promise there will be uploads before the month is out.


i think i just bit off too many projects at once, and am too distracted by trying to be inspired enough to do them all.


at once.


its just not an especially creative environment in my brain right now. ideas and images, but nothing coming out into the real world.



should be fixed soon.

i apologize.

haven't been on my desktop compu much due to time. oh the wonders of being a mother.

so instead! i use my insomnia to check on messages and things with my iphone. unfortunately dA is a not very friendly site for the iphone so i am not on very often here, but i am on FURAFFINITY very often as it is easier on my phone.

ALSO! i have an ART TWITTER! i use my insomnia and easy cameraphone uploading capabilities to upload random bits of art, and its a great way to communicate with me as i am on twitter nearly all day long. you can see the gallery for all them things here: [link]

also: this is my personal twitter which has more personal updates and photos of my daughter <3: [link]

i am slowly working on art. it feels really great to be working on art for ME again. i've also got a pretty big handful of commissions lined up (see list below).. but i never seem to have enough time to scan things anymore. HOPEFULLY SOON. i have not abandoned you yet! <3!

annnd that's it!

ps: any other iphone art users out there? we should start a petition to get a dA uploader app!!! also: any good drawing apps? whats your favorite and why?

right now i am partial to "sketchbook mobile express" because of the simulated pressure sensitivity. looks great for hair. AND! its currently a FREE app! very impressive! my other favorite is LAYERS <# it responds the best to touch and reminds me of oekaki (shipainter) and it's great. brushes i tolerate lol.

dA is becoming too overwhelming for me to be very active on it with my limited time. i look at some pictures, read a couple journals and MAYBE if i am feeling generous, i will comment, but not usually.

i will still update here on occassion. but i am mostly posting/being active on fur affinity, so if you use that you can check up there.

for those of you still interested in octi-ink, ITS STILL HAPPENING. if you want more information about what this project is and how to get involved please note me or EMAIL: octi.ink @ gmail.com

i soon will most likely be taking a job at a hospital working 12hr shifts, which means probably for the first month of that, i will be dead tired and non-existant on the internet.

at the current, work is still not paying off very well and i would love to take a few small commissions if anyone is interested. there's a link to info below.

i don't even lj much anymore, but i use twitter. you can add teh_moko , or follow my updates on my dA page. sometimes there is drawings.

my netbook is still broken.




MY DAUGHTER. DAHLIA. WILL BE ONE YEAR OLD SOON. WTF. we are having a cook-out party with the theme of fish. we are going to the aquarium too. and getting her a pet fish. FUCK YEAH.

ps: jack and i just agreed that saying "daughter" sounds weird... like she's just a baby that hangs out with us. a baby friend. our BBFF. yeah. lol we're awsum parents.

also: i remember that the harvesters group here was banned because deviantart didn't allow hate groups... they hated stupid people. so why can people post art or proudly procclaim they hate any other group of people? its sort of a double standard. and i hate.

if you care, or have been watching me forever, i HAVE done this before! (old: [link]) but i will share new answers... i also did one specific to art: [link]

in case you're interested in me.


1- i prefer manga over anime. by faaarrr. but the only manga i own the complete sets of are MARS and DearS. i have not been in the manga loop in years.

2- I HATE when people are not honest about things they used like. if you liked it once, don't diss it like you hate it. own up to it PLEASE. for example, many people would not admit they were huge fans of backstreet boys, eiffel 65, spice girls, even like britney spears music if they looked goth on the outside... WELL. I LIKED THEM ALL.

3- i remember the other day... about the exact instant i knew it wouldn't work between me and my ex... he said "star wars is stupid." we didn't break up over that, but i remember thinking "well... this shit isn't going to work anymore..." .... i drew a picture about it. it was about 3-4 months before we broke up. when i found the picture the other day, i lol'd about it because i was right.

4- i am EXTREMELY, PAINFULLY, almost CRIPPLINGLY shy. i have a hard time asking our server at a resturant for condiments or things, and will usually just eat without what i want so i don't bother them. which is INSANITY because i work as a server, talking with strangers ALL DAY LONG and as soon as i am on the other side of the table, i get all weird... and moreover, it's mostly in front of my boyfriend, and i don't do it as much if i am by myself, or with other people. but him.. and my family... fuck, why?

5- i have it in my head that i will be a surrogate mother one day. i haven't really talked publicly about that as it has some stigma.... but my pregnancy with dahlia was SO VERY EASY compared to most people, that i figured i could give life to someone who couldn't.... but i don't really want to do it for a straight couple, because it's still relatively easy for them to adopt, whereas there are so many things still in place to make it harder for a gay couple to have children, and i want to do what i can to fix that...

