Well, I'll still alive. Despite not being active here (or anywhere else) for a while, I still exist!

And I'm working hard on art too, but since it's for a project due for release sometime next year, I can't upload any of it yet. Hush hush and the like.

But what I HAVE done is start a blog at The Ugly Goat - [link]
I talk about a bit of everything as well as art and illustration and the like. So if you're interested in those things, head over there. Fav it. Come back. Read!!!

Also...what? I can't get my mood selector to load. I'm not 'lazy' damnit! I'm caffeinated!

i forget everythng.
i usually forget to update here. i DO keep a journal, just not here...and i update it. pretty often, actually. sometimes too much, even.
see? here-->[link] here it is! my journal. PROOF that i sometimes remember things.

earlier tonight i really wanted a cup of tea. i was just in the right mood for it, and so i went and put the kettle on, waited for it to boil, and poured it into a cup with a teabag in it.
then i walked away to wait for it to cool and to let the teabag soak. i loathe weak tea.
so about an hour later, i'm thinking "hmm...i'm in the mood for tea again already. ok, i'll have another cup"
i go out to the kitchen, and there's my tea. stone cold, but strong. so i drink it. i prefer strong to hot any day.

in conclusion: there's not really a conclusion....maybe i was dropped on my head as a child?

so, it seems that i've got so much to say that i've had to hog somebody else's journal to get it all said.

check out [link] , where the ever fantaboulishicious Epicurean Poetry has interviewed me in her journal.
she's a smart cookie! : )

so, i got tagged. ten things about my art:

1. my art has changed a lot. A LOT. i used to work ONLY in graphite. now i barely ever use it...i actually never wanted to paint.
2. i often think i'm an awful, awful painter, and wonder what the hell i'm doing being an artist.
3. i've done some art just to sell prints. this makes me feel awful and like a total sell out.
4. i worry that i produce meaningless art sometimes, and lose sight of my own direction in my haste to get bills paid, try to rectify it, and feel so overwhelmed by the task of creating a deeply meaningful and moving picture that i get confused and often wind up making overly deep-seeming stuff that is actually just as meaningless.
i empty the recycle bin on my computer often.
5. i hate it when people look to me for insight or artful thoughts. i'm just a person that draws pictures. that does not make anything i might have to say inherently any more worthwhile than anything else. ever.
6. i also hate being asked where my ideas come from. where do ANY ideas come from? my imagination? i don't have a stock room full of them or anything. i don't buy them on ebay.
7. i don't follow proper rules of technique or anything while arting. it's chaotic, goes against all rules, and i don't care. perspective lines and tedious anatomy construction is the pitts. i don't do it. i just go with what feels/looks right to me. so shoot me.
8. i hate artistic wank. i just do.
9. i'm not a huge fairy fan. most of it kinda pisses me off.
10. i don't know who i am or where i am going in this ocean of chaos.

i tag...whoever. go for it, my pretties!

well, i'm officially on holidays until the 11th of july!
i'll be visiting the USA during that time, so naturally, orders from my website will not be processed until after july 11. same goes to DA messages.

also, i want to say thankyou to everybody leaving me comments or watching or faving me.
i really do appreciate it, however, i can no longer keep up with a personal thankyou for each one. i will read every single one and be thankful, and answer any questions i can, though.
but as for just "thankyou"s, i'll have to do them here- so, THANKYOU!
