Yesterday my mom called me and gave me fantastic news... I sold a drawing! It's the first time I've sold anything, really, and it sold for alot more than I asked (to a neighbor, she asked me a month ago or so if she could buy it, so I framed it for her and all that). I'm so happy it makes me feel like I'll actually be able to succeed in a career in art

I want to go into animation... I'd love to study at Emily Carr So yea. Need to get a portfolio started.

(Oh, and the one I sold was this one: "Monday Morning Blues" [link])

I'm in California visiting my dad So hot out here... And sunny. I've been through like 3/4 of a bottle of sunscreen so far. I've been drawing though, so I have some stuff to post when I get back That and some school stuff that I said I'd post a while ago....

AND MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW (or Today back where I live... whatever, one more hour). I'll be 17. Woo...


Oh and one of my friends joined. She's a fantastic photographer, so go give her some love:

So here's my 3 or 4 time a year update
School is almost done! I just have exams to write.... both on thursday, so I get the next two full days to stress like crazy. Woohoo.
I've done a bunch of art this semester because I had two art classes (Applied Design + Visual Arts), so once I get my work back there hopefully I'll have some new stuff to post. In visual arts we did a painting unit, and I absoloutely love it, despite all my complaining. Finger painting is even cooler
Well, not much else to report, just letting you all know I'm still alive. Sort of.

So yeah. it's almost one. I told myself I'd be asleep and almost managed to a few minutes ago Grr. But it didn't work.
So, I'm still alive. I updated with one new piece today, and there should be a couple more within the next week or two. I have two art courses this semester (Art + Applied Design) so I've been doing ALOT of drawing each day, but not much personal stuff And then homework and work take up most of my other time. Blarg. But I really should start drawing more stuff to start putting a portfolio together for next year.
So yeah. Life's been pretty up and down lately... but pretty good overall I suppose.
Enough tired rambling. IT'S SLEEP TIME.





.....yeah.
Going now.
Zzzzz.

It's been a while, hasn't it
School's been keeping me so busy, but since the Holidays started I've got a few new drawings to post I just need to find someone with a scanner that will scan 9x12 paper, mine's only 8.5" wide
I should actually be in school today but..... I'm still in California 8D I'm visiting my dad who moved here back in September because of work. It's sooooo hot out here compared to Canada But I fly back tomorrow, and hopefully I'll get back on time unlike the flight out here which got majorly screwed up.

And then it's back to my insanely hectic schedule D:<

And that's pretty much it. Just wanted to let everyone know I didn't die
