i only seem to get around to updating this site every 3 or 4 months or so, but i don't seem to have any people checking for updates very often - so not at problem at the moment. How can I change this...? I need to network more. Anyway, I uploaded 8 new pictures and deleted 5 or 6 old things that were just kind of filler. I'm trying to just show my best work now. I am satisfied with everything on display here at the moment. I reviewed every picture in every album and they are up to my standards. Check out the new folders "sketches" and "polynesian inspired art" under Galleries!

(that title is a beatles reference in case you care)

moving out to Hawaii soonish, just a few weeks left here in California. been doing more tattooing than any other art form lately. and unfortunatly not much tattooing at that. i'm taking a much needed break from art.

i got my BA in graphic design a couple weeks ago!

well i haven't actually physically gotten it yet, but if i passed all my finals (and i'm quite sure i did) i got it for sure. woot

gonna do a watercolor (or maybe just pen and ink) soon. i have the paper prepped on a board, just need to think of something worthwhile to paint/draw. need inspiration!

i did a sweet Darth Vader portrait on Shane's friend Alex's ankle tonight. She sat amazingly, almost no twitching or moving and she didn't complain once other than her toes getting cold :-p. It amazes me how some people can tolerate getting stabbed with a needle thousands of times without even blinking, but how some other people can't stand it for a moment. Luckily, no one has bailed on me half way through a tattoo yet. A partially done tattoo looks much worse than a finished one even if the finished one sucks. Luckily I haven't done a totally sucky tattoo yet either. I find that any art I do even if it is lousy at some point can be made to look presentable if i work on it enough. Well, so long as the initial concept is decent. I've definitly done some crappy artworks, but those are bad in idea, not execution.

Should I re-work some old works? Or start new ones? hmmm

almost forgot

not like anyone reads this anyway :)

pehaps in some future, a species of human-like beings will see this time capsule and study its contents.

not much new- just going to sift through photographs and destroy some old and birth some new entries.

just read a poem by my good friend steven turrill and a line in particular made me relate

"Why does it hurt to say hello?"

workin' / updating

Sun, 29 Mar 2009 19:00:00 +0000

Just updated a few links, a couple fishing sites I joined, as well as my facebook and twitter. As well as my profile pic of a very current picture of me. I've got a few new pieces from Illustration and Ceramics class that I will be putting up soon. I prepped a board with watercolor paper and think I will do a watercolor or 2 over spring break this next week. I will likely not be updating pics one by one, rather I will get motivated one day and just put them all up. I expect to put 3-8 pieces on display in the gallery withing 2 weeks. I should be able to meet that goal.

It's been awhile...

So I haven't updated the site or even this blog in 3 or 4 months. I don't think anyone is reading it anyway. In case someone is reading this I haven't forgotten about it and I ust spent the last couple hours revamping the site and I hope you enjoy.

Life update: It was a giant pain but I ran around and talked to several school advisors and got my request to graduate form and transcripts in and filed. I have 5 classes to go. I should have a BA in studio art with emphasis in graphic design by Christmas this year. Dad bought me a Wii, been having a lot of fun with that. It's nice when the folks are in town, been great spending time with them. I will put up some new art pics soon.
