Hello everyone. Well I guess the reason I have been so "dead" or inactive, is because something is up with my computer, and I don't know whats up. But more or less I lost everything, my art, internet browser, all of it (im on my old junkie clunkie windows 98 for now. Not only that but life itself is pretty busy, I'm selling cards, bookmarks, working on designing business cards/poster for a friend, in my little town, its doing pretty well (extra monies). My art is keeping me busy as well. I am working with a bigger drawing surfaces, plus playing with charcoal. Thats messy (smudges) so I'm not going to put it in my scanner. I could try and take pictures but I don't have any programs to resize the pictures so I don't know.

I'm back in college (one more semester yay) and have alot of classes again, but its pretty okay. and oh my goodness, never in my years of being an artist have I never touched charcoal. I've dabbled in pastels a bit but its so weird. I'm mxing it with watercolors and I'm all like, "Whoa! this is incredible, what have Ive been missing!" its crazy. Im really liking the vine charcoal just cause its easy it erase, and I can be more loose with my lines. Plus its really nice for practicing values and such. yep thats pretty much it
