I want to blame my lost of windows live writer as a reason to why I haven't blogged as much. Its part of the reason but mostly its to do with little time. I'm staying up late to write this (while listening to a podcast, multitasking) since its been noted that if the blog doesn't update, the site looks static.

So here's a major update post! So many ups and downs have been had this pas month. Jeez I've been physically and emotionally unstable, getting sick all the time then being super happy or feeling motivated one minute then screaming at poor family the next. It has not been pretty at all. I've written notes to my self of all the things I've learned lately so all the pains are valuable.

First the bad news, I'm behind on my school payments and at this point, there's no way for me to force more money in unless I get a higher paying part time or start charging a lot for commissions. My time is so maxed out, and passive income was never 'passive' for me and took up too many hours.

Which comes to my 2nd bad news, and that is Oeclair is on hold until I get a breather. Every moment I have is either homework (which is art), part time work, commission work (which is also art) and competitions (even more art). I've made a lot of art just haven't the time to post it up here. My DA is more recent but not by much and even then doesn't hold all of the sketches, class work and commission work I've done.

Let me not get started with con work, I said I wouldn't go next year but I need the money and sell off my stock. Mostly sticking to local with the exception of Otakon and NYCC. If I have the money, NYCC might be a regular con but otakon, I want to at least table this con once before it changes so much that I can't go any more.

Well thats a lot of bad news, lets chat about the good stuff.

I got into Exotique 7 with 'Warrior'. its a quarter page but many artists start off that way and its an older illustration. I've already prepared on what I'll be doing for next year and 'force' them to give me a full page spread (hmm, maybe a double page even?).

Also, my Illustration department held a gallery show Illust of Ill . I submitted 'Lady in red' and got an honorable mention! Its kinda funny to see how different pieces gets recognition. I thought 'Lady in red' would get a DD but instead 'Buttercup Lolita' did and that 'Hers' out sell both of them. Well I'll see how they sell next year since each of them have had a nice amount of exposure.

Alright, massive post yest? Well I think I'll just stop here and post other topics separate (hmm building a buffer?). Thanks for reading and caring. I'll be updating the gallery soon and possible have a sketch book tread at concept art (maybe even change the site). My mind is exploding with awesome new stuff and many light bulbs are going off, but the body is sluggish. I've lost over 10 pounds with out even trying (which I need to lose) and well, its kinda scary.
