Hello everyone!

If anyone cares to follow me on Facebook, here's my link:

I just made this page but will upload more to that page compared to anyone else, so keep in touch!

Hey everyone,

I will be camping this weekend and will pretty much be unreachable until Monday night or Tuesday. If anyone wants to contact me for commissions, just send me a note I will respond when i get back.
:)

Hello everyone- I would normally never ask such a thing to anyone, but when emergencies come about, we do desperate things...

My cat Claude, who I love more than anything else on this planet, has crystals and had to be rushed to the ER tonight to be catheterized, and will be hospitalized until further notice. I'm a nervous, reck of a person right now and can't bare the thought of my poor baby alone under the risk of of anything horrible happening.

The bill is very steep- if he survives, the bill will be anywhere from 500$-700$. I've had so many necessary (and a lot of unnecessary) bills this month, and could really use some help. I hate having to do this but, if anyone feels like making any kind of donation what so ever, of just a dollar or whatever, I would be forever grateful. I know times are more than difficult right now, so i really don't except anyone to participate but if you do want to make a donation, I will make a sketch for you of whatever your heart desires. Or, if you don't want to donate, commissions would be great also.

if you would like to help out, just contact me. Thank you for reading.

I'm putting my badges on sale! 10$! SHipping included!

Since last weekend, I've been getting this awful pain in my side. I wasn't sure what it was but it was so bad that i had to take off of work all week because standing up is quite unbearable. So I got an ultra sound today and I seem to have a cyst on my pelvic area. It's a little ironic actually, because as of recently I've changed to a healthy diet and quit smoking and NOW I get a cyst. It just sucks because I won't be able to have it removed till after the holiday :( It hurts so fucking bad! I can't even describe the pain...

Oh and on a side note, DONT see the movie The Human Centipede. It was absolutely disgusting. I mean, I actually had a nightmare about it. ME of all people had a nightmare about a stupid movie. The context of the movie grossed me out to a point that I can't even explain. So yeah... don't see it.

Alright so, seeing Jason Webley preform with Sarah's band, This Way to the Egress, was incredible. They should play more shows together in the future! And let me tell you, Jason is a mad man... I mean, I think he might be slightly insane. He just preformed alone, and after he played a few originals he started playing a bunch of random 80's covers that people were yelling out on the accordion. And he apparently has a side project called Big Little Dipper Dipper... which is like 90's techno music from the future... it was interesting haha. And even though Sarah said he was a pain in the ass to work with, which I believe, before the show started he approached me at the bar and thought I looked very familiar and then introduced himself. That made me so happy! Like a gay school girl... or something like that.

AND apparently Ryan Gosling plays in a dark folk- type band. Who knew? And it's actually really good! Jimmy and I were surfing around youtube last night and found it. He has a children's choir that dresses up in creepy outfits and everything! Check it out...

So I've come to the conclusion that I REALLY want a pet chameleon... REALLY badly. I absolutely love having a bunch of reptiles around the house. The only problem is how expensive they end up being. The chameleon itself is not expensive, but once you finish buying everything the little guy needs it ends up being well over $300... which I don't have to spend on a pet right now :/ I mean I could, but I should really be saving my money.

What should I do?! Give me FEEDBACK D:

Well, it seems as though our cable is getting shut off today... not that I really give much of a crap for tv (cept for TCM and the colbert report.. and the office!) but the internet is connected with the cable, so that kind of blows.

Tv can be a big distraction for me, so it's kind of a relief actually. But I will miss the internet- BUT I can check it when I feel like traveling down the mountain to town.. so maybe a few times a week. So please everyone, don't lose contact. I will still check this site often!

And as far as commissions go, please still contact me here or my email (abbybraman@hotmail.com) Cause I am still and always open!

OH ANNND I definitely recommend Arcade Fire's new album, "The Suburbs." It's very good! Though it's nothing like there older albums, which in my opinion are WAY better, but it's still very enjoyable. GO BUY IT.

... at least it wasn't our electric this time!

So yesterday was round two of my wisdom teeth adventure. I got the last two bottoms out, and let me tell you, this is no picnic! My face looks like a damned balloon, and it hurts like hell. I've been eating nothing but mashed potatoes and protein shakes, and V8's... I have a very fast metabolism, so me not being able to eat is a crime. And, the Vicodin they gave me just makes me feel worse (which is disappointing.) I feel like I'm dieing

ANYWHOO!

I have so many new pieces that I'm dieing to upload, but because they are pieces dealing with songs from our new album, I'm going to hold off on uploading them until we're done recording... :<
It sucks but, I want the song to be fully don first before I show you lovely people what I've been working on

AND in other news! We're almost done recording our mini EP of cover songs, which includes songs from Nick Cave, Townes Van Zandt, Leonard Cohen, and Lonesome Wyatt!

You can buy our album or individual songs off of itunes here...

ATTENTION!

I'm open and up for any kind of commission guys... any kind at all, whether it be furry portraits, badges, t-shirt or tattoo designs... anything really! It would be greatly appreciated if anyone out there could help me out, and you won't be disappointed!

If anyone's interested, just send me a friendly note! : )

Well, I kept saying this month couldn't possibly get any worse... appearently I was very wrong.

On top of losing my car in an accident, being injured from said accident, and having an infected spider bite... now I'm un employed! How awesome is that? I just put a down payment on a car that I won't be able to afford now. This is just fantastic, it really is.

So if anyone is interested in any kind of commission and would like to help me out, that would be fantastic. I'm up for anything guys, so just shoot me note and we can discuss.

What a horrible week this has been, and let me tell you guys... when it rains, it fucking pours.