6- my favorite shoes are boots. i also wear flip flops a lot. .... they are prettymuch the exact oppostire of each other...

7- i stopped dressing overly rocker goth black DOOMFACE like i did before because i am lazy. and cheap. seriously hot topic, i LOVE your tripp pants, but my cheap ass is NOT paying over 50$ for that shit. .. which is why i started wearing straps on my belt... get the look without the price... then i stopped because i worked too much, and then just got too lazy to do it on my off days...

8- everyone knows i love moths. most people can figure i like entomology. some people knew i was in an entomology class. but certain critters freak me out. i used to be scared of bees, they still make me uneasy. anything FLYING AT ME, makes me nervous. silverfish creep me out. and plz don't have them crawl on me, omg. i like LOOKING AT other bugs :0 moths and butterflies are the only ones i would handle.

TAGSIES:



bonus 9- i had to look in my devwatch for people to t... ]]> *tomoko-nyo http://tomoko-nyo.deviantart.com/journal/25771321/ http://tomoko-nyo.deviantart.com/journal/25771321/ Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:56:40 PDT [link]

ANYTHING is greatly appreciated!

i had more (as in how MUCH they are getting) and quicker response than i excpected and i thank you guys very much.

because of this i can really only take on one more small commission, if anyone is at all intersted...

to-draw list:
1. ~jaggedtoothgrin- full sketchbook (Paid)
2. scarseagull @ fa - 2 full drawings, 2 bookmarks(sketched), cut-ups
3. pinkle@ fa- index card (paid)

(( man it feels good to be actively drawing again :3 should be some uploads soon ))


someone should make a wiki or wikifur page about me. BECAUSE I'M EGOTISTICAL.

]]> *tomoko-nyo http://tomoko-nyo.deviantart.com/journal/25753886/ http://tomoko-nyo.deviantart.com/journal/25753886/ Sun, 05 Jul 2009 13:09:27 PDT
here's the gist guys:

i work as a server. servers don't work many hours to begin with, but i have gotten less in the past few weeks. we also only get paid by tips. more people have been stiffing us in the past few weeks than i ever seen (i got stiffed 3 times one day. that was potentially 20$ i was expecting and did not get. it adds up very quickly through the week)

so i am making drastically less than i usually do.

you may be wondering why i work this job then, if it's not stable. it's so i can stay home in the daytime to be with my daughter, and so we don't have to pay for child care. it's better for her, and i don't have to leave her in the hands of a stranger.


so i currently have enough to pay for things and food for dahlia. and thats about it. as long as she's taken care of i don't really mind...

but i would really like to take on a few comissions. i really need the extra cash.

here's my commission info:[link]

i'll do five at a time, if anyone is interested at all.

and so you know: all the moneys from this round of commissions will be PURELY for paying bills and buying food. anything left over from it will be fed into the octi-ink project, in which those commissioners will get special prizes/deals whenever i get octi-ink off the ground.

thanks guys.

you can follow me or just check up on my feed below every once in a while. most of these are done well after midnight (eastern time). just click the twitpic links. they'll either be drawings or photos from my life.


has some old art recently uploaded. more to come soon. when i post everything from ym back up discs, then i will scan some stuff.



i should go back to sleep. there is no reason to be awake with only like 3 hours of sleep...when i can just go back to sleep very easily.

i am thinking of uploading most of it to my other account *Monkee-Kat... but if no one really wants it, i probably won't. or if i do, just make a gallery add-on on octi-ink.com


i might just scan a lot of old fanart for my friends. there's a fuckton that never saw the light of day.



but on the plus side, it has inspired me a bit to draw more. might be drawng some old characters i forgot i had.

but it could hold you over until i actually draw. so... meehhhhdsjkfs?

LIKE.

IS COMING HEERRRE. thursday. and i am so excited. and then SATURDAY. we're driving up to indiana to go see NIN. HOLY. POOOO.

i wrote a thing about me in highschool. and in one part i said how much i wanted to hang out with wayah all the time. LOL AND NOW I CAN.


