Surfaces
Hello, thanks for reading my blogs, and thanks for enduring these diary-type of posts. A lot of stress has been piling up to the many factors of my life, and I was hoping these would be used for an adventure and not some business transaction. I haven't had much time to work on my artwork, but I did get a chance to color-draw out a mural idea with an enchanted forest theme. Once I get it scanned, I'll post it. I also plan to post a few more quick, conceptual pieces of a mural that's forming in my head. It's expanding a little greater, so naturally, I would like to paint it on a wall if at all possible. I'm also inspired to do some dimensional artwork in the style of T. Beever. Have you seen his work? His sidewalk chalk makes it look like a pond is there, or batman and robin are climbing up a skyscraper, or the blocks are that big, and I love it all! I wish I knew how he did that. I know it must take some measuring and getting used to, but it would be an honor to do some master studies of his work, because it's truly a marvel to look at. Google him sometime!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
May this be a year of many successes, triumphs, conquerings, and productivity. I know I've been keeping up with these blogs like a journal, but here've been my thoughts.
A lot of stress has been causing me to stay out of a Christmas spirit; not that I don't like Christmas, but because of the stress, it makes me realize how we celebrate this year after year after year......and eventually, there comes a Christmas, when you're not interested in really celebrating it; decorating the house to the extreme, putting up lights to the extreme, buying a bazillion presents, the more materialisitc aspect of Christmas.
Anyone who's reading this, don't bother with being offended by what I say, because I refuse to be politically correct, considering how much political action isn't really correct anyway. But I do say Merry Christmas, I believe the true meaning to be that Jesus came to Earth as a mortal to teach us, and even though Christmas is more about his birth than his whole life, I feel that Christ's Mass is celebrating him and his whole life, by the very moment that he was born. So when I look at the stores and see a ton of images for Santa Claus, or for trees, presents, sales, Christmasy-mushy-over-the-top stuff, I feel this bitterness on a strained nerve that makes me wish Christmas didn't become so degraded to the objects around us. It's a principle; a spirit. It's connected to events, which the objects help make important, yes, but these objects were meant to enhance the moment, not upstage the moment.
On the spirit bit, my stress has been causing me to not feel spiritual lately, and it's making me fall backward. I know that the key is to not let that stress get to me, but these are the problems of our future, living, and expenses. Therefore, in an attempt to keep the spirit, I want to be thankful and grateful to my friends and family, and their undying support. I want to be thankful for the life that I've been given, because I love challenges. I DOUBLE DARE LIFE EVERYDAY!!! BRING IT!!!
I would like to thank my wonderful hubby, who's been there when I've been happy, mad, sad, and freaked out. And I want to thank God and Jesus Christ, who's making the impossible possible.
Merry Christmas once again, and have a great last week of 2011!

On the 15th night of Christmas.......wait, what happened to 7-14?
Hey everyone, I am so incredibly sorry for not keeping this more updated as I said I would. I've been busy with looking for jobs, houses, graduating (yay!) and moving and packing!
Naturally, I haven't been able to do much artwork, but I still want to continue doing my series of Childhood Memories and Pareidolias. I also am hoping to find a home that will give us an extra space to convert into a studio to do my creative work in. Right now, just watching some "Supernatural" and contemplating on some questions I was asked earlier.
So, what would you do, if you found out that your spouse was a robot? They were as perfect as possible for you in pretty much every way, but they were a robot. I was thinking, if they were a robot, and that was a downfall, then therefore, they are not perfect in all ways and therefore I wouldn't want to be with them. It's a robot for crying out loud!
Perhaps I could use this topic to my advantage in a newer series of artwork...
But anyhow, have a wonderful and Merry Christmas!

On the 6th day of Christmas...
Still working on my series, still working on my videos, and now I have new projects: Finding a job and moving. I'll have to move within this month, so my Christmas will be extremely busy, and it won't just be fore the holiday rushing of it. It kinda sucks though, because I was expecting to move AFTER the new year, but now I won't be able to do that, and now there's a lot of stress that's going into the small things as well. So on this 6th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me......a moving notice.

Greetings Programs!
Today has been extremely productive, and I got a ton of my portfolio pictures printed nice and pretty today.
I was finally able to print out my series called "Childhood Memories and Pareidolias", so when I get the chance, I'll be able to scan those into the computer and print them out for viewing online!
