I uploaded my portfolio here> [link] so that I'd have it online in a place where it looks real pretty and professional. There are a few pieces up there that I haven't put on dA. I love the way that site works and completely recommend it to everyone.

In other news, I'm working on another still life for a scholarship right now. 9x12" pencil. I have to finish it in 3 days absolute max this time though. (&*#$@.
And the self-portrait painting I'm working on is supposed to be done Tuesday, and I'm going out of town Sunday-Monday, so Today. double @!$%.

Oh well, I'll learn to work faster maybe....

I'm excited for summer when I can not do anything for a while, mmm fun.

It's very sunny outside, but it was supposed to rain today. Weather is odd. Definitely nice lately though.

I'm just rambling.



p.s. I looked all through the moods for "busy" but couldn't find it.... so hence the "neutral"

"He seemed to be readying himself to shed the world." -Mark Helprin, Winter's Tale

I have been reading that book for probably two months, and I still love it. The way he words things gives me goose-bumps.

"All these things were shaken about within Peter Lake like pots and pans banging against the side of a peddler's swaybacked horse. It was hard to bear the weight of partial revelations which refused to venture past the tip of his tongue."

Ah, I just love it so much.

In other news, I'm registering for Scholastic right now, submitting an art portfolio and "Affixed by Gravity." A scholarship would be sooooo nice. But this means I'll upload pictures of all my work! Finally...

I'm trying to finish my horribly intricate still life and Scene Three of Realm of Mirrors, but I really just want to start painting Told a Story Once. 36x54 canvas. I can't wait.

Well, I'm really busy... so bye bye.

So, I want to paint. But I don't really have any images to work from. So if any of you want to model for me or have any pictures that I could use, that'd be pretty cool.... Also, I'm at Expectations Studio and I'm bored (since I can't find anything to paint) so if any of you'd like to come visit me I'd love you forever. I'll be here till like 3

Question from Blender: Country the U.S. should “liberate” next
Gerard Way's response: None. I think we should send a country some cupcakes. You think some cupcakes would cheer up North Korea? Kill ’em with deliciousness.

Sorry for the My Chemical Romance hilarity that I know most of you don't care about. But I felt the need to share.

NO MORE EXAMS!!!! I am so happy. I think I'm actually happier right now than I have been in a least the past two weeks. Yes, sitting in my basement, listening to (and reading about) My Chemical Romance. Yep. I am damn happy. Plus it's Friday. And I don't have to wake up till like 8:45 tomorrow! Farmer's Market might be canceled all weekend due to rain. If that be the case, then we're gonna do something (and I'll have no money oh well) And my speakers work again!!! I thought they were permanently broken, but I fixed them! Alright, I'll finish my rant by saying I WILL upload some artwork soon; I've got it and it needs to be shown-off. Love to you all. and sometime or another I will make those doodles that I promised to people.

I love My Chemical Romance. to death. They are inexplicably amazing.

***REMINDER:

I'm organizing getting a plane ticket for Alanna to come here over the summer (which most of you know) and I'm hoping you all will pitch in. Any money you can donate would be amazing! I'm really trying to get it within the next couple of weeks so that the price doesn't go up. yay. ok.