ALSO. everyone should go commission her (i'd say me too, but i suck at getting them done). so we can buy lots of nin stuff because we're horrible fangirls like that.


or just... give me your lunch money or i'll beat you up!!



also, does anyone say leet/1337/l33t anymore??? i found some old bracelets that say that... and i'm pretty sure if i wore them no one would know what it was.....

its why i haven't been online much or drawing much (because i was doing good for a while there!). but yes, right now i am working on a big, very big project.the few of you who follow my lj knows about it, but don't be tellin' fools. it's going to have a huge debut..... or atleast that's how it rolls in my head.

should be gettin' goin' here in about a month. which would be COOL if it were earlier ... coz then *wayah can see it in PERSON when she's HERE. HAHAHAHAHAA.


also: i really love. that my hate art drawing STILL gets attention. about once a month i'll get a new comment or fav on it. it just makes me giggle when the person is like "YEAH FUCK FURRIES" when... that's.. not what it's about. it just makes me go "MAN. YOU TOTALLY FOUND THAT ON SOMEONE ELSE'S PAGE. because if you looked at my gallery there's no way you'd be saying that! and now that you've added it to your faves i am laughing at you in my head. coz ur dum. kthx. <3"


plz flame me now

just so excited had to post it in more places.



ALSO.

some ideas are running through my head... and i need to vector. does anyone has a good prgrams for things? like photoshop? or cs4 or whatever it is now? and perhaps tips on how to vector? i need to make logos. for a thing i don't have yet. DERP.

third thing!:

MOVING. is going incredibly slow.

having an ice storm/windstorm/ two goddamned power outages so big you cannot call the electric company/ getting sick/etc has made moving suck more than it really had to.

also: interenet wasn't working all good for a while there...

my most sincere apologies to those of you who thought i was coming back with a vengence. i can't yet. i has no scanner and not even all my supplies. and toher things i need... still all there.


working on an art donation project for whole food though. feels kind of nice to work on something epic that isn't furry or cyber-goth related


i also lost my voice.

let me get you the short story here:


the cpsia, which goes into effect on feb 10, will require ANYONE making products geared towards children 12 and under to test EACH COMPONENT of their product for lead AND pthalates.

so. this basically fucks the little guys, and fucks them hard. think about it. these handmade toy makers would have to up the prices of thier toys by an average of 4000$ to cover the costs of testing.


please click the above button and do what you can to get this law ammended. i've already written to my senators, and i am going to see is there has been any news coverage about this in the louisville area and let people know... louisville is a VERY independent-business friendly city, and i would think the people here would be just as outraged as i am.


other links to check out about this:
[link] (( this issue got 6th place in the vote for change! hopefully obama sees how horrible this is and fixes it asasp ))

[link]

[link]

go to etsy and search CPSIA and sort by price high to low, see how expensive things will be now. several thousand dollars for handmade toys.


this is absolutely ridiculous. another fuckin' RETARDED THING bush did that someone else has to clean up now. >(

SPREAD THE WORD GUYS.

it's because the lack of a printer.

you may be wondering "what does that have to do with drawing?"... weellll it's because i love surrounding myself with artses. especially very inspirational ones from the interbutts. reference for friends charcters, or commission work.

so i haven't had a decent printer in like.. 3 years.

well, no. that's a lie.

i, in fact, have a brand new printer.

but i don't have ink for it.

i got the printer for xmas OF 2007! still haven't got ink.
they apparently only sell it at circuit city, and i always forget.



anyway.. this year my resolution is to DRAW FUCKEN MOAR.
so i should go buy a nu sketchbook and moar inks for printer.

hopefully that will work.

so.. i thought i would be home, drawing. relaxing. enjoying time with just jack adn my baby...

instead it was spent driving through several states, and seeing family under incredibly stressed conditions. stressed because no one wants to see family dying.


so that's where i've been. it's where i'm going.


i laugh because the amount of stress i've dealt with these past weeks could make ANYONE'S head explode, and i'm still okay. i think.

i may start bleeding from the ears in my sleep or something, haha.



oh, and...i'm going back to work next week.... soooo.. we'll see how my time works out and if i will ever upload anything again.

oh... people like... thurop van orman.... the creator of flapjack (WHICH IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED, YOU MUST BECAUSE IT IS AN AMAZING SHOW)... or people like... craig mcCracken, the creator of the powerpuff girls....

i mean, that's some FUCKIN' PROFESSIONALS.

i thought it was amazing that there were people like =martegodpopo and *Eldelgado, who colour for MARVEL, on dA... like "omg you're hired by MARVEL? and you upload to dA? that makes no sense!"

so it makes me wonder just how many more professionals are on dA. ...dA has gotten so vast that they could SURELY hide here for a while. because even as popular as mr. mcCracken's shows are, he ONLY has 100,000 pageviews (even IF it was just from january, i'd figure he'd have more...). even ~mexopolis (creator of el tigre) has only 3k views!! wtf! and he's been here since '07..... HE HAD TOYS AT MCDONALD'S, AND HAS ONLY 3,000 VIEWS ON DA?! what?!



