My stylus has been missing for a while, and mom thinks it accidentally got thrown away. My new cat probably knocked it into the trash or something, but I pray to god it's not true. So don't expect a lot from me soon. If I do submit anything, it's gonna be back to the ol' pencils and colored pencils for now. In the meantime I'll be having violent Wacom Tablet withdrawals u.u

Had to put down my cat today; he got sick and the meds weren't doing any good. The fluid just kept building up around his lungs, his heart was failing--he wasn't comfortable at all, so the best thing we could do was let him go

Tigger was my first ever kitty and best friend. He lived a wonderful 11 years and was the most precious little prince you could imagine. Heaven has another kitty-angel. We'll miss you

For a long time my artist's drive hasn't been too good. And it's not just me--my closest friends have been experiencing it, too. You know who you are

I understand that I've been approaching drawing in a way that makes me uncomfortable. I want my art to be more of a spiritual experience, not a perfectionistic one, where I'm constantly worrying about if the lighting is right, if the eyes should be higher or lower on a face, if the leg is too short. Art shouldn't be uncomfortable. Art shouldn't be filled with so much nitpickiness and worrying.

Throughout the year I've been looking into ways of finding a more creative means of drawing. So all I really need to do is apply what I'm discovering. Anyway, that's the reason I haven't really been working on much art. Too busy reflecting instead.

If it's not too much trouble, I'd really like to hear--from anyone kind enough in reading this--about some advice, past experiences, or just thoughts about this sort of thing. What's drawing/painting in your eyes? What do you do when you're in a slump? Any sort of thoughts about your art or art in general are sincerely appreciated. I really want you to share it

Thank you!

Holy kapow.

Honestly, I know there's only 40+ favorites on my DarkLink picture right now, but man. I'm not used to that. XD

Just wanted to thank everyone for the favs. Even though it's a small one, it's an accomplishment that makes me happy. Three favorites a day is huge for me, and I really appreciate it.

So I'll stop being a bitch and add some more artwork in the near future, as a little thank-you. I'm working on a few pictures in Photoshop, so you can expect some different and hopefully better stuff from me. Love to all!

Well, I just came across this very recently and as I learned more about it, it totally shocked me, and I think it's a very important issue to be aware of considering art theft. There are probably a lot of people who know about this thief already, but for those who don't, I highly suggest you read and consider this, just to be on the safe side in the future:

It always angers me to tears when I see all these dumbass pot-smokers who have nothing else better to do in there lives than pass other people's art off as their own. I catch these kinds of morons way too often, and it's really quite sad, and not to mention dangerous in many ways.

So please, if you suspect someone of impersonating an artist or stealing art in general, I encourage you to not be lazy and report it whenever you can. You wouldn't imagine how helpful it can be, especially to the victim of the theft. Thanks!
