Hello! It has been a long time since I last updated this thing, and I apologise for that! It is a combination of being somewhat busy, but not busy enough to know what to write in an update. Or the few times I have had something interesting to update with, I forgot (although I have been doing better at updating my journal over on deviantArt… maybe I should just copy+paste my journals from there whenever I update it?) Well, let’s update with what I’m currently doing:

• Commissions! I am doing them! Here are my prices if you are interested, and if you don’t see what you’re looking for, feel free to email me and I’ll see what I can do! I am actually working on a travel poster for my sister right now for my hometown of Greenville, SC. She wants to get travel posters of each city she’s lived in. It’s been interesting, and I should start painting this week or next…
• Geolindin! That children’s book I illustrated is still available for purchase! I am actually starting on illustrations for the sequel sometime early this year, so look out for that. We had two book signings in November for this first book though (which I quite stupidly did not update about on here), but we plan on having more in the future, especially when the second one comes out.
• Mini-Comic! In addition to the sequel to Geolindin, sometime soon I will probably be starting another project which will be a mini-comic! I will update with more details once I start the project, but I’m pretty excited about it!
• Animal design thingies! So I originally started these designs for a calendar I was going to make myself, but then the free custom calendar credit thingy I had expired before I finished 12 designs.  But I am going to continue doing them, I think, and will soon upload them onto this site and my deviantArt as well.  They started out as just some loose sketches of these creatures I’d drawn in my sketchbook, but some of them got a bit more extravagant as I went along… you’ll see.  I’ve been creating these animals by combining characteristics of real animals (such as combining a weedy sea dragon, a pipefish, and a narwhal). It’s a lot cuter than it sounds.
• I thought up a tentative name for this series! Only tentative, but it’s something.  It’s Ruby Red, which is currently the main character’s superhero alias. I’ve placed drawing the comic on hiatus, however, because of a couple of reasons. For one, I am not sure if I am happy with the crosshatched look. In some places it works, but in others I think it falls a little short. So I am going to try out some other methods of shading before continuing, although I might go ahead and finish the 23 pages I’ve already started inking, just to have something to put out there (plus it’s good practice). The other reason I’m putting it on hiatus is because I haven’t actually finished writing the story. The first arc is looking to have four or five chapters, and I have up through chapter three written, and all of the major points of the last two potential chapters, but I need to get in there and write the details to the last chapters. These unknown details are why I don’t know exactly how many chapters it will be, nor how long each of the chapters will be.
• Cat-sitting for my sister!  I’m at her place until Monday or Tuesday because she went out of town for New Year’s.  It’s been somewhat productive, but I keep getting distracted by her Netflix account…
• Part-time seasonal job! This has nothing to do with art, but it’ll be a little bit of extra money for me, which is always nice.
• Student loans! …Don’t let the exclamation point fool you, I am not excited about this one at all.

So as busy as I’ve been, it’s mainly a lot of planning and doing little things that has taken up my time. I will try to update this in the future though (that’s what I always say, I know). In the mean time, you can always follow me on Twitter or watch my deivantArt account to stay up-to-date on my crazy antics.