in baby news: i've got 5 weeks left, and my pelvic bone hurts so bad! ! the bones are loosening and spreading (as they should be) and it DOES feel like the baby's head is pointing downward (as it should be), but this combination makes it REALLY PAINFUL to walk.... and lay down. and then, i can't SIT forever because my back is achey from carrying an extra 25 pounds all the time... blaahhh~!! i'm not QUITE to the point of being like "OMG ENd THIS PREGNANCY NOW".... but i'm getting there.

in drawing news: jack started sketching a lot lately.. which inspired me to do it a little too. unfortunately it's not that much, none of it is finished, and none of it is interesting. but it's the first drawings i've done in like.... 2 months. like at ALL. including doodles. i keep trying. but i keep failing. maybe i'm destined to not draw anymore :/ we'll see.


oh, i get another ultrasound next monday! and another baby shower! whoo! excitement!

i passed my 3-hour long diabetes test, my results are normal.

apparently it's really common to fail your first one and then pass the second.

BUT I WISH they didn't have to take my blood twice in each arm. i look like a damn addict.


oh. and here's a baby ticker.





edit: i just noticed my sub ran out. i don't even know when that happened. *shrug* i can't tell a difference right now. AWESOME.

i could learn to love it... y'know... if my watch didn't start the change will well over 2500 deviations to sort through.

so over the past two-three days i've sat down for a bit at a time to go through all of them. because i figured the way it was changed i would never be organized again! ... but then i found the mass delete button... which just confused me, so i went back to deleting singularly. but WHOO! now there's only 24 deviations left, and those are the ones by my best friends, which i tend to leave in my watch for months at a time so i can look at them everytime i check dA.


it was really inspiring to see that a handful of my old watches have come back! after a loooong hiatus for most of them (some more than a few months, but a couple were from a year or more!) so it makes me want to try harder on a comeback for me. hahah.


i have a 4-hour-long gestational diabetes test tomorrow... since i failed my other one. i am not excited.




also: OMG BATMAN.


OMFG THE JOKER. OH MY FUCKING GOD. THE JOKER.


that is all.

i'm back. empty handed.

i sketched like 2 things on the plane ride THERE, but nothing any other time.
i didn't even take that many pictures.

i feel too ill.


i feel uninspired.

i don't feel like doing anything artistic right now
and that thought makes me sad.

you may have been wondering where i have been!

the TRUTH is... i haven't been doing much lately. i haven't been drawing. i haven't been sculpting. i haven't made bracelets, and i haven't set up my selling journal which i meant to do like a month ago so i can finally garage sale off all my goddamned dvds....

i felt ashamed so i thought i would just not come online much anymore at all.

and then i got sick. hopefully it will be gone in a few days... but in a few days i will be visiting SWEET HOME CALIFORNIA. i won't be back until the 29th. at which point i will be busy with a lot of other things that need my attention. like getting medical insurance! hoo-rah.

but hopefully the visit home will be inspiring and i will draw (( oh hell, a few hours on a plane? of course i'm drawin'... )) because it will be the first things i've drawn since i last uploaded. back in like. the first week of janurary.

i apologize for my absense. i can never tell when i will have an art block. but they seem to be following me around lately.

i don't like being omitted or edited out because they are ashamed of me, even though i know (as well as many others) they were the wrong one.

i hate that i have directly and/or indirectly helped people i can't/can no longer stand.

i hate that credit is seldom ever given where credit is due.

i hate when fangirls obsess over someone who isn't worth it.

i hate that almost all fangirls act the same. they are all sheep and won't get out of a certain style.

i want to forget. but i can't do it in this place.


*EMOOO* goddammit jack needs to stop being in another city training stupid bakers how to bake grood and come home.

the plus side...! i am making wee little clay charms. and so is everyone else. but it's okay, i know i've always wanted to. i was never any good at moulding things. i owned POUNDS and pounds of clay and play-do over the years, but nothing ever came out how i particularly liked UNTIL I FINALLY BOUGHT SCULPEY.

OH SCULPEY. you rock.

i am glad that the many charm makers on dA and etsy, mostly my friends, have inspired me to FINALLY get sculpey and create things. oh, it's a lovely feeling.




i took my works in progress to work today. my manager noticed the skull and said "oh! that looks like dia de los muertos skulls." and i was like "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YES. that's what i was going for!"

ALSO. if there is any fluent spanish speakers out there, plz note me i have a question about grammar. thx.


