Hi everyone!! I must say that I've been putting off things to do for some time now. Mostly because I've been depressed. And, I know I've promised to do artwork, but things have just bee too hectic to continue sometimes. A lot of things have changed within the last two years that has kept me from drawing what I love best. It's been a difficult time for me. It's only been in the last few weeks that I think that I finally have some strength back in my bones to try artwork again. I have started college again, and this time for what I really wanted to be trained in. I am in AI of Pittsburgh with the Online college courses. I have chosen the Media Arts and Animation for my course. I'm really excited and has already passed one class with flying colors. I am currently in another class which focuses on Computer programs. I am currently learning the Adobe Suite 4, which includes Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Dreamweaver. I must say I'm pretty impressed with the CS4 program, and will be using it in conjunction with my Open Canvas program. To get into the course that I wished to take I had to take at least 3 art classes classes: Perspective, plus two others I can't remember, have a portfolio and have English and Math taken. Fortunately due to my previous credits I have all three art classes, plus English that have already been accepted from my previous college credit. I spent the last two months preparing my portfolio and now I only need to take the Math class, and I am good to go. = ^__^ = Yay!! The portfolio really got me pumped up when I finished it. I was amazed at the work I could do. I didn't think I could do it. And I procrastinated a lot on this portfolio, so I am glad I did the work. I will post the Url to it when I have it up and online. I will be posting it on three sites: dA, ArtBistro, and LinkedIn. I will ultimately have three portfolios up on each site, plus a sort of extras portfolio to show those that did not make the cut. Even thought they did not make it, they are still quite good. Some I need to redo because they were damaged from moving. Heck I still need to get a new portfolio case for my work. Heh... I have a lot of artwork sites that I have acquired through these two years. I will be posting them up on the dA site only. I know I am stretching myself thin, but you can be sure that these sites won't repeat anything from the others unless it's a concept idea. Well, I'm glad you have continued to follow me even though nothing new has come out yet for quite some time. I do intend to post at least 2 items per site per month. All different artwork, some will be specific to that site, some won't. I do have two comic sites...which I'm trying to decide which one to use for my manga which is ready for me to start drawing. I will be selling it for a affordable price to my viewers. Well, with that said. I say thanks again for viewing my sites and have a nice day!
