Hi there!
I know it's been a long time since my last journal, and I don't know if anyone reads these things, but I thought it was about time to give an update on what I've been working on over the past few months.
Since I ended up with some time on my hands I decided to sit down and really work on fleshing out a world I've been working on for quite some time. There's a lot of details about it I've already put down on paper, but I never really hammered out the specifics about the planet or where it is or anything like that and it's something that's been bothering me while I've been working on the rest of it.
So expect to see a lot of space stuff here in the next few weeks, along with a few maps and some other little bits and pieces. I doubt I'll put even most of it up online because there's just so much information already and I don't feel like flooding my gallery with what amounts mostly to sketches and notes.
Part of this was spurred on by the idea that I'll work on a story set in this place during NaNoWriMo 2014 since I haven't yet finished a story for that event and I'd like to have a goal to work toward.
I'll also be going back to school in a few weeks, so I may be kind of quiet while adjusting to the new class schedules and work schedules and things. I am determined to actually do some art this semester though because that and writing are the only things really keeping me sane during the school year.

Starting over
I got out of the habit of doing art just for the fun of it when I started getting busy these last few years, working on non-art degrees. It's honestly done me no favors, as I have learned that the art I used to do was helping me to unwind and figure things out, and helping a lot with my stress levels.
I'm hoping to start again and to do things that help reduce my stress instead of taking an art class right now. Hopefully, it's a habit I can form over the summer and will therefore be able to continue it when classes start up again in the fall.
I may submit some photographs of the returning bird life at a local sanctuary/migration pathway if
Suits: An exploration of clothing and skulls
I recently began a project which I have been planning out for awhile now. All of the pieces will be linked to from this journal so they can be easily found down the road.
For lack of a better name I am calling it "Suits" although a more accurate name might be "Suits, Dresses, and the Beasts that Wear Them". Suits just seemed to fit better.
Anyway, it's a project focusing on different time periods and the skulls of different animals. I plan to do one male, one female, one child and one group image for each time period I am working on.
Many of them will be ACEOs on trading card sized pieces of Bristol or illustration board. I like to work sm
Devious Journal Entry
Well, after a long hiatus from the site I have decided to start posting things on here again, hopefully with things that will generate some interest from those of you still watching me.
lol
Anyway, get ready for the beginning of a large series of ACEO pieces that I am calling "Suits" for now. I don't really have a much better phrase for them right now.
Anyway, I relocated to Pocatello in January and I am now living in a dorm. The frequency of my updates will depend on my course work and work load, which right now is very heavy (18 credits translates to about 54 hours of studying at the very least every week).
I am having fun though, and I