OH AND jack made a ridiculous ZOMBIE charm. you should check out his stoof:

got a lot of new projects heading my way. goddamn, where did 2007 go? i thought i had more time.


a co-worker is working on a movie and wants me to help with maybe storyboarding and possibly a comic-companion when things get more rolling.

he's apparently already got a bunch of people on board, cameras and a cool movie-bound computer... all's he gotta do is write the damn thing XD

so within a few months i should be helping out on that.
i like to help people with ideas, because you never know how far they can go.
it's really the least i can do for not going to school to do art, lol. just try to force out professionalism, i suppose.

i've got a few people requesting tattoo designs. and everytime i draw something for one person, another person sees it and wants one too. NEVERENDINGSTORY.

my sister should be moved out by this month, which means i will have an extra room, which i am turning into a art/computer room. HOPEFULLY i will be able to churn out some paintings/large-scale pastel work to send to a cafe here that likes to showcase artists. i feel like i have no room to paint unless i have a ROOM to paint it. i'm weird.

i may buy a scooter soon. which means i should move to a bottom floor unit in my apartment complex so that i have a place to house my scooter (because out in the open parking lot, not so good)... a scooter will help me NOT RIDE A BUS anymore... and still not drive a car cars scare me.

feburary i am DESTINED to be gone for a few weeks. some sort of vacation is to be had. i'm being secretive about it.

as far as personal art goes? i'm trying to pump out some stuff. kinda hard... i dunno. i am trying to incorporate some more traditional comic stylings into my art... mostly to get a more human feel through it. it's not that i don't like furry peoples, but i want to try having more humans... especially if i am ever going to work on these comics i have planned in my brain matter. ANY SUGGESTIONS?


no really, any tutorials on style you are fond of? art i should check out?
actually, to anyone who reads this... tell me some of your favorite artists?

i don't know anyone that lives there.

the number is (913)602 64XX

i don't want to put the actual number out there, lest people call them and harass them.

but if this number looks familiar to you, please let me know.


i have LITERALLY 22 missed calls from that number from last night to this morning, and a few hours ago missed 2 more calls from them.





my phone is broken and cannot ring, or vibrate any more, so i can only tell if i have a call if i am looking at my phone while it's ringing or viewing my missed calls. i can no longer text, or receive texts, take or receive pics, or really anything besides answer, dial, check voicemail and missed calls. which is why i never answer when anyone calls (sorry, i haven't got the time or money to get a new phone right now... )

i'm just annoyed. halp, plz.





also, no compu. i'm just kind of broke right now, i'm sorry.

1- my dad used to own a video game store. in which i worked since the age of 5, and was a paid worker since the age of 12. we've had actual cabinets of arcades at my house for our enjoyment, and nearly every system ever available. my dad sold his store before the ps3/xbox 360/psp/nintendo ds/etc came out, which is why i don't/never played those games. (( aside fromrecently, my boyfriend got a ds. )) YES, i owned a 3do (( DO YOU REMEMBER THAT? I BET YOU DON'T YOU VIDEOGAME ELITIST ASSHOLES. )), sega saturn, 32x, sega cd, and all those systems you only heard of. HAHAHA. yeah i had a neo geo for a while too, but i could never find any good games i liked.

2- when i moved this past year, all of my video games were stolen. all my systems. aand all my games. my snes copier, my super famicon, my GODDAMNED DREAMCAST ;____________; ALL OF THEM. GONE.

3-i won my xbox in a drawing at school. you got a raffle ticket if you showed up to all of your STANDARDIZED STATE TESTS. ... yes, these tests were MANDATORY, and my school had SUCH a problem with kids NOT showing up, that they had to bribe them with the chance to win an xbox. i won one of 3. there were about 2,000 kids (( yes, two thousand. )) that went to my school.

4- despite working in a video game store... i.. never played some of the classics... like final fantasy and megaman... and metroid... i know a lot of the characters and storylines... i just... never played them. and feel like i fail at being a gamer. i know i'm not the best gamer ever, but still have considered myself one, despite not playing a lot of the classics.

5-i didn't originally set out to make these all video game related.

6-tetris is probably my favorite game ever. my favorite edition is "the new tetris" on n64. i have music from the game on my mp3 player.

7- i also have "zelda: the ocarina of time" music on my mp3 player. as well as a few video game remixes by ~AndroidPsychoCrusher, random final fantasy music (that i don't remember how they got on my mp3 player...... considering i never played the game... ) a few mini bosses (thank you ~queasy! ), and a handful of other videogame music.

