Hi everyone!

First of all, I want to apologize for my absence. I've been gone for so long that everything on DA seems so foreign to me, as there have been way too many changes to count. Also, I know a lot of you have been waiting for me to post something new and I feel horrible for not following through. I'm a little disappointed in myself as well as I had set a goal for myself concerning the number of pieces I'd have loved to complete this year, which I'm quite certain I won't be able to reach now haha. I'll certainly try though. I'm hoping to post something soon. So please bare with me.

On another note, I want to thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes. I particularly want to thank:








for personally wishing me happy birthday on my profile.  Please take the time to check out their lovely galleries! I also got a 3 month subscription from an anonymous deviant and let me tell you, it definitely made my week! I really appreciate it, who ever you are. I wish I knew you as I would've loved to thank you personally also.  I hope you get the chance to read this journal so you can understand the magnitude of my appreciation. Thank you!!!

With that being said, I want to say hello and thank you to all my new watchers as well as the old. Thanks for sticking with me!

Hey all,

So I've decided to create a tumblr account because I felt there were things that I wanted to share with you all but I cannot share them in their entirety on deviantART. Basically, I plan to post the following on my tumblr account:

*Photography that I do not post on deviant art

*Unfinished drawings that I might try to finish sometime in the future, and there are a lot of them. If that interests you then follow me to view them lol

*Video responses to questions that you all may have. Ask me questions and I'll answer them on video. It does not necessarily have to be about art. You can basically ask me anything. You can note me your questions, ask me via formspring me or facebook, or ask me on tumblr. (look at the top of my journal to get the links to the above websites)

*Video documentation of Tutorials that I plan to make in the future.

*Video documentations of me doing things that I love doing. For example: dance, playing the  guitar etc.  (I just thought it would be fun to add this)

If you were to add me now, my tumblr account might look a little bare. I think I only have one video up right. But I'm working on that now. Also, I'm trying to think of other ideas to add to this list so if you all have any suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hey all,

It's been a while hasn't it? I've definitely had a busy summer and it was all for the better I think. I had sooo much fun hanging out with family and friends and just relaxing after a stressful semester at school, and honestly, I think that was what I really needed to get back into the gist of things, you know? Last semester was definitely a hard one. I had no break from school and no time to get a job because of school. I was taking classes that were very challenging for me and all the while I was trying to make sure I passed with a high grade. So because of that, I couldn't find the motivation to do much else but study. I kept thinking I was just lacking the inspiration to start a new drawing, but I was also lacking the motivation as well. So after having the opportunity to travel around to different states with the people I care for most, I'm ready to start anew

So, I have a new love (not a boy...sadly ). It is actually a TV show...possibly the best TV show of my generation! Not really...but it's pretty damn close. It's called Merlin. Now I'm sure you've all heard of the Arthurian Legends, as well as the Disney classic, The Sword in the Stone. Well this TV show is obviously based on both stories. However, in the above stories, Merlin is a wise warlock with a long beard and a pointy hat, whereas the Merlin in this show is young and not so wise (yet). Also in this TV show, the king of Camelot (Arthur's father) has banned all forms of magic, thereby separating the land of Albion. Merlin's job is to help Arthur become king of Camelot which will evidently bring unity to the lands of Albion.  It's a great show filled with comedy, magical beings, romance, and action, and I am ADDICTED! It also doesn't help that prince Arthur is possibly one of the most handsome men I've ever laid eyes on...like seriously! Here have a look if you wish (fc04.deviantart.net/fs51/f/200…)                                    

Anyway watching Merlin has somewhat increased my motivation to travel to England next year as it is a British show. I've always wanted to go, but now it's definitely a must. So at the moment, I am making plans to attend a university in London for a semester. I plan to take basic courses for experience purposes...nothing too stressful. With that being said, are any of you from England? I love British accents. I recently spoke to my niece in London a few days ago, and I was soo jealous of her accent!

Alright enough rambling. I think I shall end this journal with some thank you's to my watchers and those who have faved/commented on my work. I really do appreciate your support!

Hey all,

I know I haven't exactly been active when it comes to traditional art. And I want to apologize to all my watchers who want to see something new from me. But I've completely lost inspiration. Of course this has a lot to do with all the school work I have to do, and just not having enough time for anything else. Though despite not having enough free time, I should at least still feel like lifting a color pencil every once in a while. I just feel terrible because I feel like I'm letting a lot of you down.

So here is an idea I came up with:

*I would like to get some ideas from you all as far as what you would like me to draw.

*It could be an object or a person

*It could be a picture of you or just someone you want me to draw (flowers, candy, stuffed animals, celebrities, characters from a cartoon... things like that).

*I just need the name of the person, or the link to the image.

*If I get inspired by your suggestion, I'll post a new journal stating what that inspiration is as well as FEATURE several deviations from the gallery of the person who suggested it.

Does that sound like a good idea? I hope you all participate, as I have obviously ran out of ideas.

Thanks!
