Dear Dairy:

Mon Oct 26, 2009, 10:01 AM
  • Mood: Adoration
  • Listening to: Lykke Li - Complaint Department
  • Reading: some Wyeth art book
  • Watching: Dollhouse / Castle
  • Playing: Mother 3
  • Eating: Chick-Fil-A
  • Drinking: Creamy Coffee Candy Concoction
Of non-art:

Today I resume classes after fall break. I had a pretty solid break, but I left my wireless router and shaving stuff. I am truly at the mercy of God now.


Of art:

I had my stuff in a gallery for the first time a few weeks ago. I sold prints, because girls are suckers for cute drawings of little boys and Yorkshire terriers. Art projects are turning out okay. I'm hangin' out in the computer lab now, as always, working on some colour comps. I also found out =Whiim has a dA account, so that's neat. (Stop by and say hello.)
I'll try and upload some DS sketches. I've done quite a few thumbs in Colors! and have neglected submitting them.

Thanks for reading. Have a good 'n.



Oh, Here's the stuff I put up in the gallery, along with my artist statement:





My character illustrations never represent how I feel. They are merely ideas that would not let go of my thoughts until I did them justice in some sort of visual representation.

My greatest wish is to show characters in a way that inspires others to love them as much as I do.

Thanks for taking the time to check my stuff. :)

Dear Jonathan, I am sitting in the MAc Lab, working on something really random, but you are not here, and I have your book.
You should be here.

Thanks for adding me to your watch list - I appreciate it! :)
:iconwahay:
My pleasure! I'd like my illustration portfolio to gravitate towards the three-dimensional, so adding you is a huge benefit to me.

Many thanks Sir!
It's nice to know that even having disappeared into obscurity people still drop by from time to time. Makes me want to upload some drawings so I don't feel like I'm completely wasting people's attention. :lol:

How is life treating you these days?
:iconwahay:
I'm currently sick like a dog (only physically) but had the most productive and satisfactory summer of my life. I'm closing in on sealing the gap between awkward kindergarten artist and professional. :lol:

(late reply! sorry, I'm a bit slow following my DA activity)

:3 glad you like my stuff! are you planning on going to ccad?
:iconwahay:
Transferring my classes (or lack of transferring) complicated things, so I'll be bailing out. :(

:iconkiwikitty37:
ahh, it's a shame that classes never seem to be able to transfer, I know a few of my friends had that problem. They won't be graduating any time soon :/ (OK, I was interested in your interest in ccad, so I read a few of your journal entries! I'm normally not a stalker, I swear haha. One of my friends just transferred to ccad from IWU! She was in the illustration department... (miki?)). Honestly, there are so many other options than throwing money into an expensive and long education. It's different for everyone. Some people just work better self-taught (or art school, or ateliers). Have you checked out the conceptart.org forums?
:iconwahay:
Oh yeah. You're talking about that sassy redhead, Ms. Ouilette! I had a very good conversation with her, during an overnight study binge a few semesters ago. The illustration department at IWU is pretty small, so I make it my business to know all of those draw-tists out there (although the increasing number of freshman in the area is… overwhelming).

I am on CA (I actually just signed up for that portfolio class Saturday!) but do not update my sketchbook thread regularly. I'm at the point where I have good stuff to show, but most internet acquaintances wouldn't bother to check me out or comment. In that context I appreciate your comment, and yes, I even appreciate your reading my entries. :)

:D cool, can you tell me how the portfolio class went? It sounded quite interesting...