8-i have a pac-man shirt. with level 256 (( from errorwear.com )), and take every opportunity possible to explain what it is. i have a space invaders beanie. a nintendo tank top. a nintendo work shirt, with a poisonous mushroon and "game over" on the back. a pac-man ghosties shirt. several VERY OLD mario pins ((koopas, and mario with a hammer )) and one zelda pin in the same style WHICH SHALL NEVER BE WORN, as i am SCARED to lose them. a time boy, which is a miniature replica of a gameboy color, with the time digitally displayed on it (( i have a green one on my keychain, and a pink one still in the package... but MYYYYY gameboy colour was that cool pokemon yellow/blue one... XD i love pokemon )) s couple pokemon shirts, and COUNTLESSSS toys. .....as well as a handful of other nintendo promotional items from the 90's (( pens and hats and keychains and stuff ))and to top it all off....!!! a belt buckle with a scene from pac-man, complete with dots, ghosts and pac-man... given to me by ~AndroidPsychoCrusher forrr... christmas one year, i beli... ]]> *tomoko-nyo http://tomoko-nyo.deviantart.com/journal/14410945/ http://tomoko-nyo.deviantart.com/journal/14410945/ Thu, 30 Aug 2007 13:34:17 PDT

both holly*nekophoenix and i are tired of the drama.

so.. please just stop.


it really doesn't involve anyone else anymore, but i do appreciate the sentiment.


i understand many are upset by what happened, but in order for anyone to get over this, we need to act civil. i think we need to just stop for a minute and breathe.

thank you.



on a more positive side note

i won an auction on eBay and ended up getting a double bento set for not very much. i'm so excited. i can't wait to get it and make arty lunch box meals AND YOU WILL HAVE PICS. unfortunately, i accidentally didn't use my card on the payment, and somehow used an eCheck instead, so it will take a few more days than intended... but all in all, i'm super stoked!!!


to-do
-priss commission for ~studio-buma (needs a bit of refining, then scan for approval)
-big ole package for lauren~queasy
-OH CRAP, i forget to mail out :devcuriossajess:'s trade...

i don't care if i do get banned.

i don't know what to do about this


this is rape.

edit:

[link]

also.




no really, fuck anyone who thinks that THIS, this PERMANENT STEALING of my character is ok.

this isn't like some ART THEFT that can get resolved, or taken down, or HELL, if it was traditional art, THROWN AWAAAAAYYYY....

but this is PERMANENTLY emblazoned into SOMEONE ELSE'S SKIN.

i almost feel like it's not special anymore. it's dirty, and used, and raed, and ugly, and that i can't use moko anymore for ME. because someone else has her. someone else, other PEOPLE have stolen her from me in the absolute most hurtful way possible.

and i don't know how to deal. i cried for hours. i couldn't sleep. and this happened only LITERALLY hours ago for me.

i can't even make the first person i posted REALIZE... how much this hurts, how in the wrong he is.

i DON'T CARE if it's a "public internet image", it's still PUBLICLY OBVIOUS it's for ME ONLY. how can you NOT see what you have done is wrong?

on SO many levels.

it's lame that this is the first case of "art theft" i've ever had. and it's not even really my drawn art. (( well, not even mine anymore... ))

would you be willing to go on an epic daiso trip to get me some cheap-ass japanese goodies, such as a bento box in exchange for some cash moneys and drawings?

coz i want a FUCKIN BENTO BOX. and i don't wanna pay out the ass for it. because ebay sellers mark UPPPPPPP thier shit, and i KNOW that set is NOT worth that much, because it's common. (( wtf, remember my factoid, i don't like to pay more than 20 dollars for anything. ))

anyway. you'd be my hero.




to-do:
- priss commission for ~studio-buma (status: sketched, need to scan for approvaaallll)
- a freakin' AWESOME package for lauren~queasy because she's amazing. well. i already had half a package ready for you, but i need to finish it up >>;

1. little known weird thing: I HATE going into the bathroom or outside in my socks. i prefer to be barefoot 24/7, but if i happen to have socks on, i will take them off before i go in the bathroom.

2. i almost never bend straight over. i bend my knees and do weird cock-eyed leaning techniques to not bend straight over. it's a habit developed by having too many guys just LOVING my ghetto booty, and wearing tight pants that restrict movement sometimes.

3. i have a fear of doctors. i have a strange attraction to doctors. i hate hospitals, and they scare me, but i take medical masks from them when i go (( even though i own like 5 vintage cloth ones :/ )) needles scare the absolute SHIT out of me, but peircings, tattoos and syringes as decorations are awesome.

4. i RARELY, if EVER, spend more than 20 dollars on anything. and if it's more than 20 dollars, it had better be the absolute BEST or CHEAPEST of whatever it is.

