Hello everyone,

So for the first time I have closed off taking on more commissions. I will be finishing what I have left and then taking a short break. As of right now it's becoming a bit too much work with they way things are run. I am very busy working a full time job with a long commute, to come home with just a few hours to fit in looking and applying for other jobs and trying to run my own business here as well as looking to relocate.

The past few months have been a learning experience for me. I've never seriously taken commission work on before. It's been fun but there are definitely some things i need to do if i want to continue business.

What I plan on doing, because I'd love to see this business continue to grow, is first focus on organization. How commissions are taken and when they are done has been too random for larger scale sales on my end. I have plans to make official social media sites to help with awareness and promotions for commissions. I'm also in the works of hiring someone on as a colorist/shader so I can handle a larger work load and provide high quality work for my customers. I think people will be pleased with the collab work that will be done soon! I also want to set up a more formal way of taking on commissions, so that mean you guys will have an actual order form to fill out rather than just leaving paragraphs in notes and emails. Things will be easier to track that way!

With time I also want to be able to purchase lamination equipment as well as a larger and better printer so prints up to 13x19 can also be available!

And as for clothing, which I hope to get more designs out, I am working on making a redbubble store. Easier and cheaper that way~

Thanks for reading and if you have any questions please ask!!!

Will also be taking badge orders too if interested :)

Hope to see you there, will post link later!

Who's gonna be there!? Maybe we can meet up and hang out! :D

I would just like to say hello to all my new watchers! You guys are super rad! :)

I would also like to say that my $10 inked drawing special is still in effect.

Pretty much anything goes with these, unless I feel too uncomfortable drawing it.

Comment or note if interested! Thanks!

Hey guys, trying to get some extra cash put away before I have to start paying off some loans, so any business would be greatly appreciated!

Pretty much anything goes with these, unless I feel too uncomfortable drawing it.

Comment or note if interested! Thanks!

Hey guys just wanna put it out there that my commission list is totally open now and I'd like to fill it up! So leave a comment or note me if you're interested in anything!

Thanks!

I realized my activity here has been minimal the past month or so and I plan on changing that!

I just uploaded some sketches in my scraps I did awhile ago and plan on drawing more soon! I have a few commissions to finish up and then I plan on taking more! Hope to keep myself busy this summer and into the fall!

Also how have you guys been? I feel like I don't talk to a lot of my watchers nearly enough and I'd like to be social with you guys!

Well about to head off to my Senior Design show...my very last show of my college career. It's hard to believe how fast these past 4 years have gone by....

Yeah so I'm thinking of coming up with some shirt designs and maybe selling them on a site like red bubble or something.

My questions for you guys are do any of you have experience with this? And what kinds of designs would you be interested in as potential consumers?

I'd really appreciate any input, thanks! :)

Congratz to  revka_hunt and  coyotecaliente !!!!

Thanks to all who participated! I honestly didn't expect all of you guys haha. I feel bad I couldn't draw everyone something lol but hey if anyone really wants something I have commission slots open -wink-

This was fun and I might do it again! so keep an eye out :)


Again thank you all very much and have a great day!

So today at 5 eastern US time I will select 2 people at random for a free drawing!

Don't be shy! Just leave a comment if you want a chance! :D

So i'm totally stuck for ideas for drawings so i'm oping it up to you guys to throw down some ideas.

So I dunno how many will actually want a picture so i'll just pick two at random tomorrow!

I'm just wondering what about my art do you guys in general think is good/bad? What do you like about it in general? Why did you want to follow me on here?

I'm just wondering because I would really like to get better and be able to get more commission work. I love working and drawing for you guys but I want to be able to produce stuff that you all want!

So it would mean a lot to me for you to give me some honest input! Thanks!

So I'll be putting a good chunk of tomorrow aside for doing some drawing because I feel like I haven't drawn much in awhile. Possibly gonna draw something Japan inspired but also is there anything you guys would like to see me draw?

Leave some ideas and I just might draw some of them! :p

So as many of you know I went to Japan and man it is an amazing place!