It all started Last Thursday when i was involved in a pretty serious car accident. I was driving home from work, and this guy just drove through a stop sign and hit me, pretty much dead center. My car got completely totaled, and ended up bruising my ribs and right arm. I'm still in pain from this whole event, and all week I've been doing nothing but dealing with insurance companies, rental car places, and DMV's.

AND to top all of this shit off, i got bit by a spider Saturday morning directly on my right ass cheek... yeah, my fucking ass cheek! It's gotten infected and let me tell you, the spider bite is more painful than my accident injuries. AND my bottom wisdom tooth decided to pop itself out and say hello! That's also extremely painful... Why the eff does this all have to happen within the same week? i mean, come on. Cut me some slack!

:(

Hey all, I'm still open for commissions !

I'm still doing my gothic/ victorian badges, examples are here...

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3353703/

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3389890/

they're $25 each- plus $5 if you're using paypal and live over seas.

This is a great deal guys, you're pretty much getting a full portrait for $25 or $30. Get um while they're hot ! Extra money would really help me out, and these are just so fun to do!

If you're also interested in character sketches, inks, backgrounds, just note me what you have in mind and we will talk about pricing :)

Well, it might not be, but then again it might... so step right up, gather round!

But now that I have your attention :) Our new album is STILL hot off the presses ! It's a 16 track CD titled, The Current, and all the album artwork was done by me.

Our music is something for everyone, and you can purchase this CD (and t-shirts!) here-

Don't know what we sound like? Well, give a listen!

We played a show last night at our local community theater- the theme was silent movies, so all the bands played in front of a different silent film. Our film was "Tempest" and my roommate did a great job of picking and lining up the songs perfectly with certain scenes of the movie. It seemed flawless, just like any other show.

Weellll, the band who played before us blew the PA system. Way to go guys! So we were all frantically running around, trying to fix it, etc. We eventually got a new PA system that someone generously lent us... but lo and behold, that one blew as well! While we were sound checking... how strange, and rare is that?

But anyway, we eventually had to play acoustic, except for the bass and electric guitar, which were through their own amps, they just had to turn down low. My poor roommate's voice was shot by the end of it, but it could have been worse.

Now, watch carefully everyone as I don't get a lot of comments back on this journal because I'm not talking about how baby fur/ pedophilia is disgusting.

Haha, oh furaffinity.

This site just ceases to amaze me every time I'm here. Not a day goes by where I'm browsing for something good and artistic... and what do I find? Baby "fur" porn. I mean, really guys? Really? To be honest, this stuff cracks me up (most stuff on this site does) but man, I was looking at someone's gallery today and I just had to comment.

I am a lover of all arts, which is why I join these different sites, because good art comes in all shapes and differences, but baby fur porn? honestly guys, I don't even consider it to be true art. You can't sit there and tell me you're looking at two baby furs fucking each other's assholes for it's artistic quality and vision (since most look like they've been drawn by someone with a 4th grade art level.) I mean, if that's what you're really into, who am I to stop you? Some enjoy 30's style pinup women... other's obviously enjoy animal pedophilia. Just don't sit there and call it "good art," because it's really not. There's no way to really justify that.

I really just had to share that bit of two cents with you lovely people... I've been laughing about it since.

Finally, the album is finished and hot off the presses! After countless months of blood, sweat, and hard work, the finish product came out perfect! If anyone is interested in purchasing a CD from me, you can check us out here- http://www.myspace.com/dreamoffiremusic

If you enjoy a darker folk that consists of tragic and beautiful story telling lyrics, with trombones, accordions, and banjos... then this is the perfect music for you!
It's a 15 track CD (with a hidden track) And all of the album artwork and cover was created by myself.

If you're interested in purchasing, the CD is $10 plus $2 shipping. Just send me a friendly note!

I hope you like our sound!

Well, one of the worst things possible happened to me the other morning. As you've probably seen in my gallery, I recently painted this image: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3562580 for our new album cover. It was hanging up for an art show at My friend Myke's tattoo/ art gallery. I was planning on selling it, and if no one had bought it at the show, I would wait till value went up on the picture for when the band gets big. Not a bad deal right?

Well, it just so happens that Myke is an ex of mine, and his current girlfriend is quite the lunatic... she hates me for dating Myke in the past. I hardly know the women and haven't spoken to Myke in Weeks. But the other night, in a fit of rage against me ( Have no idea why) She took my painting off of the gallery walls, smashed it over Myke's head (leaving cuts all over his face) and Ripping my panting in shreds... yes, RIPPED IT INTO SHREDS. I'm still n shock over this, and can't even begin to explain how crushed and upset my soul feels, so I won't. My grief for this my painting is just unexplainable. Unforgivable. And can't be changed. Ever. And for what? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I've done nothing to this women.... nothing at all. Extreme, unneeded jealousy is what provoked it.

So I've decided to take her to small claims court and have her pay for destruction of my property that was on consignment. There's no way I can lose this case, But i still feel dead inside.

That painting was like a child to me, as is all of my artwork. And I just can't believe that this actually happened.

Would anyone be interested in my victorian portrait badge commissions? They're done in photoshop- $25 a piece, shipping and lamination included.

Hey everyone, i'm pretty short on cash these days so i have to resort to comissions... because a little extra cash won't hurt. I'm trying to steer clear of furry art, since i'm not furry, but I'm only working weekends now and I have bills to pay! So new badge commissions will be available. I'm also starting a series of decrative box and chest commissions, in which I hand paint. They will range from $40 to $50. I'll have examples up this coming week. So if anyone's interested, note me for details.