5. when i was 5, i had an operation on the ROOF of my mouth to remove an extra tooth. it apparently was eating away at the roots of my adult teeth, and was further crowding my very small jaws. they had to take out my two front teeth to get to the roof of my mouth (( so in total, 3 teeth removed, by operation, when i was 5 )) the extra tooth looked kind of like the tip of a q-tip. my boyfriendo, jack, calls my extra tooth a mushishi. which is from some anime. related note: i have MANY teeth problems. i have had somewhere around... UH... ALL my baby teeth removed by operation. once had 4 removed at once, and the root of my tooth even BROKE off in my gums, and i had to be further worked on for like... another hour. SUCKED. ALSO: i didn't wear my retainer after braces and now have a fucked-up grill. it's why i don't smile very much in pictures, or atleast where you can see my teeth.

6. i can kick anybody's ass at any puzzle game. except lumines.

7. i don't like oreos, licorice, chocolate, root beer, hot dogs, tomatoes, ice cream, popcorn, orange juice and a number of other odd things that MANY people consider unhuman/unamerican. :/

8. i never wore/owned a pair of flip flops before this year. i now own two pairs, one black and one neon green.

I TAG. ~Tatsuya, =R4gd011.... you.. reading this... i can't think.

sidenotes: in my epic cross-country move, i lost (( AKA they stole )) my video games. not just one or two, but all of them. this would include: ps2, gamecube, n64, xbox, dreamcast, super nintendo (and copier), super famicon (and copier) as well as all games that went with said systems. and a few dvds.

update: for my 20th birthday, i got a new ps2, one of them cute skinny ones, and two games. genesis collection and the sonic collection (which i am taking back since jack has it already. i shall instead be getting guitar hero.)

my birthday was uneventful. lacking cake, candles, parties and spoiling with presents. excactly what i wanted. it was the best. i was so happy at the end of the day. until the day after, where i was minorly surprised with gifts and a mini celebration at my workplace. they sang. i got free ice cream. it was excactly what i didn't want. but atleast i got a ps2 and can FINALLY play video games again.

generic update: life here is good. i'm currently working 13 days straight, and am a bit worn out, but i am very happy where i am.


plans: i've decided it would be a very happy fun good thing for me to pursue tattooing as a profession. i am passionate about art, and love tattoo art. i would be willing to do this everyday. soon, i plan to get a tattoo kit, with gun and ink, and start teaching myself, working up a kind of portfolio, and hopefully find an apprenticeship of some kind. or straight into a job.

artwise, i wish to try harder on realism. i have a little, but porn came out. seriously. i want to be better at realism to do portrait tattoos. i also wish to work harder on making and finishing comic art. i am thinking very hard and very often about art lately. i want to do more of it i sort of miss it. so, hopefully there will be more. here, and HV.

rant.

you are not better than me because you went to or are currently attending school. you are not and will never be better than me for that fact. if anythign you are worse... a horrible person for even thinking you are so much better than me or anyone else who hasn't attended school as long as you have. i am so frustrated when people ask me if i am in school and they have such a dissappointed face when i say no. and with such a condescending tone reply a mere "oh." or "oh... maybe you should go." to which i reply, susually, in a huff "i went. i went before i was even out of highschool. i didn't like it. i don;t like it. and i don't like wasting my money on something that isn't benefitting me." unlike a lot of people, i went to school on my OWN money. i had no financial programs. i had no loans. and looky here... i have no debt from it. these people who think and act like they are so high above us uneducated folks are frequently in thousands of dollars of debt. i have no debt. i can afford to buy a house if i so desired, instead of these other fuckers, who live their lives paycheck by paycheck... or even ask their parents for money in between. it is true that my parents helped me move out. my parents help me, yes, i can't deny that. but i do not depend on them. i didn't depend on them to pay for my schooling. i didn't depend on them to buy me a car. or my apartment. or my clothes. or this that and the other thing. i can't beleive that there are so many people that think they are better because of school, when they depend on so many things, and have such an attitude about it. i don't think i'm better, nessiscarily, but i can defiantely say i'm much more happy with my life than with thiers. this also falls in the category of people who go to school because thier parents said so. you shouldn't have to do what anyone else says. moving out has been one of the greatest things i have ever done, i don't have to listen to anyone... don't let your parents or society dictate how you want to live your life as an adult. school doesn't make you a better person. ....

i don't know how to end this rant. i just want people to stop telling me to go to school. like i'm so bad off. i'll never make it in life.

i guess it's just what i'll have to deal with by living in a college town.

this is not to insult or bad mouth anyone who has gone to school, live paycheck to paycheck, has had thier parents pay for thier tuition...or anythign else i stated. this is just your attitude about it. summary: just because you went to school doesn't mean you are better than me or have the right to act in such a way or tell me to go to school.

i know going to school can help you with having some kind of career job, and people are more likely to hire you. i know. my point is, you don't have to tell me from atop your high horse. i know.

i've listened to it like... uhh... a billion times since my sister bought it on release day. >>; yeah i stole it from ym sister. SHH.