I was staying at a hotel in Ueno,Tokyo which was a very nice and cool area. So many shops and things to do! Hell everywhere in Tokyo is almost like times square with so much to do and so much excitement! One of the coolest things near me was an amazing 7 story toy store that was filled with the coolest of toys and things! I got a cool little wolf guy sticker for my ipod there.

Gee, i did so much I hardly know what to talk about haha. Um I went to the different districts of Tokyo, Ueno being great and Harajuku and Shibuya being amazing as well! Those last two areas are crazy! so many people and so much energy and they are great places to just be crazy and fun and yourself! One thing that was great was it was cold so I was wearing my wolf hat and I kept getting compliments from people and got called kawaii again and again haha it was fun and was a fun way to interact with the locals!

I also went to a bunch of temples and shrines, the coolest temple being the Golden temple in Kyoto which was stunning and the Inari ( the shinto fox god) shrine also in Kyoto. The Inari shrine was by far the greatest site I went to and the whole place was beautiful and I loved how the paths snaked seemingly forever into the forest and up the mountain side. The whole place felt very spiritual and had a great energy to it and was a very nice escape from the intense urban setting I'd been in for the past 2 weeks.

Lets see...Oh! I also went to studio Ghibli! the studio that created great animations such as My Neighbor Totoro! That was a great experience and it was awesome to see all of the progress drawing for the movies and character development and how they actually put together and made the movies. I also got to see a short film that is only shown at the studio and no where else in the world!

Also went to the worlds only Manga museum in Kyoto which was rad and was cool to see how Manga changed and developed through the years and got to see a lot of cool art there. Even got to leave a doodle in a sketch book for the museum :D

I went to a theme park at the base of Mt.Fuji as well! That was fun and Mt.Fuji is a beautiful site! And We also went to Tokyo Disney Sea which could top any of the Disney parks here in the US. ( Actually a lot of things in Japan were better than things here in the US...)

That's all I'll ramble on about for now. All I can say is if you have the chance, go visit! and I totally will go back in the future!

Any questions about anything? Feel free to ask! c:

Have a great day!

It's been the best time of my life so far and I'm really going to miss being here :(

I'll post another journal when I get home to say more about the trip and if any of you have anything you want to ask me about my trip/Japan I'll do my best to answer!

Hey guys first off, happy new year!

Secondly, I will be in Japan for the next two weeks or so on a study abroad for design!

I will try to check here when I can but Internet time will be limited. Anyone who is interested in my trip and wants to see pi and stuff can follow me on twitter! I'll try to post some stuff here too :p

See you all later! :D

How was everyone's holiday? Do anything nice/fun? Get any good gifts? :p

Because  sqrew told me too

1. Tell you something I learned about by looking at your FA page for 13 seconds
2. Tell you a colour you remind me of
3. Tell you my first memory of you
4. Ask you a question
5. Tell you something I like about you
6. Give you a nickname
7. Tell you the object that is to the left of me
8. Dare you to do this yourself in your journal

Kind of bored and felt like trying one of these out. It is Tuesday after all!

So ask me stuff and i'll give you an answer.

If it is something that I don't feel like sharing publicly then I may tell you privately via note or decline to answer.


So ask away! :)

It's a little early but in December I am up for a new phone and I'm already starting to browse the current array of devices.
Just FYI I am on Verizon and currently use a DROID X. Now I actually have had a fairly good experience with this phone and didn't experience problems other droid users have, like the random restarting, my phone has never done that.

But anyway, I am looking at other android based phones,( I know I know, iphone is the best) but so far I've been looking at the Samsung Galaxy SIII, the Motorola RAZR HD and considering the Iphone 5.

So let's have a discussion about phones! :P

Hey guys  raphial is going through some really tough times and he could use some help.

He's a really good guy and has a wide range of skills, I'm not really sure what he can't do! But if you could spare even $5 for something by him or donate (though I know he would appreciate getting actual work from people).

Every little bit helps!

So please at least go check his page out and hopefully you'll see something you like or even feel free to ask about something, he's a nice guy to talk to! c:

>>> raphial<<<

I've seen a few others doing this and I just want to know if any one would be interested?

What do you guys think?
