AND once again, I've decided I want to change programs (3rd times a charm right?). I'll still finish the Fine Arts program but I want to go on to study Design. I'm undecided as to whether I want to go for a full degree or just finish with a diploma but that's a ways off so we'll see.

This should be a good summer; I'm really trying to be prepared for the Whyte Ave Art Walk this year. I've got my new business cards, I'm researching prints and will hopefully find a better way to utilize my sidewalk space. On top of that I have a few other promising ventures which I'll hopefully be able to share sometime in the near future.

The majority of work we do is a little too technical and basic to post, I may make a few exceptions later on as I was quite pleased with some collage work we've done.
So I've decided to post my photography projects which I've thoroughly enjoyed. They're probably the closest thing to achieving personally inspired artwork I've done in school yet.
So far I've done portraits which were surprisingly harder than they look, urban structures which I had a lot of fun taking, conveying a sense of drama - I originally had wanted it so that you could see the "predator" in the grass still but, instead of seeing the "prey's" legs I wanted shadows of people walking in front of the "predator" holding up sticks to look like antlers..., and then there was still life - I personally think the idea of mice dining in your fridge is adorable.
Anyways I'm sure you'll see more photography as the school year goes on.
Oh! AND. Thank you so so so so very much to Trevor for helping with pretty much every single one of my projects. Photography would have been the death of me by now if it weren't for you

The problem I encountered was that I do not put every single piece of my art on dA, so as I was handing out business cards I realised some of these people would not find what they were looking for. So to all of you that were at the Art Walk and are looking to invest *wink wink nudge nudge* you can follow the link provided. Or to any of you who have perhaps favorited a piece, you now have the option of hanging your favorite piece in your home!

In short everyone enjoy your summer and buy my art. Seriously. Do it: [link]

But the real reason for the update is that I got my portfolio submission back today! I'm officially 1 of 32 to be accepted into my program!!! I was (and still am) so excited I cried. I cannot wait to begin art school, as much as I wanted to be a veterinarian I definitely want to be an artist more.
Things are definitely shaping up...Well for the most part, haha but we'll leave that alone Well that's all for now folks!

In other news I'm getting a little more involved in the dA community and my local art community. If anyone is having trouble getting noticed around your neighbourhood see if there's any art clubs out there! Ours is great, they send e-mails about all sorts of opportunities available to you. Also here on dA, check the news regularly. As of late I've been entering alot of contests, a few in particular that have gotten me closer to the trad community. And I know when I'm totally at a loss I can check out the news for some sort of inspiration, even just entering a contest that gives you guidelines can get the ball rolling and break whatever block you might be facing. So go on and get involved, it's a lot of fun

And in much more depressing news the art program I wanted to get into turned down my first portfolio. Sigh. Although they did recommended me for a second submission. But! On the bright side I am seeing some of the my best work I've ever done bing produced, Lightbulbs and Butterfly Kisses is just the start. So just remember folks; take everything in the best of lights and work with what you've got.

Also.

Fire is still hard to paint...mainly because I haven't even attempted to finish the painting involving fire.

Post Script: I almost forgot. I'm officially a University drop out. I say screw Vet School and embrace Art School. Wish me luck :/

I'm ridiculously excited, thanks to everyone who's ever ran across my page.
Now I'll have to make some sort of piece especially for this occasion