Info. + Commissions ]]> *tomoko-nyo http://tomoko-nyo.deviantart.com/journal/8990784/ http://tomoko-nyo.deviantart.com/journal/8990784/ Tue, 06 Jun 2006 16:20:13 PDT . coz she's wicked cool a'ight?

List eight themes/ideas/concepts that recur in your stories/writing/drawings/comics.

1. Moths
Moths are in nearly everything i draw as of late. i'm not sure excactly WHY, but something about being dull coloured yet still something incredibly gorgeous is very appealing. i'm sure there's something more subconscious to what moths and the wings represent, but i can't think of it.

2. Goths
LOL I RHYMED A BIT? i have such a fascination with subcultures. like... why they exist, how does one identify with any given subculture and the subcultures within THAT, why do people attatch certain stigmas to them? etc. my favorite subculture thing is "goth" because i relate to it a lot i guess. all that black and spiderwebs makes me all happy on the inside. not to mention i love making fun of people and goths are quite an easy target. i also got this way mostly because of VOLTAIRE, that awesome comicbook artist. he made fun of goths in a way that inspired me soooo. since i listen to a lot of industrial/ebm there are a lot of "cyber goth" themes in a handful of my characters

3. Black Black
i need my balcks to be black. i actually prefer all blacks to never have shading or highlights. i want them BLACKEST BLACK. you'll notice a good portion of the time, moko's ears and tail do not have shading. i enjoy even in photography for there to be a lot of blackblack for a very graphic feel. usually the only time i avoid making blackest black is when it would make it hard to "see" the picture or if the picture doesn't have a lot of other shading to it (( ie: a black shirt will likely have shading if there;s not much else to the drawing )).

the phrase "i'm only wearing black until they make something darker" comes to mind...

4. MUSIC
oh, this is a big theme. for without music, i doubt i'd be drawing much if at all. a GOOD CHUNK of my characters would not exist if it weren't for music (( nemo(and therefore all other moth/wolf charcters i have), hope, dream destructor, "the technicolour nightmare", itchi, injektilo, symbolo... etcetcetc. )) soemthing about relating to lyrics and the way the music makes me feel, the colours i see, i can put them into a drawing. i think my music inspired drawings look so much better and fuller than just random drawings. MUSIC=LIFE

5. Rainbows
and as much as i love black, i love rainbows too. as much as i want black blacks, i want bright rainbows. since i was five i've said "i like all the bright rainbow colours and black". that quote was even in the kindergarten yearbook-thing. it's not because i'm a lesbian, it's not coz i'm bi, and it's definately not because i'm a raver. rainbows stand for diversity and an appreciation for the differences in everyone. which seems totally wrong that everybody skews rainbows to mean somethign negative with the "gay" stuff. fuck that. it;s about bright colours and happy things. YEAH. *cheesy* plus, rainbows remind me of being a kid and that's something i always want to be.

6. Illness (( mental or otherwise.. ))
i am sooo fascinated by why people go crazy. why are they considered crazy? what makes people get sick? why does lack of oxygen during birth cause cerebral paulsy? why aren't the same in-womb breathign functions being used until you are completely born? why is "skitzo" cool? does everybody have an illness? these things just run through my head soooo often. a lot of my characters have things like that wrong with them. a lot of them very simple like depression. some very obscure like lithopedian (stone child/calcified pregnancy). even my ragdoll charcters are named after mental institutions. i guess i think having things "wrong" with you makes you more interesting. sometimes i wish i had soemthing because i feel painfully healthy and normal. i never even had allergies until this year. so... having characters who have major illnesses really.. really is interesting to me.

7. Keys
KEYS. I COLLECT KEYS. keys can have meaning too. because even though a lot of keys no longer have any use and have mostly been forgotten someone can find them to be precious. their designs can be so simplistic to horrendously complex. and it's AWESOME. aaghh. keys are just one of the coolest things on the planet.

8. Stars
i ADORE stars. real stars, fake stars, glow stars, drawn sta... ]]> *tomoko-nyo http://tomoko-nyo.deviantart.com/journal/8859316/ http://tomoko-nyo.deviantart.com/journal/8859316/ Mon, 10 Jul 2006 14:36:03 PDT
