Friday so I'll be busy with even more work this weekend.

And on top of all this work, one of my best friends committed suicide this weekend. It hasn't been the best of times for me. What a homecoming...

How are you faring?

Just thought I'd let everyone know that I am working on it.

In other news, my boyfriend called me this morning at 12 08, 11 08 for him, to tell me that tomorrow he officially becomes a part of the cadet wing in the Air Force. It was nice to hear from him. Long distant relationships really suck butt, but it's times like those that make it all worth it, I think.

Been rather busy getting ready for school. Hopefully this is my last year, but I'm not sure. I've been taking some classes over the summer, but there are so many things I want to do I'm not sure if I can finish this year. Bah.

How's life? Sad that summer is coming to an end? I am.

I love my sister's boys, but a week of them is enough. Although I did get to go to some awesome places. St. Louis has a great free zoo. If you're in the area go there. It's amazing. The penguin house is the best. The Art Museum is really great too. And right Next to it is Forest Park. It's the country's second largest city park. There's a giant greenhouse there called the Jewel Box. Admission inside is a dollar. ONE FREAKIN DOLLAR. The history museum is cool too. Also. Right near the SLU campus is the St. Louis symphony building and the Fabulous Fox Theater (that's it's real name). Simply amazing.

How was everyone else's week? I hope you got to do some fun things too!

(Shop at the Galleria mall near SLU as well)

I'll probably have time to work on the Fairy Tale though. But unfortunately my other two gifts will have to wait until Friday. I can definitely work on them during the week, but you won't get them until the end of the week. So sorry!

Hope everybody had a good week! How are you doing?
