It's been a little over a year since my last update, so really anyone who looks at this page anymore can see that I don't update often. I actually use my tumblr for updating. I upload more complete pieces on here, since I generally feel antsy about uploading junk on here. I've cleaned out all old pictures, doodles, drawings, and photographs that I don't think contribute to my gallery. I'm not proud of everything, which is why I cleaned up my gallery, but I kept some old things, because I still see this gallery as a timeline of how far I've come, and where I'm going with my art.

New Year, New Journal
Thought I ought to refresh the journal, especially since the last entry was written in remorse (and praise, there was praise there as well). Tagged by ~channellehazel (https://www.deviantart.com/channellehazel)
Okay, I don't really do these, since I rarely use this journal anymore. I'm not adhering to these rules, because I don't know enough people on DA to do something like this and actually pass it off as fun or interesting. I don't know if what I just said made sense, asdkjf;akjdf.
1->You must post these rules.
2->Each person must post 10 things about themselves on their journal.
3->Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create ten new questions for
The Renaissance Man
A teacher of mine passed away this week, on Monday. He taught us on the very day he passed, and he continued to teach us into the week, even though he wasn't there. (If that makes sense...)
This journal entry goes hand-in-hand with the deviation titled with the same title as this entry http://fav.me/d4eiifo. I didn't make the picture large enough so you could read my handwriting, because it's somewhat personal. The original was placed among the other notes and tributes to our teacher in a scrapbook to his wife.
I wanted to say thank you in a unique way. He had this painting of Venice in his room. It was completely blue, and it used a stipli
Confidence.
Perhaps it's time to refresh the old journal.
This is a word for word reply to another fellow artist about confidence. I believe you can read it without being lost, so here it is. It's mostly a pep talk to myself, since I can really use all the help I could get. Of course, I'd like to post this for other artists who have those "paranoid" feelings once in a while. I know you're out there!
(Warning, this is very much a "tl;dr" post.)

I understand what it means to not feel good about your art. If you do have peers that "praise" you, you wonder if it's real praise, or if they're just being nice. I get so paranoid about it. Then I draw w
A Journey On
"Curiosity..., gladness akin to rapture, ... are among the earliest sensations I can remember." -Victor Frankenstein, of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein
It's a little cliche, but I'll start this way anyway:
Ever since I was little, I always wanted to go on a journey, explore the world, and learn about it by experiencing it. I wanted to be surprised by customs and sights, and venture forth with good faith. I'd learn how to ride a motorcycle, speak 10 different languages, even if it was broken, try different foods, see different things. I would get confused when I order coffee, or read a menu, and get a crick in my neck as I swivel my head to loo

Well, at least I can follow you on tumblr. Although my tumblr gets drowned with reblogs by so many other people I probably miss a few of your uploads. Dx I will have to look your page up regularly, I think.
